I remember being inspired by Liz McColgan and straight away thought that I too was going to be a distance runner; well that was until I went out to run and felt like I was going to die after 10 minutes! How did they do it!
To me the message of #celebrateyou is one that I 100% fully support and really, REALLY want to embrace. But as we all know it’s probably a lot harder than it seems, I know all of us women are AWESOME, our bodies are AMAZING and I am inspired by so many of you, who daily do fabulous things. Would I have ran in my pants 5 years ago, pre my two babies, three stone lighter, stretch mark free and with a lot less cellulite ironically no!
I’ve been trying to get back into running for so long and realised that my biggest hurdle to do so was me holding on to the past. I kept putting off going as I knew it would be an unwanted realisation of how unfit I am now, compared to then.
