Today is National Running Day - which I guess is a day to celebrate and embrace what makes running great! To be honest I am not sure we really need a specific day for this, as if you are like me, you spend virtually every day of the year thinking, talking and appreciating running. So I am using today as an excuse to make it even more acceptable!
When I saw that June 3rd was National Running Day it actually made me reflect on how far I have come in the last few years of truly being a 'runner'. This photo shows me post race in 2013 after my first ever running event, the Lincoln 10k. Fast forward to this year and I am proudly sporting my London Marathon finishers medal, my first ever marathon under my belt. Other than the noticeable increase in distance I have achieved in this time and the fact I have become a lot more addicted/obsessed with running, I have also become a lot more sensible and knowledgeable in how to train and respect my body (a fact even my friend has verified as being true!) So Happy National Running Day everyone... I hope the year ahead brings many more achievements, memories and happiness.
