W2R2 - completed

[IgaT]

Pop in to report that I've completed quite long overdue / postponed run. This time it was lonely run, as I needed some 'quiet' alone time to unwind and de-stress. I wanted to think through some things, but I was too concerned on running and my music all the rest worked out really good

Happy running!

[Sadie-runs Graduate]

Beautiful. Running can be a form of meditation, I think. Happy for you, Iga! x

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Sadie-runs]

Recently it is my 'mental' therapy after work When I don't run for too long, I start to be very stressed, anxious, and generally not very happy.

So suddenly it became crucial for me to keep running

[Sadie-runs Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Same for me, Iga, same for me. 🙂

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Sadie-runs]

What an awesome therapy And it's all for free if don't count shies, leggings, supportive bra, jumper, buff, base layer, and who knows what else for me some fancy running belt, bungee leash for those runs with a furry friend, and wireless headphones

Brilliant Iga sounds lovely, hope you are happily de- stressed

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes, I am I am sooo much happier and relaxed now. I feel I can get control over my life again

I am this wierdo who hated running and now can't function properly without it

[Scouser67 Graduate in reply to IgaT]

I’ve found running makes me feel less stressed and I switch my thoughts off and enjoy the run. I do feel it has helped with my mental wellbeing.

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Scouser67]

It's kind of meditation Brain occupied by raising HR, breathing, not falling down or tripping your own legs no place for anything else

[Millsie-J Graduate]

Great run Iga, keep going

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Millsie-J]

Thank you I will. Hopefully next run this week will close my phase 2 / week 2. Can't wait for little longer runs.

[Elfe5 Graduate]

Thanks

[icklegui Graduate]

Aaaaah lovely to read! Very happy that it's making you happier x

[IgaT Graduate in reply to icklegui]

Today was this type of run that wasn't great, but made me want to go run again asap, even now

[icklegui Graduate in reply to IgaT]

aaah yes the "I'm actually just addicted to running" runs ...

[icklegui Graduate in reply to IgaT]

or actually you possibly meant something slightly different - but you are addicted nevertheless

[IgaT Graduate in reply to icklegui]

Yeap, I've become addicted o_O

I've no idea why I want to run after such a mediocre run, but hey it doesn't matter. Now, it's rest and regenerate break with possibly some strength exercises and streaching

[Thewroesbowl]

Well done. You feel so good mentally when you’ve stopped prevaricating and got in with it. Xxx

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Thewroesbowl]

Indeed

[Hidden]

Fantastic. Really well done. I don't get down, so my post run mood lift sends me into the stratosphere every time, even after bad runs. You will find it gets better and better.

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I know Running is amazing
