What could be better than celebrating my first day of retirement with a happy run! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Sun, warm breeze, birdsong-marvellous!

Congratulations on the retirement. I took early retirement/redundancy in 2017 and now I've taken up running love the free time I have for plodding along. Enjoy every minute ๐Ÿ˜€

You had better believe it!!!!

Congratulations on your retirement Elfe5๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘. I retired two months ago now (Iโ€™m 61) itโ€™s a great feeling isnโ€™t it ?

However my running has been a bit slack of late....well a week to be precise. I canโ€™t stand running in the heat and getting up at early o clock I canโ€™t do. Hubby and I always like a nice cuppa in bed at about 6.00 and I cannot drag my body out that early enough hee! hee!

However I might give it a go today!

Good luck with your retirement and running!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

Thank you so much.๐Ÿ˜„

I am not a morning person at all, but tried an early morning run and was pleasantly surprised that I could โ€œ semi- sleep runโ€ quite happily and then felt great for the rest of the day. It was worth the effort - sun, bird song, cooler air & that wonderful โ€œfresh new day โ€œ feel.

After your 6.00am cuppa sounds perfect! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
