Love running!

Never thought I'd be saying that! Watched the commonwealth games marathon this morning and felt extra motivated so went out and did 6k with my quickest ever 5k (31mins!).

I've always been averse to running but now addicted! Love how supportive this forum is too, kept me going when I wanted to give up!

Happy running everyone! :-)

Don't we all! Although sometimes a I have a little bit of loathing mixed up in that running love :)

Well done on the PB, the marathon was absolutely astounding and very motivational.

Oh definitely! I had a horrible run on Thursday in the heat and wanted to pack it in! The marathon helped my enthusiasm a lot :-)

I know what you mean :) Rest days I just spend wishing for a run day to arrive :)

Haha Paul I'm the same! I spend rest days planning my next route! Feels like I have had a personality transplant but in a good way :-)

Well done, PS! :-) I know just what you mean; watching all the astonishing athletes earlier made me want to throw my gear on and go out running, but I was good and stayed in.

Well done on your PB; it's safe to say that you've now caught the running bug! :-)

Congrats on the PB, well done. I too am obsessed with running, especially on my two day break - I get quite grumpy :) The me of a few months ago would laugh if you said I would turn out like this. And don't get me started on the time I spend browsing online running shops :)
