Plodding along

Hello friends. I have been quiet on here for a few months but still plodding along in the background and keeping tabs on all of your inspirational posts. I'm ashamed to say I haven't been outside much this winter, I am such a wimp, but I have been keeping at it on the treadmill of death. I can't say I particularly love it, the human hamster wheel, but it has definitely made me keep running regularly when otherwise I might have only done about 3 runs since October! Almost 8k outside last week (I got my miles to km conversion slightly wrong so 0.3k out)! 8k on the treadmill yesterday. I have had periods during these runs where I've thought, 'I'm actually a runner!' A slow runner๐Ÿ˜‹ but a runner nonetheless!

Slow running counts! Well done for sticking at it through the winter. And getting back out there now the weather is better. Iโ€™d say - you are a runner!

Thanks DiscoRunner! There was a while yesterday I was thinking ' I can blooming walk faster than this' but yes, you're right. I had running gear on so I must be a runner.๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
