After graduating a week ago and now consolidating with 30 min runs, I was still of the view... I don't like running. I always got the buzz after, but still did not like running.

Today I had the chance to run by the river Lippe in Lippstadt Germany, here working over the weekend. What a buzz, in the run! Usual good music, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin etc but the stunning surroundings. Just pounding away, not a care in the world. When I looked at the distance after, I made 3.9k in the 30 mins!! about half a click more than before.

Now for the footy..... coooom on England!

Thank you! At last someone else who doesn’t like running, but enjoys the afterglow/smugness. You’re now confirmed as my official running soulmate 🏃🏻‍♀️😂

Blimey!! Next post you'll be saying you actually like this stuff after all.. It's good getting off the hamster wheel and just running about, eh?

Lippstadt was just a bit spesh, hope the buzz continues, try out another in the morning before I fly back pm. The trick will be keeping it going over winter. By then I might get a hamster wheel.. or at least a treadmill. Only did one run indoors in a hotel gym so far!
