I'm running 5k every week at the moment, last week at Parkrun it all felt great and I set a new PB. This week my asthma was bugging me, it felt really hard work, and I didn't think I'd get round. I did in the end, but I feel that just in a 5k. I'm not sure I'll go for 10 miles, but I have an idea of what you mean.Charlotte Cantillon (Crowley)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11920677643812511895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983134633776267277.post-55563654920146709582014-02-01T20:07:13.731+00:002014-02-01T20:07:13.731+00:00I really enjoyed reading this.

I always tell my boyfriend that about 2 out of 3 of my runs are total crap, but that third run and the feeling of accomplishment always makes up for it. It's totally amazing that you did 10 miles, nothing is every easy or perfect at first! You're truly inspiring!!Charlotte Cantillon (Crowley)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11920677643812511895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983134633776267277.post-89262075744585069792014-02-01T20:02:53.500+00:002014-02-01T20:02:53.500+00:00I'm sorry that you are having a hard time with...I'm sorry that you are having a hard time with running. I know it's not always easy. I used to run myself, and never really got further than one ten-mile run. Like you, I found that running 10 miles is not as simple as just running one mile more. There are blisters, bladders and stitches to contend with, and it all becomes a pretty de-motivating experience. But I have to say, that giving up running is one of my main regrets. I have never felt healthier than when I ran regularly, and I really miss the sense of accomplishment that you get when you finish a run waaay before anyone else has done anything productive in their day. Every year I tell myself I will start running again; and every year I think of a thousand new excuses not to get out there. I really admire you for having the determination to keep going, and want to add that you are an inspiration to me - after discovering your blog I hunted down my ancient running shoes, and now I'm actually excited to get out there again!<br />I guess I'm trying to say that I can understand why you feel a little disappointed, but there is no bigger disappointment than giving up. Keep going, you can do it!Charlotte Cantillon (Crowley)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11920677643812511895noreply@blogger.com
