I’ve made the mistake of entering races, knowing that I wasn’t feeling it, carrying on out of bravado - and inevitably not enjoying them. Utterly defeats the purpose. Fair play. (Your new field looks great BTW.)
@LauravsLifeАй бұрын
Thank you, it's nice to know I'm not alone with these feelings! Aww thank you, Daisy loves it 😅

You have clearly made the right decision for you - running should be something we enjoy and I think it’s great that you have taken the pressure off yourself. Enjoy exploring your new local runs and settling in to your new home. 🙂
@LauravsLifeАй бұрын
Thank you so much!! I couldn't agree more, I hated that I had started to feel like I was forcing it and it just didn't make sense to do a race at the end! ❤️

Laura don't panic life ain't easy but you don't need to make it worse. Find a local social running club, try the local sports/runner shop. A year off is nothing to worry about, I took two years off and this year I'm running 4 Half's. When you're feeling it, you're feeling it good or bad.
@LauravsLifeАй бұрын
Aw, thank you so much!! Good luck with the Half's! 😊

Making this decision shows incredible strength of character Laura - and enjoyment of running, and feeling happy and confident in running in your new area is so much more important than any races. Looking at the comments here, there is nothing but support behind you! Take your time, get the love back, and then plan for races when you feel ready, again!

Hey Laura, my wife and I really enjoy your videos but please don’t feel you owe any of us any explanations. Do whatever is the best thing for you. As long as you are enjoying your running, or not running, then that is all that matters. If you do make future videos and keep running you will always have two supporters here.

Good decision Laura. Mov8ng house s crazy stressful. Making the right decision for you shows strength. So many people do things because they ought to, or feel they have to, or worry what others think, it’s crazy. Enjoy whatever you do next, maybe it won’t be running, maybe it will, but whatever it is, have fun. 💕
