Don't run before you can walk?

So yesterday I ran 6k before breakfast and then went for a great walk up onto the South Downs along the ridge and down again, with my husband, who isn't a runner but wanted some exercise - another 11k. So definitely feeling smug that I can do both without feeling tired, well, only a bit!

Well done. That was plenty of exercise. Lovely pic.

Thank you. The South Downs are lovely.

It is good to feel fit, isn't it? Running and walking on one day, brilliant!

What a fantastic view! Well done - I bet your step count was immense!

I had a similar conversation (note being able to talk) while walking up a steep Devon hill about how much fitter I am now that I've been running for 6 months - it's good isn't it!

Yes, the hilly slopes felt a lot easier than before I took up running and I can control my breathing better. Felt a bit sorry for O. H. who was panting and slow on the uphill bits!
