So running along this morning on my week6 run2 first ten minutes. Warm, dapply sunlight. Suddenly found myself thinking 'I'm enjoying this'

A bit stunned. This is me the non- runner, unfit person! When did that happen??! All you guys talking about your love of running... Think it's starting to sink in.

25 mins none stop next. Gulp!! Here I come!!

Thanks everyone for getting me this far.

Totally weird. Kind of caught myself out as I'd still been thinking how come everyone else enjoys this and I'm just scared or struggling?

Yup, sounds about right. That's it, then. No hope for you now. Parkrun next(if you haven't already!) and then start in collecting the bling...

Yes I love autumn! Think I'll miss the squirrels when they hibernate. I am hoping the enjoyment continues... It's more cloudy and damp today so might not quite get that dapply sunlight feel again. Hope you have s great running week!

Ooohhhhh thats where the addiciton kicks in 😂 Its funny isnt it when you suddenly realise youre not heaving for breath and your legs are like lead...i followed mine up with "am i still breathing? Yes and not struggling"

"Hiw are my legs? Are my legs ok? Yes they dont feel like they're dropping off"

Then i was like oh my god im ACTUALLY running....

Best moment of my life when i realised i was a runner after all tht struggle xxx
