It’s been a long week and I finished work later than planned
tonight so the last thing I wanted to do was get ready and go to Bootcamp. I
was tired and hungry (and probably a little bit Hangry!) but I ate a banana and
got my running clothes on before I could change my mind. I haven’t done any
exercise all week and I have another busy week ahead. I made every excuse
possible not to go for a run last night (and even got lost looking for the
Polling Station!) so I knew I had to make the effort tonight.
It took every ounce of will power within me to get ready and
go out the door. But I did just that. I knew it would make me feel better and I
know that if I have any chance of crossing the finish line of the Great North
Run then I need to keep training.
Within 5 minutes of starting Bootcamp I knew I’d made the
right choice. I then spent the next 50 minutes wondering why I’d chosen to put
myself through the pain, especially when the midges started to attack and the
grass left a rash on both legs. But then I felt happy again during the last 5
minutes and proud of myself for making the effort.

I’m generally a positive person and sometimes feel like I don’t
want to blog about the negatives, but then I think I need to keep it balanced. It’s
about ensuring that I look for the positives in the bad days and that’s what I did
tonight. I knew that I would feel better after I went so I made myself go.
Exercise is such a feel good factor and I for one never thought I’d be so
addicted to it (even though I had to all but kick myself out the door tonight).
Life is rather busy at the moment, quite a lot busier than
usual and the next couple of months show no signs of slowing down but I will
try and fit as much training in as possible to ensure I can cover the distance!
I am looking forward to doing another (different) Parkrun in
the morning with two of my friends from work.
