Smile to keep going...

Today I started my W7R3 with a big smile on my face, because I was just so glad to have conquered my usual motivation issues. I felt the smile carried me along. Later in the run I was flagging a couple of times and found that if I put the smile back on my face it gave me a lift! Probably looked a bit manic but only a lonely buzzard and a couple of seagulls witnessed it. So, if you’re struggling, try the smile technique. 😀

At Parkrun they actually tell people to smile as they run. It definitely helps!
