Annie, the best way to deal with those gremlins is to run along going 'Blah, blah, blah' as loud as you can.

You'll get some strange looks but it'll take your mind off of the gremlins ๐Ÿคฃ

You're doing great, enjoy the runs.

๐Ÿคฃ Now that made me laugh!! Thanks๐Ÿ‘

laugh all you want, it is a proven gremlin killer.

It will also increase your 5k time as you'll run faster and further to our run the people around you before they call the police or a doctor ๐Ÿ˜

Those pesky gremlins, youโ€™d think theyโ€™d give you a break!

Hope you have a lovely time in Canada, I thought my daughter was a long way away in SuttonColdfield, 2 hours by car & my son when he was 4 years at Southampton uni. Youโ€™ve put it all into perspective.๐Ÿ˜Š

Must be lovely to go visiting x
