Its raining, it looks cold and its 7.05am the do I, dont I? is creeping around my mind, but I know if I leave it till this evening I’ll regret it, so off I went to get ready pulling on my cookie monsters telling myself I can do this!
Drove to the bottom of the trail, I know we only live up the hill but needed to be back for stu to go to work and wanted my run to cover the lake, Forgot head phones, so had to drive back 🤣🤣.
Again that first 5 minutes seemed to be such an effort and felt like 25, with the whole country park to my self apart from an odd cyclist or dog walker, and it was the odd one, I had no human markers to beat getting past today so with little chance of ploughing into anyone I put head down and concentrated on just keeping those legs going and before I knew it the half way bell had gone.
I imagined my little cheering squad telling me to woman up and waiting at the end and before I knew it I was done. Another step closer to graduating!
When I looked at my stats I was ecstatic, not only had I ran the farthest distance but my pace was the best yet!! No idea how, I truley thought I’d gone so slow.
