Enjoy your ‘date’ 👍

in reply toMaddee_6333

Thank you! A 20 minute run has to be worth getting up early for, right?

Best time of the day to do it mate.

You see a whole new world.

Neighbours you have never seen, animals and birds you don’t normally see. Sights, smells. It’s a great time to run.

And you have 20 glorious minutes to soak it all up.

Enjoy it buddy!

Just keep it slow.

Ooh, I like a guessing game.

Erm, is a plumber coming round to service your boiler?

Just take it slow and steady, get into a good breathing rhythm and you'll be fine, trust the program.

You can do it.

in reply toLeeU

Thanks Lee, as long as I don't think too much about it, I'm kinda OK ;)

in reply toPolly2810

Thanks Polly, I will. For some reason I actually enjoy running now. Never thought I would ever say that.

Yeay!!! Sleep well! A run at the start of the day... perfick!

in reply toOldfloss

Thanks floss, it would be slightly better if I could run near home where I normally do, but because of work, I'm going to have to run round the streets near where I work in Chorley. An hour from home unfortunately! But I'm getting up extra early :) Really looking forward to it actually.

Jump in the car and go to Worden Park in Leyland. Beautiful running

Ooooooh exciting. 😊 Good luck, buddie. (But you don't need luck). x

PS Me too. I will be running at 6:30am, cold permitting. 🏃‍♀️

in reply toSadie-runs

And now I don't know which of your replies to reply to. Why is the internet so confusing???? And bear in mind I'm a web developer and have been since before most people knew the internet existed... I despair of me sometimes :)

Well, I am an editor, so I should have known better and put my PS at the end of my original message, rather than in a new one, which is all wrong for a PS. I despair of me sometimes, too. 🙁

End of Stop is what these PR types always put at the bottom of a press release prior to handing you the invoice :)

What is it that the youngsters say these days... "I fail at life!!" Right - bed time for me. Night x

Pro? Me? What?!? I am just one run ahead of you, Buster. Two, by tomorrow, if I manage it. Which I may not after my last flaky run. 🙄

Oh, you've got it bad! It's great isn't it?! I'll be out at 6.30am too, if I'm not still asleep! Have a great run :)

in reply toFishypieface

Thanks! Yeah, you're probably right! Tuesdays are a hard day for me to fit a run in, but I had to give this particular run special status. Ok it's just another run. Like heck it is :P

A great start to the day...you’ll be ready for anything 💪🏻

in reply toMummycav

I'll be ready for a sit down and a brew for sure. I am nervous because it's a milestone run, but the support you lot have been really, really helps!

And we are expecting a grinning post very early on in the day....

Thanks Jan, your support means a lot x

Good work fella! I find it the best time of the day to run, you can also scare people by wandering around with a self satisfied grin all day! You're doing great, cyber high five from me!

in reply tolardofale

Thank you :) Self-satisfied grin duly installed :D
