Tentatively waves....

Hello folks! Bit of a long pause as I seem to have had one chest infection after another since December and I am paying v expensive gym membership but really don’t like running on a treadmill BUT today it was light and sunny and No1 son was visiting and is on week 5 of the C25K and I said come running with me to the park..and he did and we did and I’m still the slowest person on the planet but I can run for 30 mins and it’s bloomin marvellous!! Might sack the gym!!

Hi Mandi! 👋 Great you’re back. I hope you can get back up and running regularly now you’re better. 🏃‍♀️🤞😀

I too belong to rather a pricey gym and thought I’d use it much more than I did this winter. I guess I could use more than just the treadmill ..... but I’d rather be out running! Also the treadmill is so very dull and hot. 🥵

Nice that you got to run with your son in this beautiful weather. 🏃‍♀️☀️🏃‍♂️

Well done in getting back out there 😁. I agree that you can’t beat getting outside for a run. The lighter and warmer days are on their way - happy running

[MandiV in reply to Shakywakey]

Thanks and to all of you

That's great to hear MandiV, and sounds like a great run.

I started running to avoid joining a new gym when I moved and I've run outside all through the winter with a bit of strength training at home

Glad you’re on the mend Mandi. Lovely day to run with your son. I agree about the treadmill- really don’t like it at all so let’s hope this lovely weather continues 😊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Slow or not you’re out there and running so something to celebrate 🎉

Yay well done 👍🏻 glad you are feeling better ... and I bet you’re not the slowest person on the planet 😊😊

Well done Mandi! I agree - who wants to be in the gym on a day like this!
