- It hurts.
- My calves feel like lead.
- I discover more bits which wobble that I hadn’t noticed previously.
- All of a sudden there seems to be very little air.
- And the air that there is feels like travelling through glue.
- Feeling the need to speed up on sight of another human being…and actually being incapable of doing so.
- Attempting to convey a ‘please don’t try and talk to me’ smile at said human beings because there is really not enough breath to spare on chat…or smiling come to that.
- Hills literally get steeper before my very eyes.
- Ten minutes feel like ten hours.
- It shouldn’t be this hard!
I have a hate-hate relationship with running. I hate running and it truly hates me back.
I am going to be spending quite a lot of time hating running this month.
It is a complete bitch when you’re struggling… but once you get to a certain point, it gets better.
I can’t actually say I ‘like’ running, but being fit(ter) is pretty damned groovy.
I am TOTALLY struggling right now. Hope all good with you dude? Any new books for me?
I just don’t have the mental strength to voluntarily put myself through all that. I don’t even run after the bus 😀
oh god i tried running once or maybe twice and well there you go, I don’t run. so good for you for persevering – i have been told it does hurt less and then you get addicted and then you will love it. so good luck x xx
I’m sure you will break through Jenny and in a couple of months you’ll be posting 10 reasons why you love running! Mich x
I’m not a huge runner but I’d love to get more into it x x
I used to love it. I need to find my running mojo again. If I find it, I will send it your way for support x
i cant run because of my lungs but I was always rubbish!
Bleugh, I also hate running. I’ve really tried to like it, but it’s just not in me to enjoy it. Plus, it’s a killer for my knees. But good on you for powering on through.
I also have a hate hate relationship with running! What an amazing thing to do though, go you!! X
Thanks Lucy. It’s horrible so far. Gotta get easier no?
I would like to run but it hurts my back and hips.But if I lost weight my back and hips wouldn’t hurt so much.I did try running before the Comic Relief Danceathon but I was in so much pain, I gave up after 3 weeks. Maybe try jogging then sprint running?
