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!

It was lovely, what I can’t believe is my 9 year old son decided that he would have the mousells pommel frites, expensive tastes x x

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...
