Today is Valentine's Day
And for a few folks, this...
Is an opportunity,
That's just too good to miss!
❤️
So on this most auspicious day
I need to yell and shout,
How much I just LOVE RUNNNING
And now my secret's out!
❤️
I found this very special love
Near on 8 years ago.
From the very day I found it
My passion began to grow.
❤️
Our love's just slow and steady
For us, the way to go.
We know we could go faster,
But we just move with the flow.
❤️
Our relationship 's not easy
We've had our tricky times
But somehow we've got back on track
To find new starting lines.
❤️
Each day, brings some new pleasure
And something new to see,
Just running along , then rambling
It feels so good to me.
❤️
I'd like to share my LOVE with you
But I know YOU'LL find your own,
And one day you may be here, like me
And find YOUR passion's grown.
❤️
It's time that I stopped rambling now,
So I just want to say,
I hope that all you RUNNERS
Have a simply, LOVELY day !
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wondering if a suitable way to declare my undying love for running is by buying some new trainers…

What else can I say?
I could have sworn I bought a card for UTS, but couldn’t find it, so reused, recycled a previous year’s card. Is this what happens at 65?
Sorry, not a running question. ❤️

I've done that for at least the last 10 years...not that I always forget..just got to be a tradition with ones I make x

That is super xxx

Mr Garmin is so fickle. He sent one to me too!!!! -so do you think we are the only 2 or does he just send them to anyone who runs on Valentines day?
Reply (1)Report
I discovered that he sends one to everyone who does an activity, and I got mine for Pilates. There’s no doubt, he is a bit of a flirt ❤️

Unlike Coach Bennett of course who is mine and mine alone!🤣🏃♀️

Yes was out early at 6.30. And got my Garmin valentines badge. Did 12 min later on in afternoon. Mr D out 8.44 km and came back with a single red rose. The old Romantic 🥰

Having a lovely day thanks although we don't really "do" valentine's Day, I might follow a friend's example and buy myself some flowers😂

Go on... you are worth it, and if MissUnderstanding is considering gifting herself some new shoes????? xxxx
Reply (2)Report
I gifted myself a new sports bra instead! ❤️
Reply (2)Report
Well...that is equally good....and Easter is on its way too,???I bought myself a second pair of thermal running socks from Lidl...my feet love them ! Xxx
Reply (1)Report
I think I need a visit to the middle aisle of Lidl! You can never have too many pairs of warm socks!
Reply (1)Report
They are excellent..I am a tad precious about my running socks, but these are soft, warm and not too tight, and at £3.99...a bargain! X.

I was just thinking of you a few minutes ago and thinking I had not seen a post for a few weeks!
But, here you are... a Valentine's day surprise!
Thank you... I hope you have had, or are having a lovely day, and that all is well! x
Reply (0)Report
Aw that is so nice to hear OF! And a lovely surprise this end too that you were thinking of me 😊. I’m fine and repeating C25K at the mo, currently on week 7. I managed to get proximal hamstring tendinitis towards the end of last year, so had to bring it back down to basics. I didn’t know I could be so patient! So I will write a probably very rambling post when I graduate again - it feels very different 2nd time round. Hope you have some nice chocolate or some such to munch on this Valentine’s Day ❤️❤️❤️.
Reply (1)Report
Just such good news! Not the tendonitis, of course.
Yes.. repeating Couch is so, so different! It will be very good to read the re-graduation post! So many of us have repeated... so many times! Me included!
Yes, some lovely nibbles and a glass of a rather good red wine... xxx I am glad you are here ! x

Thanks for a lovely poem, and just generally keeping us on track! Only a short run for me yesterday, as I bumped into a friend at the end of my road and we ended up chatting...
