Did uphill speed training with my running group yesterday. Only for about 50m 6 times, so if I can do it, you can! eventually. 😊

Wow, that's awesome, Dave. Just the thought of hills increases my heart rate tenfold! Maybe one day. Well done! :)

Hi floss!

Wish I could put a video clip on here of me coming up the hill..

Wifey (Slinky) isn't running at the moment, a goiter from her thyroid about the size of a small melon has been found in her upper chest, which she didn't know was there until running showed it up, when she went to the doctor's about a lingering cough when she would excert herself running, but it's pushing over the wind pipe, so has to be removed, but her sternum (breastbone) will have to be split to get it out. Have been to St George's hospital today to discuss with cardio thoracic surgeon, who assured us it's a low risk standard procedure. She's feeling better now with the assurance, but could have done without it, as she will be out of action for months..πŸ˜₯ but I'm making sure she remains positive for the future..😊

Oh Dave..I am so sorry...goodness it sounds horrid.

But...now you are prepared for this and hopefully it can be tackled soon. Amazing that she did her C25K and after without issues..I remember she did have a cough..way back..What a determined lady!

Please give her my best wishes..and a Floss hugxxx

She will be out there before we know itxxxx
