...you wake up with a head cold and it's raining and windy outside but you still pop those trainers on and go for a 30 minute run! Go me 😀

It will be ok I bet. If your nose runs more then that's good. I always take a huge hankie 😃🏃‍♀️✔️👍

Head colds are ok to run with, but anything below the neck usually requires rest and TLC

🙂🏃‍♀️✔️

You know you're now a runner when you spend more on a pair of running shoes than you have ever done on a pair of regular shoes.

You know you're a runner when you buy extra ice packs because the freezer isn't cooling them down quick enough 😂😂

A bit chewy, I would have thought. How do you cook it?

True Lycra lasagne anyone?

Now how can I "like" that post without suggesting that Lycra lasagne might be in any way nice?

in reply tosheps

That's the eternal conundrum of social media.... Like is the most abused term I find.

Loathe it.... I forbade the use of the word, within the confines of my classroom, for a full week... the word, nice, also :)

I had an English teacher who gave us a whole list of words we weren't allowed to use, and "like" and "nice" we're at the top! I remember Alexei Sayle ranting once: "'Nice'? 'NICE'?! 'Nice' is a word you use about biscuits!!"

It is..just as the word, kid, is not a word to use for a child... :) .... and I used to love those biscuits. many years ago...:)
