Normally, I would rise above this, but it had me in it's grip this weekend and would not let go. Yesterday morning I was supposed to do a 40 minute long run but when the alarm went off and I found I could barely move thanks to the colossal amount of pain killers/antihistamines (thanks hay-fever) I had consumed during the very restless, hot sticky night!
Anyhoo, this morning marks the start of my third week of half marathon training. I'm very glad to say I finally got my shizzle together and got out there. It was hot, It was sticky, my joints still hurt like hell but I was going running if it killed me! Not only did I complete my 40 min run, it was the longest I have actually run continuously without stopping for a little walk AND I conquered a long hill that has been bugging me since the days of school cross country (22 yrs!) so I am looking at this morning as a success. Oh and I did it without feeling the need to block the world out with headphones :)
Monday motivation (could have done with this yesterday!):
