Does anyone else experience this pattern of emotions....

Before run...can’t wait to get another run in the bag..excited!!!

During run..I’M NOT ENJOYING THIS!!

Immediately after run .. that was brilliant can’t wait for my next run!!!!!!! 😆

Or is that just me????

That’s perfectly normal, CrazyDogLady... there’s a sentence you don’t imagine saying too often!! But yes, this is me: although sometimes some trepidation before my run, depending on how I feel generally

That’s good to hear I’m only on week two, I’m sure the trepidation is going to creep in!

The trepidation is normally down to how my joints are feeling, and whether I can ‘run it off’!

It’s bizarre isn’t it, I’m glad I have this false sense of ability before or I’d of probably given up already 😂

Me too! A lot of the voices of reason on here remind me that not every run will feel great. I have definitely experienced that - a difficult run when tired and sluggish followed by one where I feel great. I suspect that feeling these emotions about a run rather than other bits of life might be one of the great things about running though!

Ha ha ! Thought I had written this...I normally run first thing in the morning. Get excited beforehand, sometimes thinking “why am I doing this” whilst running then once finished punching the air with pure satisfaction.

We do it and should be proud of ourselves ! 👊

Even though our minds like to play little games with us...

😂All I think is one foot in front of the other whilst running soon as it’s done pure delight running is great 🙈

Sometimes I do enjoy the actual running bit but on the days where it’s hard I have to tell myself I’m enjoying it, though I don’t always believe myself lol. But afterwards I feel amazing n I can’t wait for the next run 😂

In total contrast I usually have 1 x day rest but I’ve not run since Tuesday I’m now dreading it this afternoon 😭 I will try and tell myself I’m enjoying and see how I go 😂

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my run yesterday then, it was brilliant 😊
