Feeling pleasantly content

After a bad night sleep really didn’t feel like getting up at 6am and running this morning. Knew I’d regret it if I didn’t go so ventured out in the rain (don’t mind a bit of light refreshing rain so not a problem!) Rt leg/foot hurting a bit so maybe time for a gait analysis (although I’d be afraid I can’t run far enough)! Anyway seemed to relax into it, started feeling good, ran past 3 people and didn’t care (it was dark 😊). Finished the run with Style Council “shout to the top!” Feeling happy now, ready for the day!

Well done 👍 I love the early morning runs too best part of the day. You never regret going for a run even if you don’t feel like it sometimes. Keep up the good work 😀

Well done you.. the best start to a day.

Get the gait analysis... not worth letting the foot niggle turn into any thing more serious:)

I'm amazed by you, people, finding the strength to go out on a short night sleep. If I do so, I need to make sure I can have a nap later in the day, otherwise I'm a zombie. So all my cheers!! Style Council, yes, that would be great to add on that C25K music podcast. Thank you for reminding me :-) Someone also had some songs from The Jam (A Town Called Malice). I definitely need to make my own set list to get motivated again. Wish you some more pleasant runs!

Good work Sarah! And it is such a nice post-run feeling, pleasant contentment. Aaaah. I am a big fan of early morning running too, and was out in the rain at 6:15 this morning. I peeped out the window when I woke up and was in two minds, as it was coming down heavy, but I went - and it was fab. Rain didn’t bother me at all!

Do go get a gait analysis; it is so important to have the right support. You got to look after your running body!
