1. I don't enjoy the run, but the feeling afterwards is amazing!

2. I can't find a good route when I live now which puts me off.

3. My chest (I have had disease in my lungs) has been bad (week7) and I'm really really struggling ๐Ÿ˜ž

4. I've got my number for a New Year's Eve race!! Only 5k but last time I did it 4yrs ago I did 34.5 mins so I have a time to beat! (At the moment I'm looking at more like 50mins!!)

5. I WILL keep going. ๐Ÿ˜

Hello, welcome back โ˜บ

There are running routes everywhere just waiting to be run โ˜บ Have a darned good look ๐Ÿ˜Š

If you have a race booked then hopefully that will be sufficient motivation to keep going

Slow but sure does the job. Good luck ๐Ÿ˜Š

I am a real foodie! No-one likes food more than me, but I like my food healthy. It can be done. I grow lots of stuff so it's not that difficult to whip up something lush. I don't do takeaways any more. Those days are long gone, along with the booze. I wasn't a runner back then though
