Short and fast I said, well we got one out of two so I guess a fifty percent success rate is ok it was really short lol.
The park was nice and quiet, vibrant colours and the singing of birds. warm up walk, and we are off, not fast so maybe we can speed up after the toxic 10….. well we couldn’t, but it was fantastic to be out, the air feels amazing on arms and legs, a few people arrived, some with dogs some with children some with both and two with a remote control aeroplane which was doing some really clever flying. I speeded up, I slowed down, Willow kept pace until near the end, it all sounds a lot of effort but it wasn’t it was just a couple kilometres but we did it.
Have a great weekend whether running or not

The main things are (a) you do it and (b) you enjoy it. Sounds like 100% success to me Oh, and remember, there are millions of people who would think 2km was as unattainable as a marathon!!!
I suppose it doesn’t really and it’s been a while since I’ve wanted to get out and run, lot of the time I was off work I couldn’t be bothered or was in pain and fed up it’s good to want to run again
That's fantastic, a great run for you both! I'm not surprised you couldn't speed up, it was so hot yesterday, I got too warm just walking the dog! 🥵🥵 isn't it just wonderful that you're able to run again 🤗👏👏👏💪
That's for sure. I'm consolidating, again, and my times aren't even close to what I was doing in December, but I'm making an effort to go slower and, maybe, avoid injury this this time.
Thank you thank you, I think it’s time I tried to keep a slow steady pace instead of trying to get faster, as i can run faster for very short bursts but am not being consistent
I only do slow. at 67 I need to stay injury free so as old floss says slow and steady is my mantra. I can then enjoy the experience too. I do do fartleks occasionally but my fast pace is most likely their slow pace but who cares I’m out running and that’s definitely better than on the IC or just the plain old couch. 🤣🏃♀️🤣🏃♀️🤣🏃♀️🤣
Absolutely! Just enjoy it. I read today that people who run are less likely to develop dementia and actually it makes our bones stronger. I don't care if it's not actually true, I choose to believe it, as I'm terrified of getting dementia as my mum has Alzheimer's and we both have arthritis in our spine, but It's never stopped me dancing or running! 🤞
I choose to believe it too, my mum had arthritis in her knees from a younger age than I am now and it slowed her down so the longer we can ru. the better. Dementia is terrible,
