.....The thrills of a great run....

[ju-ju-]

Hello everyone

So my lad Leon and I decided to do another 10k on Monday ( me after work, him after school and childminder)....so here are the best bits ( has to be a list!)

The wind was blowing and it felt so free and wild

My body felt fit and strong...wow, never had that, and tummy didn't wobble ( thanks to the diet)

Leon just kept going and pushing himself and turning round grinning at me

I had that feeling when you can just keep on running

Another runner actually SMILED at us, never had that before either, they usually give me a wierd look as I am innanely grinning at them

I beat my PB and did it in 1 hour 7 mins....Leon ( who is 11) did it in 1 hour

I have to say....its thanks to Malcy, he has really inspired me as to what we are capable of...thankyou

Well done Juicyju and Leon, both very good times, I wonder what Leon will be doing 10K in come this time next year after that growth spurt that young lads have about that age!?! Me thinks you will be eating his dust mum

I think you are right, and it will be less than a year

Wow! Such good times and so great that it's something you can do together. I've tried dragging my two out with me for a run but they're not exactly keen!!

Thankyou....keep perservering, the only reason Leon started running with me was because i couldn't leave him on his own in the house so I made him come!!!! After that he was hooked, my baby is on his first school trip for 2 days in London and I keep having little panicks

Well done on the PB! Regarding running with Leon, I have two very young kids, 3 and 18 months, and I look forward to being able to take them with me on a run.

[ju-ju- Graduate in reply to Aftabs]

excellent....start them young I'd say!!!!

Sounds like Leon should be called 'marathon man' I would be nervous about trying to keep up with him

Another PB happy days!!

I know..I am. He is in London for 2 days on a school trip...I'm away from home ( which I do twice a week for work) but I have been having little panicks about him all day. He is very driven but the clumsiest and most forgetful person ever, just hope my best boy is OK
