Happy calves!

This gambolling snail just plodded gently to jazz tonight for 20 mins. Quiet dark streets, soft mild air, twinkling Christmas lights and happy calves. Shame the rest of me was so shattered - maybe I should roller all over! 😂

Hi!...I nearly always run to jazz too!!...today was Lou Donaldson 'Blues Walk' (for my runs), and Cannonball Adderley 'Work Song' for my brisk walks!! Seems to help!

Hi, I'll have to try those thanks.

Brubeck's Take 5 and Unsquare dance are 2 of my current Run playlist- very fond of those!

Running to jazz feels very cheerful- I often find myself grinning happily at the start of a favourite track. 😀

Oh, good choices, Elfe5!..forgot to add that my current favourite for 5 min warm up is Splanky!..Although my version lasts for 7 mins...but love it and its a fantastic uplifting sound to get me energised.

Jazz makes your calves happy! Great to hear you could run. This is not a great time to rest as we're usually preparing for Xmas but I hope you'll get a good rest before running again. Merry Christmas!
