โ€˜Runningโ€™ an errand ๐Ÿ˜†

โ€ข18 Replies

I had to go shopping for a couple of things for the kids this morning and had the bright idea last night that I could literally run the errand and get my final 5k of the week in whilst I was at it. Listening to the storm all night made me question that decision this morning, but I thought about how chuffed Iโ€™d feel afterwards and just got changed and went. The wind wasnโ€™t that bad, it was cold and lots of debris on the paths from yesterday but nothing too harrowing. Iโ€™m pleased I went!

Thereโ€™s no way that this time last year that Iโ€™d have considered running to the shops! Iโ€™m proud of who Iโ€™ve become ๐Ÿ˜Š (sorry ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Now that is inspiring, what a great idea, in this age of jump in the car for five minutes for a pint of milk to nip to the shops on foot will help save our planet and our bodies

Absolutely Willowandsola! I run past the shops all the time on my routes, so it was a no brainier really. It certainly wonโ€™t be the last time I do it ๐Ÿ˜Š

Iโ€™m now jealous, i donโ€™t pass any shops during running times, Iโ€™m lucky though, but next time i go into the village i will definitely walk and maybe run a bit of it as itโ€™s not that far

Well done. A couple of Mondays ago I passed a supermarket on my warm down walk and realised I had no eggs for breakfast ๐Ÿ˜ง so popped in to get some. Was probably a bit sweaty after m y 10K run, but noone seemed to mind! ๐Ÿ˜

in reply to ForbiddenPlanet

Yeah I donโ€™t think anyone really minds. The people working in the shops probably see all sorts ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's very useful in the summer where you can get some shopping and stick your head in the freezer to cool off . Now that's multi tasking. Happy days ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
