WHAT'S THE USE OF TRYING? ALL I GET IS PAIN. WHEN I NEEDED SUNSHINE, I GOT RAIN......

Beautiful bright day today. New week so I figured I needed something new to listen to. No more podcast. I needed something up lifting to keep me going. Punched out a new playlist on Spotify and a few suggestions I'd forgotten about - the wonder of Spotify! Started off really well with Simon & Garfunkel which saw off 5 minutes, no problem. I felt good, and lengthened my stride. I wondered if perhaps I was going to peak too early but felt so good I sang along to a song I hadn't heard for a while (only a few words at a time - let's not pretend I wasn't huffing and puffing). I was at last feeling like I could run and that it wasn't purgatory πŸ˜‚ I was actually enjoying it and feeling great. Roll on W7R2 - I'm a Believer!

For those of you who saw one of my previous posts - this is what it really looks like!

Photo is stunning. Sounds like a really happy run for you today. Be careful of lengthening your stride too much in car you cause an injury. Well done you 😊😊

Not sure about my stride but I just didn't feel as though I was using my whole leg - just from the knee downward. ??

What beautiful scenery you have. Fab pic 😊

Wow what a view.

Isnt it such a good feeling when you start to enjoy it! It's like a double bonus.

You're doing great, keep at it.

Yes, I was wondering when that feeling would come. I've been on the I C for nearly a year so it's been tough getting back to this point. It does always help when the sun is shining though. Hopefully it'll be all downhill from now on in!πŸ˜‚
