Well, I am excited! I have 3 different runs now where I have been able to run between 8-10km easily and talk the WHOLE way!! Instead of huffing and puffing and struggling to breath... LOL..
I have not been pushing the pace at all -- but I have been enjoying being able to enjoy running!! Running has ALWAYS been such hard work - I remember Anne and I commenting to each other and wondering when it gets easier... Well, IT'S EASIER!! WOO!!
I actually had a "zoning out" moment a couple of weeks ago!! Have you ever been driving anywhere and kind of zoned out and then realised you were almost home... But you don't actually remember driving all the way, and hoping you managed to stop at all the right spots etc... Well, I had one of those moments RUNNING!! How funny is that! That has never happened to me before. I am usually ALWAYS aware of how hard it is and how much further to go!! Bahahaha.... I am Excited -- because it really is much more enjoyable than counting landmarks!! LOL.
Starting to build up the distance now... Will be at 15km in a months time!! Right on track for the half marathon in July. Tossing up whether to do the Gold Coast one or the one in Melbourne
Isn't it great when you get to that level! I love being able to run and talk - takes a lot of the pain out of it all. So proud of you mate.
