Day 8 - Surprisingly Ok

Just a quickie post.

Finding times for runs is easier than you think if you know you have to do it. I put the dinner on, ran to Hertford North and met Mr EJM at the station and raced him home. He is a mad fool on a scooter. Not a motor-scooter, a scooter scooter. Bless his heart!

Anyway, he slowed down for me and escorted me home. Ah sweet. Poor chap looking all smart in his work clothes with a dumpy sweaty red faced heavy breather plodding alongside him. I may still be dumpy BUT I am out there. Running. Challenging myself and despite the slight knee niggle it feels good. It feels good to push myself. I used to train every day when I was younger. I was a gymnast. I pushed and pushed myself all the time despite aches and pains and sometimes huge fear. I think even in these 8 days I have lit an old flame burning inside me that loves all this. I want to get faster. Run further. Run better. Play netball. Get on my bike. I want to feel fit again. 

So all in all. So far, so good. Head and body are holding up. Just.

Thanks for all the support.
