Burying excuses and overcoming fears. Searching for a healthiest possible version

Today I ran 7 miles. It wasn’t my best time, but I felt the pinch from doing 10 miles yesterday.

I have started to find mindfulness with my running though which hadn’t been there before. There were long periods of time during this run when I realised that I had been thinking about nothing and then snapping back into being aware. It was really lovely.

The more I do, I know the more I will feel this. Running is so addictive and magical.

I wish I had started this at an earlier age, but I can’t live with regrets as I can only move forward! Regretting things has been a specialism of mine in the past and to overcome the fears in my life I have to keep working on how I can make progress for myself.

Yesterday I set myself a challenge of running 7 miles over 16 times in January to find an overall target of 112 miles.

Today I ran 10 miles. I thought I would test how much further I could go. I haven’t ran this much in 11 years.

What seemed impossible 10 months ago now is this filled with so much potential. I understand limitations and I’m not about to climb Everest, but I see more than ever that limitations need to be shoved around a bit else they become cages that confine us.

Also it’s nice to have a bit in the reserve tank for my tally.
