The gym is not for me ,W7R1

So it’s mummy’s Birthday today so taking her out for a meal tonight and as it’s warm I thought oh I know let’s make the most of the money I’m paying for my gym membership and try today’s run in the treadmill....this was not a good idea !

Firstly it felt warming in the gym than outside, secondly as I’d forgot my headphones I had to listen to their tunes although the irony of highway to hell was not lost on me ! And finally it was so boring not actually going anywhere and looking at the same static thing.

There were several points where I could have easily just pressed stop !! But I didn’t so that a result x

On to run2 on Saturday outside !!!

I find treadmill runs difficult too - handy in the winter months though if there’s snow or ice on the ground!

Yeah that’s true, I just find it disheartening that by the end my speed was lower than my warm up walk !!

Don’t be disheartened, it’s just different conditions - it’s all miles in the running belt no matter how fast or slow!

Just you wait! They have an unerring instinct to scan down the prices side of the menu and pick the big numbers.... It'll be lobsters for himself in a couple of years' time!! :-)

Good for you!! I can't imagine anything worse than doing my runs on a treadmill but have huge admiration for people who can grit it out on a constant diet of bad cable TV. I'd have given up.

Give me the great outdoors any day. He said because it's Spring and warm and quite pretty out there atm...
