We are halfway through March already and we are yet to have our running date. It’s that time of the month again to catch up on all things running-related. Shame on me. Let’s not delay anymore, strap on some shoes, and let’s go for a run. It might be short, but sometimes you just need

I kid you not, I wrote out a full blog post combining January and February, only to realise that I had already done one for January. *facepalm* For whatever reason, I thought that I hadn’t written one, which was why I was going to combine the two together. So here is February sans January. Control –

Strap on your running shoes people and let’s go for our monthly running date. There is no denying I feel like a running fraud. There is no denying I feel like a running fraud. The only reason I feel like this is because of how little running I have been doing. Recovering from an injury is
