PUNCH UP

Today's run was seriously tough. Like I wanted to stop and cry about half way through. It was that bad.

It was my first day of doing 4 rounds of 2 walk 5 run and I thought it would be ok because I was only lowering my walk time by a minute and upping my run time by a minute. I'd been hitting 3 walk 5 run's last week, and like I said before next week's the tough one where I have to go for 2 walk 8 RUN!!!!

I knew as soon as I'd finished warming up that this was going to be a hard one. I hadn't really eaten properly in the day and felt shaky earlier on, like I was going to faint. But i was determined to run anyway. I immediately realised I wasn't properly hydrated at all. From then on it was stitches, generally dying, and my stomach felt awful. Then this happened




NOT COOL AT ALL. I was running along casually and then this guy put out his hand to get the bus and hit me in the face. Seriously starting to wonder if runners are actually invisible??


I was scheduled to run up this massive hill but I couldn't face it so I just did two laps of the high road to get to around 3 miles I think it was just under. I feel like a total WIMP now jheeze my favourite running mantra is the Peter Maher quote

"Running is a question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'"

Today I was definitely a wimp but tomorrow I am seriously going to smash the 2 walk 5 run AND that hill YEAH
