Love this one too. I began running because I was ashamed of my body and wanted to change it. But actually I’m wanting to take care of it in the same way it takes care of me. Proper deep for a Saturday morning. Once I start ParkRun I’ll be busy I promise 🤣🤪🏃🏻♀️💕
Made me think ....: Love this one too. I began... - Couch to 5K
Made me think ....

Profound! I started this running malarkey in an effort to boost my ongoing weight loss battle but ironically haven’t lost anything (some weeks I actually gained!) but concluded that I needed to focus more on how far I have come, how much fitter I am and how much better I feel than what the scales say. Happy running- whatever the reason!

Bring on the deep Vintage! It's so very true, I started this as a way of improving myself too. But now I'm really enjoying how I feel, and it's in all aspects of my life, I don't want to drink (much) because of how groggy I feel in the morning even after one or two drinks, I drink more water - I feel better for it, I run because I like the way my body and mind feel during and after. If we look after ourselves then our bodies will be able to function so much better and then we feel even better! X
Same, knocking back a glass of wine cos I want to feel brighter for my 5am run. Upped the water intake that definitely makes me feel better. Not lost an ounce but hey ho, have come to realise that will be an incidental benefit further down the line, once I realise that running doesn’t mean I can still be a rascal diet wise 🤷♀️

So true I think I’m on the journey to be kinder to oneself. In the past not appreciated my whole being and now in my 40’s. Looking back I feel guilty how badly I abused it with all the junk I stuffed it with and how self loathing. Believing what others say, so crazy. Since I started my journey I realise the battle is with myself and unless I fix myself mentally I’m never going to reach goal.
I so far had a good week and wish to continue and not sabotage my efforts.
I too love running now x
