This time we take about the serious subject of "fun". We have decided we want to run and have managed it, but there is nothing to say we can't actually enjoy it. It might come as a surprise to those of us who remember huffing and puffing around grim woods during school "Cross Country" sessions, where we were told to "get back here as fast as possible!", that running can actually be enjoyed! This can be as simple as feeling one is using one's body, taking time to clear one's mind or even - without getting too hippy dippy about it - "commune with nature". There's always something in it for the nerds of us too with gadgets, stats, kit and groups galore to keep you enthused about what all this is doing to your body, mind and possibly soul.
