If I hadn't already realised it this morning has really proved that I'm addicted to running.
Woke up about 5.30 and knew I needed to get straight out of bed and go for a run. Knowing I won't be running Parkrun tomorrow as I'm volunteering I'd planned a 5k route.
But the gremlins woke up at the same time, I felt awful, headache and stiff and achy all over. I knew it was just me having a bad morning so thought I'd just run for 10 mins ... well, your shouldn't do too much in this hot weather should you!
So I did my warm up walk and set off. Moving only slightly faster than running on the spot to begin with. The first few minutes were gently down hill so managed to build up a bit of speed.
... well to cut a long story short I ended up finishing my 5k, headache gone, stiff joints back to normal levels (age related!).
So pleased I got out there ... so pleased I started this running lark ... and so pleased to have you lovely people to share it with.
Happy running everyone ... and keep cool!
