So - today's run provided:
- bramble scratches which have left an actual trail of blood down my arm - proud war wounds
- running in a vest rather than trying to cover up (but it's a loose vest which does the job)
- and enlightenment - nothing particularly useful, just the observation than giving in to the overwhelming need to walk (which happened at the highest point of the run) is akin to giving in to the urge to snack when you're trying to lose weight. It all counts, everything is a decision you make, everything has consequences. The challenge is to balance that temporary relief against the consequences. OK if the walking thing means you avoid vomiting or fainting then fine, but giving in cos you're a bit tired isn't - slow down to almost walking because once you walk once it's too easy to walk again. Plus it passes, the run will end, there is a meal to come later, there will be downhills ahead.
You're welcome
