Back in time

When I was a lad I used to run to the local shops on errands for my mum and dad.

55 years later I’m visiting my old dad in the selfsame house and, saddo that I am, brought my running kit.

He asked me to run him an errand which I did literally. That long distance is barely a mile all told and the two steep hills just hillocks. But I bet I was quicker when I was eight!

I’ll keep my kit on in case he needs something else.

Aw that is so sweet. I have an image of you in short trousers now tearing up the hills 🙂

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

In running shorts now but a wider size! ↔️

Aww how nice to remember and yes keep your kit on in case you need an excuse to run. Not that you do 😊

That’s so lovely! ❤️ I remember I used to cycle to town with my friend. It was such a looooong way - 2 miles! 😅

Haha great way to run an errand, maybe you should let the neighbours know as well just in case they also have some!

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

You’re right. Running with two full shopping bags will be the trendy new exercise.

[Couchpotato2 in reply to HeavyFoot]

Exactly, you do arm work as well!

Love this SO MUCH

When I was a child we live round the corner for the shops, with a bus stop in between, I used to race the buses to the corner 👍
