I'm Gonna Run To You

I was actually smiling the whole time - even when I had a stitch.

I'd bought my first running shoes, and as soon as I got home I was off into the cold Berlin lunchtime. Through the neighbourhood graveyard and into the enormous Friedrichshein People's Park - where mums and babies, teenage stunt-cyclists and fellow runners dotted the open park. I ran up the hill, did squats (yes, in public - i have no shame) and 45 minutes later, I was still loving it. The Team America soundtrack had a lot to do with my smile, I have to admit.

I'd followed videojug's advice on not going too fast - steady burns more calories you know!

I'm moving at Berlin's pace now, and I like it.
