I went for one cr*ppy run on Monday night and that is all I have done courtesy of a tummy bug that I have had since Tuesday lunch time ! I have done no training and the amazing thing is that, on some level for me, that is OK. I have finally come to the realisation that sometimes training is not the best thing I can do for my body - sometimes resting is the best thing I can do for my body and that is what I have done this week.
Tomorrow will be a big walking day - K and I are planning to go to Brisbane, park at Southbank and walk across to Queen Street Mall. Walk around there and shop if the need arises. Then walk back to the car - drive across to the Gabba - or at least to a parking within walking distance of the Gabba. Find somewhere to eat. Go to watch the Suns (very possibly) beat the Lions. Then walk back to the car and come home.
Sunday is the first day that I am looking at to get running again.
Sometimes rest is better for me than exercise - at least this week it was !
Linking in with a blog hop at katesaysstuff (even though I don't know how to load the blog hop but ask that you hop across and blog hop from her !!!)
Have the best weekend possible !
TFTD : You don't have to make anything happen. Just align with what wants to happen and let it.
I have nothing other than crappy runs. I want to get to that place where I enjoy running. One day.
ReplyDeleteOne wobbly foot at a time.
For sure it will happen one day Claire. I NEVER ever thought of myself as a runner - I always just walked until one day I ran a couple of lamp-posts - and that was the start !
DeleteKeep it up and just now you will enjoy it - sort of fake it until you make it !!!
Have a great weekend - love, hugs and positive energy !

Hello ME,

Cheers and have a great weekend.

Hello, it seems like not doing the exercise we hoped is a wee theme for the week. Got to be flexible. I did a quick 30 mins at gym today, first time there for two weeks as kids in holidays here. Just need to be practical, we mums.
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting your gym session in - it really is about being flexible when you have little ones.
DeleteTake care !

I have to admit it has helped me a lot reading that I'm not the only one struggling to exercise recently, and accepting that sometimes that is okay too!
ReplyDeleteHope your tummy is better very soon, jut read today's post as well and sounds like its not quite there yet. I feel for you!
