Hiya Alan, its been a couple of tough months for me but not as hard as a lot of people have gone through and still are so I feel lucky to be back and part of this team again. Look forward to running with you. ๐Ÿ‘

It's coming up to 8 am where I am in the UK, this morning I will be going a walk around Drumpellier Country Park where I run one of the parkruns I do, I notice on that COGH app or email there is a choice of walking or running, for the moment I will put in the distance I walk, hopefully soon I'll put in the running as well, enjoy the rest of your day, today in the first day of Spring in the UK, first day of Autumn in New Zealand.

Enjoy your walk Alan, hopefully youโ€™ll be able to run COGH soon. It was a lovely 23 degrees here today, summer seems to have just got started here in Wellington (normal) and its already Autumn. I do love Spring.

AlMorr you can log a walk and a run with a single entry on the same day - I tried it during testing.

AlMorr profile image
AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue

I will do it that way, my first entry today is a 7K walk.

Yay Lexi! Iโ€™ll be on my way this morning. I spend almost as long updating the mileage totals on my various challenges than I do running or walking! ๐Ÿคฃ

Scruff5560minGraduate in reply to lexi6

Thanks I will. Yes Iโ€™ll need to log walks as otherwise wonโ€™t get to 5 k. Which is minimum login I think.

You look well wrapped up there lexi! Itโ€™s been glorious here on the south coast, really spring like. Iโ€™m doing my COGH challenge as a walk as Iโ€™m still attached to the IC, so Iโ€™ll total my Kms up and submit them at the end of the week. Enjoy your runs!

lexi6 profile image
lexi6Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns

Hello OGR sorry youโ€™re on the IC, hope youโ€™re on the mend. Iโ€™m so glad we can walk this challenge too, its going to be so much fun. Great idea totalling and saving your kโ€™s up till the end of the week. Keep warm out there its icy!

OldgirlrunsGraduate10 in reply to lexi6

Totalling up my runs makes it sound better when Iโ€™m up against all these super runners who seem to run miles every day! Not that itโ€™s a competition of course!!
