So with a BMI of 35 I didn’t think I would ever find this easy or particularly enjoyable. My motivation is to make a change to my life and conquer something I find challenging. The last few runs I have done have been hard, legs tired and unable to get my breath. I was starting to feel like this wasn’t for me but with only 5 runs till graduation I didn’t want to give up.
Last night was the first clear and not hugely windy day we’ve had for a while so I thought I would go for it. No pressure just a get out and see what happens. Well it was the best run ever. I am not speedy but for the first time ever I didn’t feel out of breath for the whole run, even including the slight inclines. When Michael said with 5 minutes to go you should be feeling tired I wasn’t feeling too bad! Maybe I could pick up the speed? So I did and finished with a sprint.
Sorry for the lengthy post but really wanted to say that there is light at the end of the tunnel and to those who are finding it challenging keep going!
