🏃♀️ Why am I sharing this? 🏃♀️
Do I think this is a good time? No idea 🙈
Do I enjoy running? Quite the opposite 🤦🏻♀️
Do I like how running makes me feel? Yes 🙌🏼
This morning I asked myself, what do I NEED to do today and what do I WANT to do?
Need:
✔️ Take little one to nursery
✔️ Walk the dog
✔️ Join eXp UK EstateAgents online meeting
✔️ Complete my list of admin tasks
✔️ Atend a lunchtime appointment
Want:
✔️ Get some fresh air - so important in between horrible rainy days
✔️ Do some sort of exercise...
(If I am really honest I want to sell all my houses on the market too, but asides from work!)
So I decided that after the nursery drop off, I would take Sam and go for a run 🐕
Something that previously I would never had the confidence to do, I am NOT a runner, my body does not look like those who run competitively. I dont think my body even likes running, I need distractions and goals.
Did people who look 'the part' pass me by looking effortless? YES. Did I actually care? Absolutely not! Sometimes I had to stop and walk for 30 seconds to catch my breathe. Sometimes my dog would pull me from pillar to post and p*e on everything in site!! (Is this just my dog!?) A dog even launched themselves at Sam! It was not uneventful and I dont even know if 33m is a good 5km, but I feel fresh, healthy and this was something I can do for myself, which does make a change to the norm!
I want to thank Sloth Coffee Co ☕️ slothcoffee.runclub for giving me that confidence to be able to just go to the prom and put one foot in front of the other!
And when I live within walking distance to this gorgeous backdrop, why not! 🌊
