Endurance

Like everyone else last year, I downloaded that Couch to 5k app and strapped on old trainers. Those first few weeks, I doubted whether I could really run for 90 seconds but I slogged on through. Last week, I did a 10-mile run just because I knew I could. Now I run because it brings joy into my heart, because it soothes me when I feel blue, and because it makes me feel strong and competent. Lockdown might not have brought me romantic love, but it sure as hell brought me an enduring love.
