Morning, completed the run , but that’s not really what I want to talk about
Before I go on I just want to state that I never expect replies or anything from what I write on here, it’s just that I don’t have anyone to really talk about running with so on here I just kind of vent my spleen about what’s going on in my running and head , feel free to ignore 👍🏻
So....i haven’t ran since last Tuesday (life/Work commitments) and strange things have been going on🤣...let me explain , during the last six weeks it’s usual for my legs to ache or be sore on a daily basis, I’ve just put it down to what I think happens when you start running three times a week, anyway on Saturday my legs started aching in a different way, I think they were aching because I hadn’t run?!?..is that even possible??...and then on Monday I was feeling all anxy because it had been nearly a week since I’d run ?!?...what is going on??....and then today I woke up I damn near jumped out the bed in excitements I was going for my run🤦🏻♂️
I get to run again on Thursday and I couldn’t be happier ...🤪
I still struggle, both on catching my breath and the legs still get heavy , and seasons will change with more pace but it’s becoming that I want to go running and that from where i was six weeks ago is absolutely mental

I think that may be starting to happen to me too - not the achey legsbut the feeling of wishing it was a running day. I’m very wary of pushing too much, as I’m 65 next week and so far running reeeeaaaallly slowly is working. TBH if I went any slower I’d be going backwards, but I gather that’s fine. Good for you, good for everyone on here wherever they are.
You are now totally, utterly, wonderfully hooked... the runs, the seasons, the changes... all indicators of a new chapter in your life...
Waking up, knowing it is a run day... going to sleep, waiting for that run day... watching the weather on a rest day and still wanting to be out there... I
