I have had an epiphany! Inspired by LoungeLizaard asking how I was getting on today I realised that I actually really love running and I know that’s how many of you feel too but I didn’t really think about it until today - I’m almost obsessed! I am constantly on running websites and planning routes. I have running friends at work and we are always discussing races and paces, park runs and fartleks and whether Wiggle have a sale on! But the BEST thing happened this week...
We had the school photos this week for all the students and during one session my job was to supervise. While we were waiting for the kids to come down for their pictures I was talking to the photographer who asked me if I was a runner...
‘I obviously look really fit and physically like someone who runs loads’ I thought 💭 ‘Hey look at me - I look like a runner’ I thought 💭
‘What makes you say that?’ I said - waiting for him to tell me how amazing and physically fit I look...
‘You’re wearing a Garmin...’
Oh.
Still, we got chatting about it and he seemed as obsessed as me. It was great. And I wasn’t too disappointed he didn’t think I physically look like a runner 😆 😆 😝
I’m a runner. I love running and I am so happy I discovered it. Happy running all 🏃 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 😍😍❤️
I know what you mean about being gutted if you don't get out. I've been struggling with some shin and ankle pain (is that shin splints?) after attempting a rather hilly run last Monday, so the last run I did was Wednesday. I'm itching to get out there. I think I'll be OK to try a small run tomorrow, we shall see. I'm really thrilled to see you enjoying it so much. I really needed the encouragement myself
