W7R1. It’s running Jim....but not as we know it.

It must be running - laura said so at the end of last week - although it may not be in a form easily recognised by the casual observer.

‘I am a runner...’ i wheezed to myself as was overtaken, en masse, by the local fitness club taking a leisurely stroll.

‘I am a runner’, i reiterated, vision, misted over by oxygen deprivation and dripping perspiration.

‘I am a runner!’ I whooped inwardly as I staggered, beetroot-faced through the 5min warm down.

It must be true. Laura said so.

I have subliminally been noting my emotiface choices at the beginning and end of each run and realise that since week 5 i have been selecting the neutral one. Prior to that it was grumpy face all the way. I have a feeling i’m going to select a half smile tomorrow...never expected that....but...i’m a runner now!😜

I have to admit - I was terrified of week 5. It just looked so daunting. So scary. So much jogging....
