running machine!! is what I want to be. & that's what all my friends & colleagues believe me to be. They see I run every day, I do intervals & a long run once a week every week. I have completed 3 ultras & 7 marathons. But sometimes I feel like I'm not really a proper runner!!!
I think it's because I don't really know anyone in running circles, I don't chat about my running with anyone. At work I talk about fashion & with friends I talk about life & luv & food & fun but nothing about me on the run. I'll just bore my blog with my fitness fables!
So I ran on the treadmill last night & reached 18.5k's an hour which is pretty fly. But I can't run that fast for long (longer than 30 seconds in fact) & so I feel a little lacking in running confidence.. Like I should try another hobby - hmmm I do love knitting!!
But knitting doesn't keep off the middle age spread. In fact it keeps you warm & goes hand in hand with eating cake! & I don't want to look my age (a young 37 year old) I want to look as hot as when I was 27! & running gives me that slimmer leaner waistline, toned legs & a youthful glow =)
I just need to get a bit better, train a bit harder, run a bit longer & eat a bit lesser, sprint a bit quicker, feed a bit healthier, stretch a bit stronger!!! Right, I'm running out the door. I love that I've got running in my life, even if it's like a secret affair. xox
My ULTRA MARATHON run training, health & fitness diary to inspire & exude amazing energy. Sharing my creative adventures in veganism to power me through the distances. & quoting my spiritual enlightenments along the journey...... With my musings & motivation thrown in the healthy trail mix. Gotta keep righteously running like the wind to be free!!! XOX
