I've just got through run 1 of week 4 and am really enjoying it. Who knew I'd actually LIKE running?

Well, good for you...you have great attitude and you are doing something that you like. Unfortunately I can't say the same about myself, yet.....🤞

Well done. I hate the first 10 minutes, then I loosen out and enjoy the second 10 to 15 minutes. After 25 minutes I’m back into the pain zone. Hate running any longer than 30 minutes. But I love the feeling of achievement afterwards. No pain no gain. Plan on 7K this evening. I’m looking forward to hating it if that makes any sense.😀

It's a really great feeling when you realise you are actually enjoying running, and came as a complete surprise to me too. I graduated last December having never run in my life before and it still surprises me that I actually enjoy it.
