Consolidation Run 1 - and my husband came too!

Well that was a first!

30 years together, 25 years married, and today my husband and I ran our first run together along my graduation route. It was brilliant πŸ˜€!

He’s an occasional runner but has just started Parkrun again ready for me graduating. Unfortunately Parkrun is on hold just now, so we did our own version! I aim to get him running more regularly now 😊.

That is brilliant.

Running with family is definitely a great joy.

in reply to IannodaTruffe

Thank you. I wasn’t sure how we would get on pace wise, but he just ran at mine. Something magic happened though as we still had two more minutes running to do at the place I usually began my cool down walk during week 9! I couldn’t believe it!

My aim is to get him out running with me more regularly now. Good for him and good for me 😊.

Running with my wife helped me to slow down, so do make sure that when you run together you stick to the pace of the slower one..........unless you are on a fast run, of course.

Will do, thank you 😊

Congratulations to both of you for that lovely run together, once parkruns start again you can both run together, of course no one knows when they will start again, hopefully by the summer. 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

in reply to AlMorr

Thank you Al. I think I shall register for Parkrun now so I’m ready to run when it restarts. Let’s hope it’s not too long to wait.

Definitely not the last! When I said we should try to run together once a week, he said he would like to run more often than that! Great πŸ‘πŸΌ.

How delightful. There are a few upsides to isolating! Such lovely spring weather at the moment. Enjoy

It was a beautiful day - just calling us to ditch the laptops and get outside. 😊
