I Have Surprised Myself

I only ever used to run for the bus but amazingly I have now completed 9 runs. I am loving this whole new me even more. There are two things I noticed during the first few runs. My arms and legs would itch a lot after a run. Anyone else had this? I am also noticing a change in my food preferences.

Read the link from IannodaTruffe ,, so much great advice there. The itching.. could be sweat,, or increased blood flow whizzing around your body... waking it up and shaking it up!

Food preferences..as long as they are healthy :)

Thanks for sharing the links. Itching has stopped which is a good sign.

Just think... one day you’ll be able to run for that bus from 5km away 😂

Welcome... and what they said!

😂😂 I will be running alongside the bus rather than FOR IT!

If the traffic near you is anything like ours, you’ll be faster than the bus!
