Stop making excuses!

Tonight is week 2 run 2.

Yes it's slow I've probably missed a day or 2 but life took over with kids and uni work.

All of my friends are runners here in Devon... Why not... Great views! But I have no one to run with except the gymnast crazy 10 year old who is either at gym or too fit for me to keep up with. My 13 year old son is either doing 4 sports a day or his head in the book or the xbox! He also admitted to a friend last week that he doesn't want to run with me because im too slow... I think I cramp his style tbh.

So I've got a new running buddy.... He lives the opposite side of the country to me. We are friends who both need to get fit for our future so we schedule our run.... Take a selfie before and after (that's a laugh) then tell each other how it was. Quite simple really and I don't have to worry about keeping up with anyone, still at my pace. But the support is there.

So tonight it's 6pm.....lets do this!

That's a great idea! Although I think if I took a selfie after my runs it would look like a picture of the recent blood moon!

That’s cool! One day the boy will learn that slow running is real fun! Have fun out there tonight.
