Just to make you smile !

Last Sunday, I, like many of us, did a Virtual Runner, 5K charity run for Remembrance Sunday . Mr OF did it too... he was going to walk it, ( walker not a runner). I registered us both in my name!

However, prior to the run, his knee was playing up ( climbing injury)... so, he completed the 'run' on our cross trainer. I ran it outside:) Cold and with hills!

He......is currently Number 1 on Virtual Runner results..( under my name)... 18 minutes 54 seconds! I... am number 150..... 39 minutes... ( hills) !

He is quite???? smug about this... I am not so thrilled!

" I have done the 5K... can't I have a badge? You are an administrator now... you could give me one...?"

Revenge is sweet... :)

" No... sorry... you have to have completed the full nine weeks of the C25K programme, RUNNING, before you can ask for your Graduation badge ."

I love him... but.... rules are rules .

Thank goodness!!! :)

Honestly.. when we checked the results..he was over the moon! But all in good fun and all for a cause to help other folk who maybe, are not having the fun we are.

He did well... he walks every day, and has been building his distance back up..but is waiting to have an MRI scan on the knee. He had one resistance level on and did work hard!

He is very excited about the Bling!!

Running once for 18 minutes does not meet the graduation requirement of three runs of 30 minutes. :-)
