W4r1 daylight and specs.

I went for it this morning. The sky was blue and the air crisp and there was no excuse. I've had a very, very over indulgent weekend and I knew I had to make amends otherwise I'd be back to my couch alter ego. Was dreading it. I made a pact with myself that if I was struggling I could retire and console myself that it's not for everyone. But! I loved it. The 3 minute run seemed natural and the 5 minute runs weren't a dawdle butI was almost disappointed when time was called. I a very, very slow though.

On my cool down walk I was beaming at everyone I passed - felt like Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life after his encounter with Clarence.

Its such a lovely feeling when you've finished. When I am not 'feeling the love' pre run I try hard to remember that at the end it will feel lovely! :-) well done

It's runs like this that keep you going, isn't it? Well done and best wishes for the next run! :)

Thank you! I'm slowly coming out to friends and family I'm doing this. Love the way I feel after it.
