Had a bit of a lie in this morning took the dog out came home waited for the school kids to be dropped of and mums and dads to disperse, (I live very close to a school), and went for my first run without the dog. I am still sticking to 30 minutes on average, but the pace is picking up bit by bit. This is my third week after graduation and still going out 3 times a week, so happy with that.

I can now get back into my work cloths, for when I need to be in the office, but I do love my "lounge" wear when I'm working from home.

As Friday night is treat night a nice glass of wine and maybe a little bit of chocolate as a reward for the hard work, well we all need a treat every now and then.

Happy running weekend runners enjoy its the weekend off for me.

Note to self order a snood, the cold air must have really got to me as when I got home I was coughing like a smoker.

Love the slow runners live longer article. I decided when I graduated to not push too hard set unrealistic targets but to just enjoy the running, and that’s exactly what I am doing. Will I get to 5k? Hopefully. Does it matter if I don’t? No, not one bit. I am exercising regularly I feel better and here are words I never thought I would say, I actually like running
