I really hate the start of a race when you can hear so many feet hitting the pavement! I need to listen to music to tune it out.Coco (http://got2run4me.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409575404401663375.post-86429156070320294402014-03-02T16:13:28.000+01:002014-03-02T16:13:28.000+01:00This is an interesting post.

They tried to get me to run, but I never could get past the feeling that running was just not right. Not what I should do to myself. Too much noise made by my feet, my breathing. I felt awkward, like a flapping bird, not in a good way. Self concious of every moving part of me and convinced I looked like some big freak. (I am 6ft tall) I did not think I would or ever could run.<br>So, the noise of running is for me tangled up in my perception I could not/should not run. False perception I should say. <br>But, I wanted it! Go figure. <br>I went to my gym at work, and the trainer told me, everyone thinks they look/sound weird. Just get over it. How freeing that was. I am just beginning, am far from silent, but made a break through and started a walk to running program and feel so much better about it.Amienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409575404401663375.post-30215535819238705592014-03-11T07:19:43.000+01:002014-03-11T07:19:43.000+01:00I always love reading about people discovering run...I always love reading about people discovering running!

I can tell when my left leg is struggling (an injury I've been managing >1year). I do feel when I run the smoothest my feet don't just slap down.Half-Crazed Runnerhttp://halfcrazedrunner.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
