Notes

This was a brave attempt going running today. I pushed myself to go out there. I felt physically drained after only 5 hours sleep, and doing 5 hours of household chores it was brutal (cutting grass, cleaning windows, hoovering, cleaning the bunnies, lifiting and bending constantly...etc). By the time time had come to go out there to run I could not bring myself to do it. I had a good self-talk changed my mind at least 5 times and then I just went. I said to myself ...'it cannot be that bad at least I can manage 2 miles and this would be good enough'. I managed 5 and I was proud after all. When one has been away from running due to an injury for 12 weeks it comes odd inside to submit to tiredness. Tiredness is not a reason for not running. So, my mind pushed my body and did it. Of course it is always enjoyable having a run even when tired. Then again if all runs were good, easy and without effort I would not know the difference between a 'Good' Run and an 'Off' Run.

As for the run itself it went pretty good. It was such a beautiful weather / day today that it would have been a big miss not putting in a run.
