A TIMELY REMINDER

I just wanted to put a big thank you out to Sam Murphy for her article in this month’s issue (October) of Runner’s World. I’ve found myself constantly in the doldrums when I take a break from running, but this article reassured me that this is perfectly acceptable and a common thing to do among the elite and experienced. I will definitely be now giving myself a break when I feel the doubt in my side of not running for long periods, which can be more painful than that midrun stitch!
