"I'm afraid the reason so many new runners quit is because they never get past the point of feeling like they have to run."

I like this quote, I thought I wasnt past the point if feeling like I have to run but I've damaged my hip flexor and I've not run for a week and a half and its killing me (I even had a cry about not being able to run!). Going to get back out there monday morning. Fingers crossed it'll be rested enough by then. Wish me luck :)

Hi Laura. Sorry to hear about your injury and I hope it heals quickly. It certainly sounds like you are past the point of 'having' to run :) Good luck for the run on Monday :)

PS love your pic :)

I think my dog has read the quote. He makes sure I do not quit!

Here it's a case of I have to walk (the dog) so I might as well have a run whilst I'm at it. The dog thinks this is FAB.

It is, and I think I may be getting pretty close to that 'point' ;)
