Wk1 Run1. Wooohooo, I am running

[Realfoodieclub]

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.

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

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

Yippee! That has made my day too, RFC! Seriously, reading your post has made me well up - I am so happy for you! 😀 So glad you enjoyed your very special run and let's hope that now you can slowly build up that strength and stamina. Once a runner, always a runner!🙂

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you. It was like i had put myself back together again after my run 😀. Hehe whole again

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate]

Hooray, she's back! I am so glad you are allowed to run again. And walking again with Mr RFC. Things are going great and it is so good to follow your progress. Welcome back!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

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 😀.

[misswobble Graduate]

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 😁

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to misswobble]

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 😀.

[misswobble Graduate]

It will be just lovely. Enjoy yourself 😁🏃‍♀️✔️👍

[linda9389 Graduate]

That's fantastic. I've read some of your posts - you sound amazing! Hope you're still smiling and looking forward to the next one

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to linda9389]

Thank you. Still smiling. 😀. Pilates tomorrow for my rest day then another run later this week can't wait.

[aliboo70]

Brilliant stuff RFC! You sound like one very happy bunny! And I totally identify with the feeling of "is this really me out here running?"as I get that nearly every time! You have a strong body and a mind to match! Well done!😊

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to aliboo70]

Thank you, next day and still a happy bunny 🐰. I really think it's that disbelief that keep me feeling young and full of wonder.
