‘Ten more’ she said ‘push harder’ she said ‘go deeper’ she bloody said!! I mean really, surely there’s a better way to learn how to run don’t you think!!!
Well if it gets me into the bridesmaid dress, all tight and toned then I suppose it’s the least I can do! Oh – did I mention it’s the bride shouting all these instructions at me!
Now I’m no fatty bum bum by any stretch of the imagination, in fact I happen to think I’m in pretty good shape don’t you know. But when someone wants you to get excited because, to them, ‘you’re clearly at the beginning of your fitness journey so you’ll have a lot to lose’ – is it wrong to feel a tiny bit of disappointment! Ha ha!
Oh I’m alright, and she does have a point – but even though I’m learning to run …I’d still do me LOL and that’s the main thing!
Now all I have to do is buy some ear warmers (yes even though it’s getting warmer!), some sexy tighty running leggings, a timer watch thingy and I think you’ll be hard pushed to spot the difference between me and Zola Budd. Oh, except she didn’t wear shoes so that’ll probably be the give away. Darn it, and there was me thinking I could fool you ;-)
By the way, I was not harmed in any of this exercise, well not in a serious way anyway! And although I had no intention of starting to run, as I’m staying with my running cousin for the next few weeks, in true Emma Stylie, I say to the world – Well why not! Wish me luck peeps!
Welcome to 'emergise' and my blog, 'secret diary of a good girl'. Let me introduce myself, my name is Emma Fairclough and I am a good girl. I am a good girl with a twist.
Dear “Good Girl”,
how did your running experience turn out? Did you get the desired results?
Greetings from Germany,
