So true.

Take it from someone who is not allowed to run right now. My poor husband, he is being so patient with me at the moment.

Aww RFC - it's just so frustrating feeling cooped up isn't it? Hope this phase is over soon.

Hang on in there. My partner had a little chuckle at that one and said that is very true.

I think this is what put me off running... seeing members of my family who are like this.

I have always been determined that my own running will *not* get this way. I've been really lucky not having injury to keep me from running - there have been times I have been too unwell to run but that's different, easier. I've had lots of times when other things have got in the way or had to take priority though - and there can be a little (private) niggle sometimes.

I sort of see running as a gift not an entitlement. But that is because for me, it really is - I've had years in which I've had to learn to accept not being able to do things or go mad. I mind more about not being able to vacuum (and I am not houseproud!)
