David 25 - Demons 0

Oh my goodness. I’m in danger of being a runner.

Week 6 Run 3 is in the bag and I LOVED it.

There were so many demons telling me not to go. The rain. The cold. I couldn’t get to the gym for the treadmill. Last night’s festivities.

But I thought, ‘Sod this. I’ll shuffle if I have to.’

And I put on my running kit and LOVED it (as I said).

All the minuses were pluses. Running outside. Feeling the wind and rain. Waving to fellow lunatics.

Bring on Boxing Day and Week 7.

Thanks John. Still can’t believe I only started this six weeks ago. Can’t wait for Boxing Day when I’m going for a morning trot with my son. Have a great one yourself. 🎄🍷🍾

Nothing like running in the wind and the rain, kind of makes you just laugh 😂. Guess us runners are all just plain and crazily bonkers 😀. Great, isn't it. Welcome to runaholics, happy days. Have a great Christmas 🎄🎉
