Out in the luvly sunshine slinky was OK on the first 8min run but could manage only about 5mins on the next run before going to a walk, obviously the long break has taken it's toll, so she will do 5min runs for a spell...But we took in a 5k circuit also with the walking along with going up my steep hill which was knackering..😊

Any run is better than no run Dave. Slinky is doing great, slow and steady will do just fine. Enjoy πŸ˜€πŸ’ͺ🏻

Same thing really, he's just not interested. Frightens the crap out of me, he's quite a bit older than me too. You can't force someone though...
