The year so far and Running without a Treadmill.

Well lets see in April I had a very nasty running accident so I could not do a 10k in aid of dementia on my 75th. Last month I was attacked by a dog when running. This month someone managed to T Bone my car.I think someone is trying to tell me something and the weather is atrocious. Been running on the spot for a few day. Using You Tube Vertual Running on my 60 inch Tv which really pulls you in. I did the Chicago 5k one day and an Orange County 5k in California, just loved the blue sky.

The big plus is no weather and no dogs.

Happy running everybody.

It’s been a horrible year for me too. Since I graduated again, running has been impossible. I got covid, my dog got very ill and life just got in the way. Think I’ll start jogging on the spot, never thought of doing that. Take care xoxo 😘

Oh hamit, what a rotten time you’re having! I’m so sorry to hear about everything that’s been going on, I’m not surprised you haven’t wanted to run outside. Running on the spot gets a bit tedious doesn’t it but I like the idea of the You Tube runs - what a great way of seeing the world! I hope you feel up to getting outside soon!
