Struggling!

Hey all!

I am really struggling to get back in to the routine of everything since getting back from my holiday, work, running, gym, food, it’s so hard!

I got out running today though, with two of my fab running friends and decided to do a bit of a long one to get myself out and back into the routine of my long runs again. It’s only 3 weeks until my next half so I need to get my bum in to gear!  I love going out running with them, it just makes it so much easier, having a good gossip the time flies.

I did 7.5 miles in the end, which I was pleased with, although my legs do feel tired today and I have a bit of a niggle in my hamstring, I need to get back into doing my 20-30 min stretching again of a night time and get a sports massage booked in when I can, hopefully this will help.

I saw this picture today and thought it was so true for me ha ha.

I really think if I couldn’t get out and run I would go crazy!  It is the perfect therapy, it clears my mind and makes me feel good about myself.

Just remember we all have negative thoughts when we’re doing some kind of exercise, you feel like you can’t or don’t want to do it, but always remember how good you felt after your last session/run.  I go through stages of not wanting to run and I have to make myself go out and literally just keep running through this stage, until I’m feeling it again.

I’m sitting here writing my blog with a lovely glass of chilled white wine, even though I do like to be strict with my food a treat of a glass of wine is what is needed on a Friday night!

Happy Easter everyone, have a lovely long weekend :0)
