Now I have to condition my knees, calves, thighs and and and...? Just did some squats, much merriment was had. At least I amuse myself.

Ha ha - It's a slippery slope isn't it? Squats and lunges really hurt my knees so I have to take it really easy - bit of a pain( literally) but love that you're doing it!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I know what you mean - have to go through pain to ease pain. It's all metaphorical I'm sure. ps love the graduation badge!

Ha ha - this running lark leads us into all sorts of things. Don't get me started on the amount of kit I seem to have found necessary!

Ok, I won't ask you what kit you thought was absolutely essential and now rarely use!

Well, very impressive. I know where all this leads eventually. I have seen it in my own family. It is called HIIT and it sounds terrifying, so beware!
