So, I graduated last August and despite running 3 times a week , 5 to 7k each time, I am still finding it tough - would not say I'm addicted yet! Today I thought I'd do a 5K , a mixture of quiet roads and woods. I was puffed as I came towards the end and was contemplating walking when my music changed to 'Flames ' by Sia Furler and David Guetta. The lyrics are as follows-
'One foot in front of the other babe
One breath leads to another yeah
Just keep moving, oh
Look within for the strength today
Listen out for the voice to say
Just keep moving, oh
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out, but don't stop moving
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out, you can do this
So my love, keep on running
You gotta get through today, yeah
There my love, keep on running'
I couldn't believe it, not only did I complete my run, I had a smile on my face and when I checked I had actually run 6.5K. Next time you are flagging- play Flames and see if it has the same effect on you!
Happy running everyone.
