🍏The Simplicity of running

[Annieapple]

🍏Out the door and into a 5K slow run! How simple is that.….. the weather is awesome for running today, no wind or rain, no sun in my eyes…just a cool breeze on my cheeks. Oh how grateful I am for the simplicity of running! No equipment needed beside my trainers, the coach in my ear, and the will to do it! Oh yes I want to do it…this slow paced rhythm of my body moving forward , enjoying being stretched a little, loving being challenged… the time to think and ease my mind for a little while…so much beauty around me to imbibe and enjoy…. running slowly enough to be able to smile at those I pass by… slow enough to get the run done… it’s over… but there’s a little bit more … the grateful feeling of accomplishment…the feel good factor the post run feeling always brings. Oh yes the simplicity of a run works for me!

😊😊😊😊 mmmhhhh 😊😊😊😊

Nice!

(Of course, I myself often then make it more complex by adding something or another, perhaps a Runkeeper voice , a Spotify music, a coach, a microphone, a specific plan, a challenge, a theme, a technique, a quest and various other techs and apps, as my desire tells me! 🤣🤣🤣

But in the end, it is as simple as putting one foot in front of the other!

Love it!

🍏🤣Oh yes we all add on those extras but the run itself is what’s so simple! We are SO fortunate!!

Love this! It’s one of my life mantras, less is more! And keep things simple! I’m aiming to restart c25k on Monday…whoop!

I want simplicity!! I'm trying so hard to achieve it.

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate]

Me too! Not as easy as it sounds but so worthwhile pursing!

What a lovely description and so accurate! I recognise all that and the happy feels and the warmth! I'm sure my body is coping so much better with winter because of running! The cold really doesn't bother me anymore and I rarely need to have the heating on.

🍏🤗 So good to hear! Yes running brings us many surprises and you are so right about warming us up. It does wonders for our circulation. I love the feeling of that cold air on my face as I start my run. It makes me feel alert & ready to go! Thanks for posting & hope you have a good day!
