It's time for my #running session but it rains heavily. Trying to find the motivation 😭😭😭

@s1m0n4 Running in rain is one of my favorite things but yes it takes some (or a lot of) courage to leave the door :) Hope you have proper gear!

@lrz I have waterproof jacket and shoes. I don't mind getting wet on my legs if it's not too cold (and today it wasn't cold). The right gear makes all the difference!

Getting out is the most difficult thing. If it starts pouring while I'm already running it's not such a big deal as if I'm about to leave the house.

Funny how my mind can play such tricks!

@s1m0n4 @lrz Oh goodness is that true. Lacing up the shoes when it's pouring buckets outside somehow feels slow and dramatic like I'm off to my doom. Then, once I'm out, wet, and moving, it's fine.

@WTL @s1m0n4 in my experience the mind will play all sorts of tricks to not work out :) sometimes beating the mind is more challenging than the actual workout!

For running so far it’s easy as I love it, but I alternate with strength training and I hate every second of these and some days it’s hard (like yesterday) but I also know that once it’s done I will be feeling better…

@lrz @WTL @s1m0n4
I love running in the rain and have been known to wait until it STARTED before going out 😹 Makes me feel heroically alive.
But I should do more strength and stretch stuff and the only way I can do that is by reminding myself how it helps future me running without injury.

Right now, it’s all about just getting the miles in before year’s end. *This* close to 1000miles again… screw the strength training right now 🤣 but I’ll go out in all weather to get my miles in.

@tinebeest @lrz @WTL I'm not a big fan of tracking and data collecting. I use the PUMAtrac app (free) for tracking my running sessions and I tried some of the workouts available there. Usually I just plan my workout sessions myself, according to my goals. At the moment I want to improve push-ups, pull-ups, double-unders, core and prevent calf injuries (a recurring issue, unfortunately 😭). I don't have room for anything else right now

@s1m0n4 @lrz @WTL I understand! I just like that it keeps me motivated with a little squiggly line that inches forward to my goal, but I used not have goals like that. And Fetch syncs automatically with my Garmin, that’s really nice.
