W2R1: I left the house determined to get the job done. I found the 90 second runs very enjoyable and the breathing technique that Laura introduced gave me something to focus on. I couldn’t breath in for as long as she suggested but I guess that extends over time…?
W2R2: Bad start… 5:30am where are my running shoes? A member of my family who shall remain nameless had caused chaos in the shoe cupboard, it was like a bomb had gone off in there and my trainers were somewhere in the destruction that greeted me when I opened the door. I had to go, so grabbed another pair of trainers. They just didn’t feel like my regular trainers. They were uncomfortable and played havoc with my toenails the whole journey (my partner calls me grandad toes) - I pay very little attention to my feet/toenails usually… Toenail maintenance has now moved up from the bottom of the list on my (non-existent) personal care maintenance schedule.
W2R3: Good run! Though i’d mix it up a bit and modify my route slightly, It worked out really well - I thoroughly enjoyed it and arrived home on a high this morning.
A common theme on the runs this week was that I keep getting the urge to push myself a bit harder around the half way mark, it felt good, like I’d discovered a new vehicle in my garage that I’d never driven before. It’s how I’d imaging Lewis Hamilton might feel when Mercedes reveal the latest Formula one car “Lets put the pedal to the metal and see what this baby can do!”
But I’m not Lewis Hamilton, or a Formula one car for that matter… the best comparison I could make here would be to one of those beige motorhomes from the 1980’s that you see trundling along at 56mph on the motorway. The driver usually has a slightly concerned expression on their face, praying that he’ll make it to Dover… never mind the south of France. I am a Talbot Express Motorhome, with a dodgy gearbox and an exhaust that hits the floor when going over speed bumps. But still with some hard work and some TLC I think I can become a Volkswagen Transporter to be proud of… even if I do have to fiddle the emissions tests a little bit!
in the words of the great Baz Luhrmann:
“Enjoy your body
use it every way you can...
don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it
it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.”
Week three, I know you can hear me… I’m coming for you.

my speed is limited, but I can fit almost everywhere 
I like the idea, this will be my visualisation, or however you call it
