So the other morning, 6.30am it’s a bit windy and drizzly, I’m leaving the house in my running gear for the next run. Neighbour across the road is sitting on her doorstep in her dressing gown, smoking a cigarette and appears to be coughing up a lung between drags. “You must be f*in mental” she croaked at me between coughs and drags on her fag. Yes yes, I’m the weird one in this little scene. Jolly good.

Embrace the crazy! 😂😂

It’s hard to think that that was me in June! Maybe your neighbour will change her perspective at some point. I’ve yet to meet a smoker who doesn’t wish they weren’t addicted.

Thanks for sharing, enjoy being mental on that next run too.

I wonder whether, by degrees, the penny will drop and she’ll have a little try of C25K? Keep running, see how long her curiosity takes to cave! You never know ....... 😀🏃‍♀️🤞👍
