Congratulations! You'll get addicted to that feeling - good isn't it?

That is quite an improvement though - great to hear!

Thanks Sally/Rich/Spud!

I'm really not sure what happened there - weird eh?

I was determined to run steadily round once, without slowing down to virtually a walk, and I was so pleased when I managed it. Then I found myself thinking that I'd better check if psychologically I could set off round again, or if I would be better to just find a longer route. So I decided just to run down one side. But weirdly I didn't feel any worse after that than I did at the end of the first lap, so I thought 'just one more side'.....and then suddenly I was running down the last side and could see the carpark!

I even ran up the road to the car, although when I got there, my legs were seriously turning to jelly.

But it's the first time my muscles were knackered before my lungs, so I think that's a big improvement.

My first lap was a minute faster than my previous best time though (although the second one wasn't! )

Going to stop rambling now.....I shouldn't be allowed endorphins..... :cool:

I remember running at school (yes, I can remember that far back) and occasionaly, it would be as though I'd got into a zone. I didnt get out of breath, and felt like I could go on for miles. It happened a few times, but I never knew what I did differently

Its fab snaggles, you have seriously got some endorphines going on there tonight! Watch out Mr Snaggles

Actually today was the first time ever that I might just have understood about the whole endorphines thing

Snaggles

Shall I order you a stannah stairlift? :rotfl: :rotfl:
You wait until tomorrow night or Friday, then you'll have trouble getting up and down, the stiff legs really will have kicked in then! Actually you might find you are absolutely fine

I've got to say one of my proudest achievements must be getting endorphin reporting accepted as the norm.

And long may it continue..... :p
