I think the wind controlled the pace more than me. I am pleased that I got out a did it especially on my own. Had to switch days as forgot I was away the rest of the weekend.
Nothing about that was easy today. Generally I have been feeling ok about my running but today I think I failed as a runner.
There is always next week! It was nice to see you though and other friendly faces.
“Failed as a runner” Cmon, stop being so harsh on yourself. This run was 80 mins at easy pace (11:00 min miling). You did 80 mins, in really tough conditions at 10:50. To me that’s a “success”. You did exactly what was asked of you. Hastings parkrun has averaged close to 400 runners every week this year. Today only 275 completed it. So 125 stayed in bed. They are the “failed runners”, not you. So I’d just like to rethink this morning and say, you know what, I got out of bed, in tough conditions, and did exactly what the coach asked me to do. So that was a great run, even if it did feel tougher than normal. Well done Tina, onto the next.
