Today I turned 47 and I celebrated by going for an early morning 10km run. I know how to treat myself, right? π And to prove there is life after 40, I got a personal best, to boot!
Gifts included new Runderwear (yay!) and books on running. Obsessed, moi?! Dinner with my laddie tonight.
Love,

Yey!! What a birthday treat your runderful legs have given you?! Thatβs fab news.....a very big happy birthday today my lovely friend...if I were closer to you I wouldβve loved to share your birthday run with you...maybe some day!! Enjoy your PB glow & dinner tonight xxx
πππ Thank you darling, Bev! Hard work does pay off, and my wee leggies did me proud today. I really enjoyed it, even though I still find the 10km distance hard! I would love to run and chat with you one day! xxx
Happy birthday me dear! xx Hope you have a wonderful day and that it's not bucketing it down like it is here! Sounds like you got a pair of go-go-gadget-robot legs for your birthday too! And a PB - what a fantastic pressie to yourself xxx
Thank you FPF! It is bucketing down here too, but I donβt care! It was lovely first thing on my run, and thatβs the main thing. π I donβt know about go-go-gadget legs...they still feel like they are going to fall off at the end of my 10ks π. Thank you for your kind wishes. xxx
You young people are amazing with your parties, birthdays (happy birthday btw, mineβs in a few days) and running in da rain. (Iβve just completed the wet one in Dulwich Park, great fun). Have a good one!
Thanks mrrun. π But young?! Mind you, I am in far better shape at 47 than I was at 27...I was a smoker and a drinker and exercise adverse then. Sigh. But it was fun. Happy birthday to you for when the time comes, fellow Virgo!
Happy birthday fellow Fiend-In-Crime So glad you had a great run, and what a way to celebrate, with a PB too and some new running stuff. Really pleased for you xxx
btw that's an amazing time for a 10k, so proud of you!!
Fiend-in-crime?! πππ Love it! Thank you for your kind words, best running buddy! I was so pleased with this run, especially as I am officially over-the-hills and far-far-away now! π xxx
happy birthday lovely Sadie! Love the brace of running gifts, including the pb - you have a gift in running indeed! Looking forward to the next year of running and great health!
Iβll be honest, I have been celebrating my runniversary for a couple of weeks now, as I cannot quite remember when I started C25K! π
So happy you are back out and running, Oldfloss. You cheered me on and gave me invaluable advice when I first started out, and for that I will forever be grateful. xxx
Well I turn 63 in November so you are a youngster to me! I must check out the runderwear though - havenβt had any problems in that department but must have all available kit possible! ππ
