W7R1- a positive day :)

[Jogunlikely]

Pity party over, having metaphorically kicked myself up the butt!

Today has been a day of positivity

Rode the ponio this morning and managed to avoid the torrential April showers 🌧 P+ no1

Went to have a look round a gym that has egym technology. I was impressed and have signed up to a 6 week course. Induction session tomoz = P+2 I'll do a post on the egym once ive had chance to use it 💪🏋️‍♀️ Chap at gym was very easy on the eye - yes I'm old enough to be his mother but it's still counting as =P+3 oh and he said he didn't think I needed to loose weight 💕💕💕

Did my run. You know it's not easy emptying your coat pockets into your flipbelt as you run, removing said coat and tying it round my waist but i was determined I was not stopping 🤣 Toxic 10 (the overheating not helping) then got into a reasonable rhythm but I struggled to slow myself down. Defo not at conversation pace today but my legs just weren't listening to my brain. So I puffed my way round the field. Laura tells me 5 mins left to run when I must have hit a glitch in the time continuum because that was a very,very, very long 4mins. The gremlins paid a visit and required a fair bit of bashing 😈🔨🗡 Ol' perky pants then says "just 60 seconds left to run, see if you can push on" Some Anglo Saxon phrases were directed at dear Laura. I can only hope she forgives me 🙏 To summarise, a tough run but I did it = P+ 4

Came home and did 20 mins stretch video = P+5

Then the best bit - I went for a massage- absolute bliss! P+++6

Happy running folks xxx

PS ponio not impressed that I didnt get his good side. He thinks that his part in my mental wellbeing deserves more than his ears to be in shot 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I just love your posts. !!! I’m sure you’ll make it with this running caper but I think you should find a ‘forum to best seller writing app’ too !!!

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Laurzmum]

I'm not sure about that 😁 I just prattle on as I find it cathartic but glad it has the added bonus of amusing the lovely people on this forum xx

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

There’s some big positivity. Great day. Is Mr Eye Candy going to be hands on training you???

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Really UFM! 🙊 {feign shock}

The 6 week course does include two 30 min PT sessions so here's hoping 🤗

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

😂. Have fun!!

[Kertesz]

... That bit about pockets, flip belts, tied-up coats etc... I FEEL your pain. If anglo Saxon phrases are what we’re using then: ‘Oi jacket... stop *anglo Saxon* flapping round my waist... And YOU zip - stop whacking my thighs...!’ is one of my most uttered phrases... Nice view from the ponio though... 😂

[Granspeed Graduate]

Well, here’s to you and the ponio. Well done both. And lovely bluebells too! 👏🏼🎉👏🏼

[TFG89]

This made me laugh although I’m going to have to google what an egym is 😳 well done for staying so positive! Can I be cheeky and ask which stretch video you use? I’m scouting for ideas

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to TFG89]

Sure today I just searched for stretch video on YouTube and found one by Lindsay Samper - she is on Amazon prime too if you have it.

But I do have a great dvd but I tidied up at Christmas and haven't seen it since 😠 I'll have a look see if I can find it

[Rosiepug Graduate]

Well done you👏. Sounds like a very positive and productive day... win-win. How did you fit in a run?!!!

[Gingeral57 Graduate]

I also mastered the art of removing clothing and tying it round my waist whilst running today, it’s really not easy.

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Gingeral57]

Glad it's not just me 🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Love a view between a horse’s ears - It’s been a very long time! You had a busy day!

[JuJogger Graduate]

Well done! Amazed that you did more exercise after that, aswell!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Well done you!

[SeeJillRun Graduate]

Sounds like a great day! No clue what an egym is (predictive text wants to change it to Egypt 🙄😂) but if it comes with added handsome guy then count me in! Please tell ponio his ears are beautiful, sounds like he needs the compliment 😂

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Thank you. Ponio doesn't need any encouragement, though I will pass on the compliment, he knows he is very handsome. If a human he would be quite vain! 🤣

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

Bless him! 😂😂😂

[Katnap Graduate]

Well done avoiding the showers! And a nice view too 😁
