Becky's runderful adventures

Do you ever get running envy? You see someone out running and wish you could join in too? This happened to me today, actually it happens quite a lot, but today more so because it was THE LONDON MARATHON! I got back from my steady 5k after seeing a few runners along the seafront with their numbers on doing their own virtual London marathon (I shouted at really loudly to each person as I passed them @GO ON, GOOD LUCK!!) and put on the coverage on the TV and I was GREEEEENNNNNEEEE with envy!  I saw thousands flooding the streets, pounding the pavements and I felt all of the excitement and I wanted to be there soooo bad, so I have entered myself into the ballot for 2022! I had entered for this year and was unsuccessful so here is to try number 2.  I am also going to apply to run for Mind with a charity place which is a cause close to my heart, so fingers crossed either way, in fact I think id rather the charity place because championing mental health is so incredibly important....

 "Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away!" Sing it with me!  Ok, maybe not, but yesterday was a good day. It all clicked, the sun was out, I did one of my favourite runs and enjoyed almost every second of it (the first few seconds of a run are always questionable, why am I doing this? Do I need to do this? Is this natural? Why, why and WHHHHYYYY???!!!!! Life felt calm and clear and I was just so content which is just pure bliss. I am so grateful to be able to run, I am so grateful I discovered running, I am so grateful for giving up and trying again.  Today I couldn't run, well I could if I wanted to get absolutely drowned and I didn't much fancy that, so I will just think about yesterday...
