I was in a pretty negative headspace on Day 3 of this challenge and when I woke up to torrential rain on Day 4 I was seriously questioning my life choices! But as with most things in life, the reality is never as bad as the thought of it and by the time I arrived at Grimwith Reservoir it had just about stopped raining. In fact... I couldn't have been any luckier with the weather!
I was in a much more positive mindset for Day 4. Although my toenail really hurt, and I was still on two lots of antibiotics, and lots of painkillers for my infected root canal, I just felt more cheerful than the day before. I also felt slightly less tired, and so although the thought of another 6 laps of Grimwith Reservoir didn't fill me with joy, then I had a much better day than expected. Mindset is everything!
This video tells the story of Day 4 of my 5 in 5 challenge.
