Starting to Enjoy

[Karambah]

Never believed that I would write these words. But 'tis true. Started running school in Jan and decided to continue plodding after completing C25K. The April consolidation running working and 'cements' the rhythm - at least for me. Its still hard, but becoming more rewarding. Today conditions were 'right'. Felt strong, weather overcast, cool, some drizzle, not many folk out. Ran my first +7km in just over an hour (yes I'm slowww). Was my first +60 minutes plod. The surprise was that at the end I felt good to continue, but decided no - that's for another day. On return, wife asked if I ran 5k in 16 mins like the schoolgirl. Told her and she said 'buy young girl runs 3 times faster than you'. Yes I said, but at the end I'm 3 times more tired than her

Onward we go ...

You should have told your wife that you did run that 5K in 16 minutes like that 12 years old girl from Belfast, I am not sure she would have believed you.

Finding your own comfortable pace is a major step and comparison with anyone else is futile and unproductive.

Sounds to me like you are a happy runner.

Keep running, keep smiling.
