Justin Timberlake is an absolute hero. Let me elaborate…
Having had a rollercoaster of a
week it had been a bit of a weepy weekend and so today I was feeling
like a ‘man-up’ talking to myself (via a 7 mile run) was needed.
Feeling psyched up and positive, I stepped outside into
rain. Fantastic.
Still, wanting to stick to the training plan I motored on. I
decided to shake things up a bit and run up Iffley, across Donnington bridge to
Abingdon road and up the canal to Port Meadow.
After the first 3 miles I was feeling pretty wet,
tired and miserable (the endorphins hadn’t yet kicked in I think!). I had hit a premature running 'wall.'
In
perfect timing JT’s (I'll use his nickname, we're tight) ‘Sexy Back’ came on shuffle. Potentially the
best song ever to lift my mood and get me groovin* as I carried on my run. JT helped break down this little ‘wall’ and I powered over Donny bridge. Snaps for Justin!
The other reason I love J-Dawg is because of this:
I wish I was that gangster, Jimmy and Justin, I am in awe**.
So all in all, those 7 miles (and JT) ended up helping to improve my mood. Great way to
clear my head, think and pray about things going on and gain perspective. Joy!
Hope you’ve all had a good Monday,
Lots of love xxx
*warning to any other runners, probably not best to sing
along when you’re running to Sexy Back, people (builders and women pushing
prams) tend to give you weird looks…clearly wasn’t quite ‘bringing sexy back’
in my bright purple running shorts.
**Girls from home, see 4.14-4.30, remind you of anything?
(Hint: Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds)
