Patience is the key

Not a great deal of running being done this week. 'Reading Flu' has taken it's toll, feeling much better today but not enough to put on the 'running tights' and get out there, just managing to do the 'have to' things, what a shame the majority of the 'have to' things are the things I least enjoy.

I have done a lot of reading and I'm working on a training programme for the half marathon in November which at least makes me feel as though I'm doing something in the right direction. I do think that I was possibly trying to increase my distance far too quickly. I'm going to work on hours and minutes of running not miles for a while and add minutes more slowly and see how I get along.

The book is fascinating, I guess it's written from a place where John Bingham has found the joy and I'm still searching which is what makes me question bits of it but there is so much that I identify with, even some of the chapters have similar titles to some of my blogs, the fact that I have felt and been through so much that is the same makes me believe that the outcome should be the same too - I should eventually find the same joy as well if I keep at it. One day, maybe soon, maybe later, it will come and every time I go out I'll be a bit closer to finding it.
