I'm a runner!!!!

I've been going along to running club now for 3 years, it's a great all inclusive club which is incredibly friendly and one in which I've been able to plod along with and have a good chat at the same time. I've made true friends that have helped me through the past few months and even provided me with a social life.

Despite the fact that I've been doing this for 3 years it has only been in the past few weeks when I've actually thought - I'm a runner! I'm not sure what prompted this thought. It may have been my consistent 10 minute miles, the fact that I've now run 2 marathons (and booked my place for a third) or maybe it's just that even on a horrible wet day I still put my trainers on and run. Who knows when it happened but what I do know is that tonight I ran like a demon!!!

Normally I sit somewhere towards the back of the intermediate group but tonight I was right at the front the whole night and it wasn't until the final hill that I started to fade. I felt strong.

I felt like a runner and you have no idea how happy that makes me.
