Was only supposed to run for 30 mins today... but was feeling good, so couldn’t help getting to the 5km mark. It took me 35 mins 58 secs. It’s the first time in a little while where I’ve ran without stopping for a little breather. So really pleased with myself πŸ’ͺ🏼

Really lame I know... but the lovely charity β€œVersus Arthritis” sent me a free running vest. So I couldn’t help but personalise it with my name in pink, sparkles and hearts πŸ’•

LOVE IT! 😬 (It won’t let me post a picture at present πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Happy running everyone πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ»

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

Well done on your run, you seem to be really enjoying it 😊

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

Do you find running helps with your arthritis?

It’s a bit of a rollercoaster this running business but the most part I certainly enjoy it πŸ˜†

It is a very good organisation.

I’m not sure if it helps or not to be honest, but certainly doesn’t seem to make things any worse for me! I’m just grateful I can do it, as I’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 πŸ™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 πŸ˜€πŸ‘

Exactly! Have to take the positives sometimes. I know there’s many people who can’t.

Fingers crossed we can both continue πŸ™‚

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

Happy running πŸ™ƒ

in reply to Sar9

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.. 😊
