Really enjoyed reading your story, Raziq; particularly the "seven lagers" and "wanting to stay married" anecdotes! Thanks.

A totally fun read! And I love the idea of switching out the 7 lagers on a Tuesday with training goals....(Been there myself--well, not lagers, exactly.) But it's a much better option all the way round.

I do still enjoy the idea of seven lagers on a Tuesday afternoon, but it's just not very practical 😂

Great story. I can really relate to this. My wife and I just want to stay healthy enough to continue running as we approach our mid Sixties

Running as solace and quiet time to unravel thoughts. That’s the magic of it.
