Still surprise myself...

when I do a 5k run. I do at least one a week and sometimes two. It still amazes me that I can do it. At the moment I am quite happy doing just 5. I am sorting out some new routes. I don't feel the need to do more. But never say never. Yesterday I did my usual 5k run and was so chuffed with myself. I love my 5min cool down walk. I am in Rock Choir and I am sure that running has helped my lung capacity and I can now hold the notes for longer.

I completely empathise with your great post. For me my running has become part of what I do and seems to have given me energy and stamina in all my other activities. From those early days when I thought I would collapse in a puddle of sweat after 1 min running , to running 30 mins regularly is a constant source of amazement.

The buzz is what duzz it for me 😁
