Wk1 Run1. Wooohooo, I am running

Got the ok from the physio last night to start running again. So obviously that was what I was going to do today.

Just come home from my run and it was hard work but so great. For me, nothing comes close to a run. My day is going to be good no matter what happens for the rest of the day I will of run and that always leaves me feeling accomplished.

That's the thing I get from running the most. For most of my life I've told myself I'm not a runner then four years ago I thought maybe, just maybe I could be. I started this program and haven't looked back. I've been benched from running for 4 months due to a major op and now I am getting back to running. The thing I have missed so much is the mental confidence running has given me.

I felt that old familiar feeling at the end of my run today. I am sure somewhere in the recess of my brain there is a little portion that still says I am not a runner and every time I go out and complete a run it is totally bowled over by the fact I can do this. I still feel proud eveytime I run and I have missed that feeling.

Even your difficult runs are good runs just because you got out there, acknowledge them and feel proud that your still out there no matter how the run goes.

Wishing happiness and health to you all.

Just a little jokey picture to share 😀😀😀😀😀.

Absolutely delighted to read this post RFC. It's been a long haul but you're back! Only 9 weeks and you'll be graduating again and the best bit is, you've already done it once so you know you can definitely do it - you just need a bit of practice. Fantastic news :) :) xx

Thank you. It is so good to go hiking as well as running. Two things I have missed. MrRfc is getting fitter by the day, I really am having trouble keeping up with him 😀.

Great to hear RFC! 😃 What a relief that must be

It feel quite weird when you run following a break. I dare say you'll soon get back into it 😃 Not 'alf 😁

Thank you. I will take it easy, physio says I have to build up slowly. A bit of practice what I preach sort of thing 😀.
