Set it off...

Its been a while since I have put my Flyknits on with a serious mission in mind, the past couple of months my runs have been few and far between but since graduating I knew that I needed to get back to it. It was actually this time last year when I started running, I remember saying to my pal Craig ''Oh I want to be a running kinda playa'' to which he replied ''do it then''. I always think about that now in all contexts of life. And I can also remember how happy I felt when I did my first 10k, it was the weirdest feeling, seeing those kilometres rack up is seriously addictive. So I woke up this morning about 6am and thought ''Yeah just do it'' however the gym didn't open till 10 so I had to wait a couple hours but whipped up a motivational playlist and left the house feeling determined that even after 2 months 5k was gonna be fine.


It wasn't the best time in the world nor was it the best paced run but it was a run, at about 0.67k I thought ''ah what were you worried about''...at 3.65k I thought ''Shit you've been out the game'' but I finished on 5.4k and left feeling pretty happy about life. In fact I treated my pal Liz to a sweaty Facetime on my way home to which she said I looked VERY red and about 11, thats the only thing about the gym... no red lipstick, I feel naked!


So were back to a monthly target game and the score stands at 5/100k, its gonna be another long journey to get back to the 10ks I was whacking out before but its do able fo sure. 

Todays playlist was a mixture, I put Girl Talk- Feed The Animals on there as well as a few of my motivational songs so here enjoy this one, imagine me red faced, candy floss hair swinging about, nearly dying but still trying to be a G.
