W6R3 again, sunshine (finally).......

Well, sad to say W6R3 has eluded me once again. I had 2 days rest after Weds' attempt and thought I'd get out early this morning, fresh and in the sunshine, and I did. Went up to Pitsford Reservoir which is only a 10 min drive away - thought a change of scene and some beautiful water to look at would inspire me. And it did, I managed 20 mins today, but breathing was completely shot so I had to walk for 2 until I felt less like I was going to die, then did another 8 minutes. I just want to be able to run that nice constant run instead of having to stop and start, so annoyed with myself! But, it was a lovely morning and I enjoyed myself immensely. Will definitely run at Pitsford again, but without the whinging husband who doesnt run (or even walk far) who got bored and went back to the car!

I made a deal with welshwoman56 that we'd both get run 3 done today, sorry welshwoman56, I didn't quite make it but I KNOW YOU CAN!

Anyway, the sun is still out, I have friends visiting tonight and am going to enjoy a glass or 3 of cold vino. First drink in 3 weeks - what is this running malarkey doing to me?!

And here (hopefully) is a photo from Pitsford Reservoir this morning

Happy running/shuffling/walking in the sun guys x

It looks lovely there - very inspiring! You'll make the run next time, I'm sure. Enjoy your vino :)

Aw Fillyfoo, the reservoir looks like a beautiful place to run. I'm sure you will make it next time. Is it possible for you to slow right down and take smaller steps when you feel like you have to stop? I'm sending you positive vibes every day now until you tell me that you've done it!!! Good luck with the next run xxx
