Laura made me do it! I went for my "brisk walk" no running of course as per doctor's orders. I used the time to work on posture. Like I was advised on this forum: try to get my belly button to touch my spine. I also worked on my breathing. Four in four out. Once we hit the beach and sand Laura kept harping on about trying to jog, I said no, but she kept encouraging me, egging me on. I gave up. I did not really go into a run or a jog but more of a shuffle. I hardly lifted my feet off the ground. I did four or five lots of 1 minute. It was good. Laura was right, I could do it. I am happy.

You naughty runner! You're not supposed to be running yet I can so sympathise though. There you are, walking along, being good, concentrating on your posture, when suddenly St Laura tells you to run. Well what's a runner to do? Listen to the doctor, or listen to St Laura? No contest!!! You take care now

Well done to you, especially on sand you done really well. Keep up the good work
Wow, Laura is so persuasive. Just be careful not to overdo it (or that's what people keep telling me...)
Take care.
