๐ฆThe inimitable ย ย CBDB has challenged us to a very easy way to support our running & it begins with a 5min video session to strengthen our glutes!

My day started with this challenge of standing on one leg ๐คฃ Really!! My balance is way off so I stood beside a ๐ช & wonder of wonders managed to do the exercise in between laughing ๐ at myself! I was grateful for the chair!
Outside wintry weather had come back in overnight with the full moon! ๐ It was bitterly cold & the last thing I felt like was my Friday run. As I slowly & reluctantly headed out the door it felt all wrong! Oh my the inward moaning & outward groaning may have caused any passerby to think I was in pain! I didnโt want to be doing this! As I warmed up and into the run as ever I was glad I had made the effort! Once past those first 10mins that my body needed to adjust it all felt much better.
Why do we do this? As I replied on another forum, it embraces so much of who we are as runners, how one run is never the same as another, how we have to overcome the mind games as well as the physicality of it all! Then come the rewards that keep us doing this amazing sport & make us so passionate about itโฆ the runners high, the sharpened mind, the joy of proving something to ourselves, learning more about running and about ourselves. The afterglow is best of all! I love the reward of sitting with coffee & basking in the fact that the run is done โ
