Talking New Focus... New drive...(LADIES WHAT LEG IT)

Had a really pants weekend of rushing about like mad doing way too many things at once.. when I did stop it was to a real low ‘what’s the point’ feeling. I know why of course but it's no excuse!

Needless to say my nice LSR I usually look so forward to got cancelled with no one to blame but me.

Not like me at all...

So, this week I want to start a fresh.. no more moping about. I’m going to get out there this week and aim for my first 20+ miles total.

I thought if I posted a new thread it might help me stay focused. Now you guys know the plan you can see if I’m achieving or skiving!

1st run of the week will commence in 2hrs time. Nice lunchtime run around the country side then back to my desk...

Lets Do it!

A thread to yourself is good - works for me anyway

Have a great run at lunchtime, eat into those miles!

But don't forget to have some other me time too, you don't want to wear yourself out again this week.

Laura, I have been having the same sort of feelings about my running and had a hectic week last week so running was a bit non eventful!!

I think I will join you in the 20 mile challenge for the week. Let's try and help each other out with it and keep each other on track!!

Good luck!!
