Was such a good feeling to have fought my running demons and won... To cut a long story really short i haven't been doing a lot of running since graduating for a number of reasons and the more i didn't run the more my mind said not to and then of course you get stuck in an endless loop of self doubt and put downs.
Having had words of support and encouragement from you great guys on here and from friends and family i decided enough was enough and i needed to get back out and pounding those pavements regardless of how i feel or what the weather is, and above all to make the time to do it.
Having tried to early morning run I have given up hope (for the moment at least) of ever doing that as i don't think my body is ready to face the world so early, however with all my kit ready last night well in advance i had no excuse and boy was i glad i got out.
It was fresh and i had no music to listen to as my ipod run out just as i started to run but i really didn't care in fact i am thinking of not listening to music as often as i think i ran better without it.
To all those who have given me the encouragement to continue and to not give up i cannot thank you enough, to those who are having a moment of doubt over their running, persevere you will get through whatever is causing you grief and you will come back stronger than ever
above all else keep wombling on
