I broke my Promises

“Today” I broke two promises I made earlier this year.

I didn’t write every day.

Yesterday I was super busy and therefore I am writing the post for 23rd now in the morning of 24th. On the one hand it feels a bit like cheating myself (as I’m backdating the post). On the other hand, I have a positive feeling because I felt bad for not writing anything. So, it is starting to get a habit and pressuring my conscience - good!

I didn’t run 10km every day this week.

I said I’ll try to run 10km each day this week. Yesterday we switched locations and I went running at 19:30 in the evening (sunset is at ~18:30). I was feeling a bit tired (as it was the 6th day of my challenge and also the end of a busy day) and I was not able to find any illuminated & flat track here.

So I ran slightly more than 5km handling more than 200 metres in altitude.
After the 5km I had the choice of either
a) stopping,
b) repeating the loop (and getting another 200 metres in height), or
c) running on the dark highway were cars were passing with up to 100km/h.

I chose option a) to not get hit by a car and to not destroy my legs. Which means: I missed my 10km on the 6th day. However, having 6 runs with more than 56km in 6 days is something I can celebrate too 🙃
