Running Out Of Steam

By the end of 2024, I definitely ran out of steam. I had a short break in the Lakes at the end of November, with plans to do the Keswick Parkrun, but unfortunately, it got cancelled due to Storm Bert. I didn’t let the weather stop me completely—I did get out for some hill walking, even though the winds were pretty strong. Living in Doncaster, I don’t get the chance to walk in the hills as much as I used to, so I made the most of it.

After my trip, though, I just couldn’t seem to find my motivation. Then I caught a cold and have been feeling drained for the past three weeks, which led to a serious dip in my training. I did manage some therapeutic walks, but that was about it. I had to cancel a few Christmas events too, not wanting to spread the cold around.

Now, as we ring in the New Year—I’m not quite back to full strength, but I’m slowly getting back on track with my training plan. I can definitely feel the lack of activity in my body, though, as I’m now sore after a session at the gym. But I’m determined to keep going and get back on track!
