The simple pleasures 😊

Just been out for my 3rd run this week ( oh yes - I'm back 🏃🏻‍♀️). It's crazy to think that going out on a damp and drizzling autumn morning for a run is quite simply the best way to start a weekend.

I wasn't fast, took a family phone call mid run, had a constant battle with my hooded jacket ( which I tied round my waist) almost tripping me up as it slid down my slippy Lycra clad body. I ended up looping it over my head and under my arm - quite the sight!!!), but I was out there, I've done it and in the words of Mr James Brown ' 🎤 I feel good!!!' ☺️

Go girl go 😀😀👏🏼👏🏼 I agree about a run being a good start to the weekend (went out myself this morning) but if someone had said that to me 6 months ago I would have laughed and sent for the men in white coats !!

OldPossum , I know what you mean, I still wait for the men in white coats to jump out and ask me what I think I'm doing!!! 😂

Good to have you back

[Jingle_berry in reply to Irish-John]

Irish-John - it's good to be back! Life sometimes gets in the way, I('ve had quite a stressful time with family illness and work pressures) but what I need to remember is that running actually helps with this. '🎤When I'm alone and life is making me lonely, I can always go - for a run!!' As Petula Clark almost said ☺️

The woman who runs with the crowd only goes as far as the crowd. The woman who runs alone will go to places otherwise unseen (Einstein,)

Great that you're back and remembering how good a run can make you feel!

It was a lovely morning for a run wasn't it. Feel so much better & ready for the day now Impressed with your multi tasking.

[Jingle_berry in reply to RunningGeek]

RunningGeek , I can't believe I held a conversation whilst running (albeit very slowly!). It's not that long ago that I could barely breathe and couldn't speak for at least an hour after running for a minute!!! It's truly a surprise to me every time I go for a run, I cannot believe it's me!!! X

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Well done you.. that whole jacket slip is lethal isn't it ?

Sounds like a good run.. it is amazing how we just embrace the dampness x
