I started this playlist a few months ago (beginning of February) after I’d just ran my longest run to date (3 miles). I remember being thrilled that I had run that distance. I felt like I was starting to become a runner.
That was February. It’s coming up on the end of April. In less than a week, I’m running a half marathon. I’m going to run it slowly (I’m a bit of a turtle), but I will run it.
Because I’m a runner.

I run/walk at this stage – but I do it to podcasts. I listen to programmes from bbc radio. Will steal some of your ideas for a music playlist for when I feel the need for one. Tx
Keep running. Soon you’ll be a marathoner. 🙂
I’m so excited! I love getting running song ideas from people, I’ll have to look some of these up and see if they fit with MY turtle pace!
