Work give you a day off on your birthday.

I had on my to do list, long run. Tail end of Gareth put paid to that. Managed 4k as I was running up and down the church drive, it was sheltered. Not right to be trotting past funeral party.

My offspring clubbed together to buy me AfterShokz. I will be running in the morning, to try them. Loving Hall and Oates you make my dreams ( come true)

I did put in the request for the gift.

I had my own silent disco in the kitchen after a few glasses of wine. I could not fit in a run this morning. I opened my emails and rather wished I had not taken the day off so came in early.

There is always weekend

Indeed, enjoy the weekend run. 👍

Silent disco. My kind of party! 🥳 🎉 I’m forever singing to myself and/or dancing. My family think I’m nuts. They have a point. 🙄

Happy birthday to you! What nice bosses to give you the day off :)

I had the aftershokz for Christmas, they are awesome.

Work expect a great deal of me, it is a good policy but I now have to catch up. I had a great day yesterday though

I am loving those headphones.

Thank you. I actually have no idea how I came to be 59. About 10mins ago I was 21. And in my head probably always will be.

Thank you. Run is being deferred till later. Storm Hannah is here . Running while very wet is not doing my knees much good. Must be my age.

Happy birthday 🍾🎂🎁🎉

I was planning to get some aftershokz today, I'm just not sure how they will feel under a hat, plus a head torch.....

Runningroni profile image
RunningroniGraduate10 in reply to Jell6

I think you will be fine. The bit at the back sits low towards your neck not snug to the back of your head and the speakers in my case level with the ear canal. My head torch is now in the draw, as it is light enough in the morning now.

Unfortunately I have not had chance to take them out for a run. I ran through Freya and Gareth, but now Hannah is here for the day. Running whilst soaked has made my knees ache, that has not happened since early days of C25k

I really like them btw. The headphones not storms.

Oh thank you for telling me this. I have tried various headphones, but they all have some issues. Or perhaps that's me🤣🤣

I had to have the silicon blob off the end of ear phones removed from my ear as a result of ramming it in my ear to ensure it stayed in place. I was not repeating that experience.

Happy shopping.

How awful! 😬

Ok I will be shopping later, going to get them from Costco, at least they have a great returns policy if they don't work out😊
