W7R1 and 3 quarters

I was going to go out for my run today, but the sky started to turn black do I headed to the gym instead. Despite having a down week in w6 I really enjoyed it and powered through just fine. I really enjoyed it. The thing I love is that despite being knackered at the end, by the time I complete the warm-down I am ready to go again!

Anyway, someone came up to me as I was stretching and asked 'how do I become a runner like you?' You might think there was an element of sarcasm... But there wasn't! It made me feel great, and I directed them to here.

On my way out, I was chatting to one of the instructors (pretty & female) and she said she was watching me and was impressed with how I had come on. Also said that I lost weight and was looking good. Now I know 'shmoozing' is part of their job, but it still made me feel great.
