Well after a difficult Great North Run which I have stowed away in the back of my mind, it took a while to get my running mojo back. The recovery started, however, three weeks ago at the, once again, wet and windy Great South Run. Despite the elements I had an awesome run, mainly due to the fact that it was reminder of THAT feeling of crossing the line on your first race. I ran with my colleague and friend Adam - it was his first race and he loved it. Getting him round in 1.23 even if it was 8 mins slower than my time last year gave me such a high. The look on his face as he crossed the line was definitaly enough to get me happy about running again!
And..the motivation has increased following the discovery of the wonders of Nike+. I don't know whether it's the music or the fact my runs are being tracked somewhere that's doing it (probably both!) but I have this new-found sense of purpose and drive to hit the streets. So all i can say is watch out Team Lucozade Sport - I have entered our TLS challenge on Nike+ and am swallowing up the miles as of this week! Beware, the Mustang is back!
