So yesterday something unexpected happened. A work colleague (who I might add ran the London marathon last year) invited me to join the running group at work. Apparently he’s seen my runs on Strava and thinks I’ll fit in fine. My first run with them will be Monday, we’ll see how it goes and how far they leave me behind 😂🙈 I’ve never run with a group before so it will be another first along this journey I’m on . . .

Yes the thought of running with “proper runners” is quite daunting, but I am looking forward to it!

Runners are such lovely friendly folks 🙂 I’m sure you’ll love it.

It is a breath of fresh air having spent a lot of my younger days in the equestrian community which can often (not always) be the opposite!
