Sometimes running is easy. The sun is shining, you don’t have any other plans for the day, there’s no niggling injuries. And you feel good. Other days aren’t like that. Today was one of the bad days for me. My minds been a little scrambled, stressed, working a little too much, focusing on maybe too many projects. Get a grip Dave, it’s only a half hour jog. It’s not always the 5k, 10k, 42.5k that is hard part. Sometimes it’s the sitting up in bed, getting your feet on the floor, putting your trainers on and getting out of the front door. Just don’t forget your clothes as well. But once I’m out, I’m out out (cockney accent optional). And when I’m done, it doesn’t matter about what pace I ran or how far or the time. What matters is what’s happening between my ears. It’s about how I feel, how I’m coping and what I do with the rest of my day.
