Oh to be 17 again!

Daughter number 1 started c25k this morning as an antidote to A level revision and covered as much ground on w1r1 as I managed on w6r3! Knew she'd be good but didn't think she'd be that good. Oh to be young and fit and long legged! * basks in maternal pride tinged with smidgen of envy* :)

Ha. How unfair... But in some ways she IS you!! Your genes, your immortality down the generations! Be proud! You have given her that gift... ( is this working?!!) ... Bet you could do that at her age too..:) ... You are allowed a little bit of spitty envy too though ok! X

Cheers Jaqs. I'll keep telling myself that as she leaves me for dust lol :)

My daughter is exactly the same but she is on W7 now and I have actually got some respect for doing the longer runs. !!! It's not all about speed ....

Ha ha, I'll await the 'respect' phase with anticipation. :)

I did once vow NEVER to run with one of my tribe again, after she almost died laughing at my paltry efforts. But now I think I could probably go further than she can... But I know if she trained, I'd be dust.

Can't imagine ever running with her -I'd have to sprint to keep up!

Not what you're looking for?
