Pain

After feeling sorry for myself last week and having a run break (due to a couple of hangovers...), I'm getting back into it.

Although my body is punishing me for it and causing me aches and pains I haven't felt in a long time!

Hold on, keep running.

My turn, my turn!

Do you ever get running envy? You see someone out running and wish you could join in too?

Today I learnt that the sound of my heavy breathing and the occasional bird chirping is NOT enough to keep me going on a run. Even a short 5k.  I had nothing to click my fingers to, nothing to sing along with (yes, out loud), No Britney or Rag 'n' bone man (I can be cool...), to pull on my heart strings and push me along.  I run for the emotion, the beat, the cheese, the memories. It is what makes my runs mine.  So from now on, my phone will be fully charged before I set out. I will not make that mistake EVER again.  SILENCE is not golden when running!  In fact, just writing SILENCE is making me want to listen to 'Moulin Rouge: Roxanne.'  If you hear someone wheezing and spu...
