First run as a grandma

Yesterday I drove for 8hrs on the water logged motorways so that I could get up North for the birth of my grandson.

This morning I got into my running gear and headed out for my first run as a grandma, did my 5km run to complete week 1. It took me 35mins at a steady pace due to being terrified of slipping on the fallen leaves, my feet were soggy by I got home but I felt amazing :)

Going for cuddles soon and aim to do my first run of week 2 on Sunday.

Congratulations! Another reason to keep running - keeps you fit to run after him. I’m very fit - I run after 6!!

That's lovely tiggs, congrats on becoming a Grandma...bet that was a proper smily run knowing it'd soon be followed by baby cuddles.

Well done on the drive by the way, sounds exhausting!
