I've reached the stage where I can run without thinking about running!

I think it's four years ago since I last felt it; running without thinking about how exhausting it is, how I feel a pain in my shin or knees, how I rather want to walk and I have to convince myself to run towards another tree or rock I see along the way...

During today's run my thoughts were drifting away, almost like I was daydreaming. It was such a pleasure, and in the middle of it I suddenly realized that I was running without thinking about running, I was in a flow and enjoying it! I was also thinking that I could run forever (but that stopped as soon as I started to run uphill).

I wasn't running fast, but I was running continuously, and I love how I can track my progress on Strava. Now my goal is to run a bit faster every time.

Here are some photos from my running path.

As you can see I'm running pretty slow, but my goal is to run 5/km by the end of summer. A little elevation included in my run:

Now I'm actually looking forward to my next run. I love this feeling...

Thanks for reading !
