Today I completed my first homework session for week 3 of the ‘Couch to 5km’ running course and was so pleased to manage the 3 minute run bits without stopping. I finished the 30 minute walk/run/walk feeling lighter on my feet and stronger in my head. Looking up at the forest roof I smiled and thanked the beech trees for the oxygen I’d been straining for 10 minutes earlier. I like running in the forest.
