About running and learning German
I usually try to run at least 1 hour every other day, but last week my feet were recovering from an injury, so I just walked 1 hour every day instead (it sucked).
I started running about 2 and a half months ago. I still remember how much I hated running at the beginning. It was so hard, I wanted to stop after the first step, and I never felt like doing it. To be honest, nothing ever changed. I still hate running (during the period I'm running), it still hard, it's demanding and I never feel like doing it.
The good part about running is that I face a huge challenge right at the beginning of my day, so everything else that I have to do throughout the day feels way easier. I feel more focused, proactive and diligent. Looking at my progression makes me feel great; I could barely run 2 min non-stop. Now I can run between 9 to 10 km non-stop consistently. It motivates me to stay on the grind in other areas of my life, like learning German.
My German is terrible. I can only understand A1 and A2 texts; If a native starts to speak just a bit too fast, I can't understand a single word; My writing sucks; It feels like I'll never be capable of pronouncing /ʁ/ and /ç/. Still, I think that if I keep practicing, my German will get way better as time goes by. Running did not only change my body, but it changed my mindset too. That's why I can't wait to run again tomorrow.

Progression doesn't exactly work here. Progress describes the change in state more accurately.

Great Job!
I usually try to run at least 1 hour every other day, but last week my feet were recovering from an injury, so I just walked 1an hour every day instead (it sucked).
When you talk about a singular object(like an hour) you usually just denote it with the indefinite article (a or an).
I still hate running (during the periodwhile I'm running), it still hard, it's physically demanding and I never feel like doing it.
Instead of writing "during the period" you can just say "while". It may seem a bit basic but in most cases it'll do you just fine. Also, when you say "it's demanding" it implies that you're using the verb "to demand" in a sentence like "it's demanding another treat". If you want to use "demanding" in your context it'd look better if you add a descriptor like "physically" demanding.

I still hate running (during the periodwhile I'm running), it still hard, it's physically demanding and I never feel like doing it.
Thank you very much for clarifying. While writing this text I asked myself if it would sound like "I hate running (while still doing it everyday)". Now I'm sure it doesn't.

Good job :)
I'll be doing a pre-dawn commute of ~ 1.5 hours of running tomorrow, too. And I LOVE running, the motion, to me, is liberating. :)

"I'll be doing a pre-dawn commute of ~ 1.5 hours of running tomorrow"
That's great = )
Good look in your commute. Agreed, running makes us feel so good. I love it.

Heh. Thanks, didn't happen, though. I was so focused on the gnarly roots and slippery muck that I didn't see a low hanging branch :D Whacked my head pretty good and fell down the bank. Got away with a bit of a headache and just a scratched & cut leg and nicely bleeding left hand ... :D

That's really unluck. I hope you'll feel better soon.
