Running Bug

[RunningHappy]

I read on here about people getting a bit addicted to running and I thought, as they predicted "that will never be me". Maybe it will change as I am only on week 2 but I am actually feeling sad that I can't run tomorrow (!!) as it is my rest day and I know I should be sensible and rest.

But how mad is that, I want to get up and run!!!!

Not mad.. great.. and there is so much to do on rest days... walk, swim, cycle... garden... climb... Pilates... Yoga

Definitely! I am planning to take the dogs for a long walk!!

Uh-oh! Sounds like another “victim”🤣🤣🤣

If you think about all the things in this world you could be addicted to - this has gotta be the best!

Well done you on making such a positive step for your physical and mental health 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Thank you! Can't believe how much my attitude has changed in just a week, hoping it sticks!! It definitely is the best addiction!!

Same here! Achilles hurting today so resting instead of running and feeling quite frustrated! I had never even run for a bus before I started this programme! 🤣

[RunningHappy in reply to oldwheezer69]

[oldwheezer69 Graduate in reply to RunningHappy]

😂 got you hook line and sinker, I come home from work like Churchill the nodding dog then all of a sudden, I’m out running 4 and half miles 😂😂 it’s crazy 😝

[RunningHappy in reply to Ajs07]

Haha, I hope to be like that one day!! I need to find some good running routes from home for when I start getting up those sorts of distances!! That is the dream...

[Ajs07 Graduate in reply to RunningHappy]

I’m sure you will get there, just trust in the c25k program, follow it to the letter. I graduated in December and can now do 8 and half miles!! I never ever thought I would be able to do that, good luck in your new and amazing journey xx

[RunningHappy in reply to Ajs07]

Yay that gives me so much hope! I certainly am following it, including the rest days when I don't want them! Running every other day. xx
