Sometimes we have to take a little time to think and listen to our "inner Enid". She took some time after plankerty plank today and now we are up and about motivated for running and our day.

Thank you, Roxdog. I think it may take a while to get there. But my inner Enid is motivated by this lovely group. 🤝👍

Thank you, Oldlady57. Used a break in the weather and was lucky enough to be able to squeeze it in. This community dragged Enid out. 🤝👍

Oh Enid! She looks proper comfy on the floor. I ran this morning and shall be plankety-planking later today, and I think Enid's pose is one I could also adopt as I complete it! 😊

The "child pose" that is meant to ease your back and tension...personally it's a "I've had enough" pose. 😘

We'll have to get some t shirts printed - 'What would Enid do?' 😄

NilsamGraduate in reply to Speedy60

It's the wind I hate - drizzle and cold is fine! Can't wait for spring!

Now that's my kind of planking! Oh, I re-read it; that's "after" the planking :D The cat looks really comfortable there, I have a dog that thinks when I get on the floor it's an invitation to snuggle or play. 😄

NilsamGraduate in reply to mom24uk

🤣Don't worry ...she didn't plank long. Dogs and cats are funny, aren't they? No respect. 🐕🐶 🐱

Child's pose - my favourite 😁

Goat 🐐 yoga is a thing, maybe we should start cat 🙀 yoga ☺

Lovely to see Enid again 😊

My nephew did "puppy" yoga. I would not be able to focus. 🐶Thank you so much for your encouragement.🤝👍
