I’m having (another) big push to run more (regularly and further). The hope is to run roughly every other day and to try to get up to the point where I can easily complete 5 miles. For someone who always hated running this is a big deal, but I am interested with the idea that some people come to running later in life and then suddenly discover that they can run and run and run and I wonder whether that could be me or whether I will always find running difficult and a bit of a chore. It also seems to me that if you don’t deliberately set out to become more than “everyday fit” you inevitably end up less than “everyday fit”. At the moment I run 3 miles reasonably comfortably (although I went beyond this today) but it is worth noting that I have also been walking ~2 miles to and from work each day since the middle of September (so ~4 miles per working day in total) which has certainly done me a lot of good.
Anyway, to help with all of this I have reinstated my “Run O’Hare Run” page which can be viewed via the link over to the right.
