I done got 'd bug !!

'Tell Laura I love her.... tell ....', Sorry guys got carried away there for a second !! Just a big shout out to that little voice in my ear (phones) that has got my wife and myself over the line at W6R3 !! We are now officially, RUNNERS !!!!!! The trade off of greetings and receiving of that 'nod of approval',from our fellow runners encountered on the 'road', says 'welcome aboard the health train you guys, tickets please and fasten your seat belts ' !!! Week 7 ,here we come and we dont plan on taking any prisoners ,taking refuge in any lack of motivation in the guise of excuses, or, taking the easy way out now(Beatle reference !!) by failing to deliver less than 100% concerted effort towards acheiving what is now very much within sight and only slightly exceeding our present grasp !!

1.8 miles /2.89 K in 31.42 minutes covered today - slow may be, but it means my wife and I can run alongside each other so as to keep moral high !! We are slowly shifting and shaping our goals keeping very much in mind that we are at present concentrating on time spent running with only a cursory glance at the distance covered, things will change no doubt as we progress to 10k but for now we have 'happy feet' and a healthier heart (and very wet clothing !!) If there was an appropriate name for this addiction we all have here ,we could aptly declare it as having 'the runs' , but on second thoughts, may be not !!

Great run. I still find it strange that the song you were singing at the start there was banned by the BBC... different days!

Enjoy week 7

Great for completing 'the runs ' 😊. When I was wee , we used to sing that song to my sister as she is called Laura and she used to crack up 😊😊

Well done! And you are right not to worry about distance, you are focusing on the most important, enjoyment! It feels like a big step that run doesn’t it?
