I'm happy.

Just come back from my 30 min run with a friend. We are following our club instructions, with two weeks left to graduate. This morning, I realised that I am just so happy. I love the fact I can run for 30 min without stopping. I'm happy that I joined my club, I'm happy I met the girls I have befriended. Long may it all continue and it can only get better. πŸ˜€

Great, isn't it? I'm happy that you're happy! Happy running.

ps: I recently heard someone say 'happiness = peace of mind / peace of mind = happiness', it kind of resonated with me as I feel so much more peaceful since I started running.

I would have to agree with that completely pollyp1. Maybe that is how I feel but it just makes me feel happy & content. It's pretty simple.

Great post ! Think it's great that you have also met other like minded people ! There's nothing like Team work. I'm sure running with others really helps.

It's great the sense of achievement and benefit. Only wish had started earlier.

Well done keep on running.

That's fantastic, what a lovely post. I think most of us really can't believe we would ever love to run this much and all wish we'd discovered it sooner! Running really does change us, doesn't it?! :D

My brother, who's been running longer than I have, said that he'd heard a doctor say that "yes, running IS addictive, but it's not an addiction that you need to worry about". :)

Great stuff! It is simply wonderful isn't it! Shoes on and go. I love the freedom of it 😊

I was running to Nina Simone "i got Life" the other day, and smiling that we can be happy with simple pleasures 😊
