Was only supposed to run for 30 mins today... but was feeling good, so couldnโ€™t help getting to the 5km mark. It took me 35 mins 58 secs. Itโ€™s the first time in a little while where Iโ€™ve ran without stopping for a little breather. So really pleased with myself ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Really lame I know... but the lovely charity โ€œVersus Arthritisโ€ sent me a free running vest. So I couldnโ€™t help but personalise it with my name in pink, sparkles and hearts ๐Ÿ’•

LOVE IT! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ (It wonโ€™t let me post a picture at present ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Happy running everyone ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป

Happy running too!

Thanks Rigpig! I was pretty pleased with it! :)

Well done on your run, you seem to be really enjoying it ๐Ÿ˜Š

Im in versus arthritis, it's a good organisation.

Do you find running helps with your arthritis?

Itโ€™s a bit of a rollercoaster this running business but the most part I certainly enjoy it ๐Ÿ˜†

It is a very good organisation.

Iโ€™m not sure if it helps or not to be honest, but certainly doesnโ€™t seem to make things any worse for me! Iโ€™m just grateful I can do it, as Iโ€™ve been told several times before my RA was under better control that I should try exercise that is less intense. Which always made me feel deflated because I like the running and the body pump and stuff like that.

I think the thing it helps most is mental health ๐Ÿ™ƒ

So you are OK with it, Im the same, glad I can still do exercises..

Getting out of the house is great too, especially these days.

You are doing great at the running ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘

Exactly! Have to take the positives sometimes. I know thereโ€™s many people who canโ€™t.

Fingers crossed we can both continue ๐Ÿ™‚

And hopefully all this virus business will soon pass so exploring of more beautiful places can continue!

Happy running ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Yes, I'm frustrated because I want to go to the mountains these days but can't.

Will just have to wait.

Take care and keep us posted on your runs.. ๐Ÿ˜Š
