Up at 6am, scraping ice off my car at 6.15am so that I can go to the gym to do my 5k.

This would not have happened 9 weeks ago.

What has happened to me? 😂

I went for a run on Monday (having started this lark 18 months ago, not having run since school, probably 40+ years ago). Because it was damp I thought I'd run the pavements instead of muddy park trails and found myself thinking "If you want to run a hill you can..." and then "whoah, wait up! Did you just suggest you might miss running up a hill if you run on the pavements...". So, yes, totally understand. But I like this new me so much more!

I am in awe of you getting up at 6 to go to the gym, tho!

I started this running lark at the beginning of August on a whim but haven’t ventured outside yet with my running - but I will.

I am usually awake anyway waiting for the alarm to go off so I figured what the hell use that time for the gym. Saves having to go after work and it actually really gives me a boost for the day.

Well done on the hills !!! xx

You will prefer running outside when you make the change. I only run outdoors and now in all weathers which I never thought possible. Why not give it a go on your next run? 👍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I run both treadmill and outside . Do try and venture outside it’s beautiful especially if u can run round a lake or park .x

I will - I’m planning on doing a Parkrun in the new year and will probably do a lot more outdoor running then x
