Battle of the wills


Oooh it was today. Ran home from Crathes after work. 4 miles - well 6.48km to be precise and I felt every bloody metre of it.

Couldn't find my rhythm and one side of me was saying 'Oh just stop, just walk. Go on, just for a minute!' and the other one was 'don't you dare, don't even slow down'. Thankfully the good side won and I didn't stop and even managed to squeeze out enough energy to throw in a loop of the forest to bring it up to full 4 miles but today is one of those days where you start to doubt your fitness and motivation and arghhhhhhhhh.

Still, warm now and stuffed a banana sandwich down my throat and a mug of tea and feeling decidedly more human. Now off for a hot shower to defrost the outside bits. I ran through a sleet shower about half way and even though I normally run hot, I was freezing today.

Not sure if it was just a bad day, or because I had a drink yesterday or because I only had a bagel and porridge this morning and nothing after 12 noon or because it was a late night. Or a combination of all.

But, musn't grumble! :) 4 more miles in the bank, which is good and my willpower is obviously improving!
