Better out than In, I reckon.

[...Out running than Inside on couch]

And I have been pondering. Couch? Settee? Sofa? Chaise longue? What do we say at home?

I would do a fart lek but I think I could only do a long slow one, and to be honest who wants that?

Aren't they meant to be fast and powerful?

Or silent but deadly? ;-)

Tried it ~ loved it.

After a few sessions I set a new (and noticably faster) PB on a standared measured 3.2K I do. 14:05 mins. 50 years old with dodgy knees.

I didn't set out to do a new PB, it just happened after a Fartlek(?) session.

Thank you - I suppose I could have googled it, but who knows what would have come up? I was researching nuns once, and my computer nearly got confiscated!! :)
