Well it’s been a week since my last run and boy can I feel it.
It’s strange that in the short time I’ve been running I’ve noticed such a change. Previously not doing any exercise all week was the norm and I felt okay about that. Now after a week without running, my legs ache, I really feel like every meal is just piling the pounds on without running them off and I’m frustrated that I’ve not managed to run.
So my body is telling me it needs to run but my mind is saying other things! The kids are off to a party this afternoon and I’ve got a couple of hours free time. I’m going to do at least 8 miles, hopefully 10, but my brain is urging me not to!
It’s a struggle to remember that I can run 8 miles. I’ve done it only a month ago but it’s like my brain is trying to convince me that it was a dream or something. The thought of running 6 miles even making me nervous and yet I’ve done that distance about 6 times now.
So why is my brain being such a pain in the arse about this? Answers on a postcard please…
