From that first raining very wet three mile run the weeks and miles have passed too very quickly. I have fallen in and out love with running so many times. At times Jedi running master has had to force me to run and on one particular occasion he sent me back out of the house when I hadnt run far enough (boo hiss). Other times I have looked forward to clearing my head and listening to my music away from everything that is my daily routine.
Running in the heat is an absolute killer.
There is a poor man out there who thinks I am crazy singing lady.
There is more to this running lark than just popping on a pair of trainers. I love the Jedi running master for imparting his knowledge and experience. Still wanted to kick his Jedi boy bits sometimes for being so flipping right all of the time, well most of the time ;-)
As with most things in life running is all about the putting the work in and just getting on and doing the preparation.
If someone had had told me eighteen months ago that I would have lost weight and have trained and ran the race I have completed today I would have laughed and called for more cake. Its taken a lot of work and a long time to break down a lifetime of negative attitudes I have built about and around myself. I still don't think I am fully there but know I can now recognise behaviours in myself and others that are negative and dont get me where I want be in life.
