I wonder that myself sometimes, giving up my Sunday lie-ins to get up and go out running, reading Running magazines and drooling over snazzy running gear - who the hell is this girl?!

Well done on passing up that chance just think what the conversations can be when you have finished and obviously all the drinks you will get for being successful

Its funny I am exactly the same it's all I talk about and often all I think about and I love it. I used to love my lie ins and had more lie ins than early starts as I worked shift work now some weeks go by where I never get one and I miss my long early Sunday runs if the girls aren't out like at Easter 😂I keep asking my oh (with a large grin) if he wants to trade me back in for the old model as I call her Happy running

It's weird isn't it? That is me too. What is it that is so addictive I wonder?

"No, it's 13 hours until parkrun and I can't beat my personal best with a curry and beer inside me".

Not what you're looking for?
