I tried to run a slow 5k but it ended up only being a couple of minutes slower than my best time 😂 I am not good at keeping it slow, any #running community tips for how to slow TF down???

I was going to work through lunchtime but maybe I’d be better off mentally going for a walk?

Good morning. I’m slow to get going today. The day is warm, but heavy and grey, making indoors gloomy. I’m not feeling very motivated but I’ll probably be OK once I get going. Meh.

I hope you are feeling more vibrant?

Feeling kind of blah, so going to bed earlier than normal. Why am I feeling blah? Fucked if I know, pretty much everything about today was really good. Although I didn’t exercise, so that might account for it - it was too damn hot.

I don’t want to work this afternoon, I want a siesta. Can someone pretend to be my mum and write me a note? Just say I’ve got tummy ache or something

Good morning! I was up a bit later than intended so I had a rather rushed breakfast and got to my desk bang on 8.30 for my intention-setting group. I was very productive in the deep work session starting at 9am (OK, I did stop for five minutes to fuss the cat, she was very insistent) but I’m taking my break early now to go and get a milkshake 🥰

What are your Tuesday plans?

I’ve been super focussed this afternoon filling in a very long form to request for ethical approval to go and collect some data at the food bank. I had envisaged doing this in about six months’ time but there’s is suddenly money available from the local council to get fresh fruit and veg into the food bank like RIGHT NOW and we need to be in a position to get down there and collect some lovely data!

I now have a list of FOURTEEN forms and supporting documents I have to create and attach. I have departmental templates for some, which I hope will make things quicker. I’ve already drafted my interview questions and tomorrow I’ll start putting together the survey.

I love this stuff and I’m thrilled that I get to do it now rather than at some point next year!

Just realised I took morning meds instead of night meds last night. That… would explain it 😬

Dithered about whether to go on a run or just a brisk walk. I walked up the hill to my usual starting point, then set off running. I started running and thought, “Oh I can’t do this, I’ll just do 20 minutes and call it a day” but ended up knocking 2’ 25” off my 5k time! Woo hoo!

Now rewarding myself by sitting in the sun on the patio with a very chilled alcohol free pear cider, which I feel is well deserved #running

Obviously the police force attracts people who enjoy exercising brutal power over others, but seriously, who follows orders to bodily arrest frail octogenarian women for holding pieces of cardboard and doesn’t think, “OK, this is just stupid now, and I want no part of it”?
