Week 9 Run 1

Did a different route this morning. It was cloudy but very warm so I decided to run around the marina and then back along the promenade. I nearly didn’t go today as I usually take two days off at weekend but we plan to go to Calpe market Wednesday so thought Sunday, Tuesday and Friday would be good this week. As I left I said to Alan, not sure if I’ll run today, I’ll see how it goes. That old grammer school voice in my head said “don’t be a wimp” so I did it. 30 minutes with no walking or stopping. I even ran around Tia when she took a ‘comfort break’. I think people must think I’m mad, but then again the English Morris dancing with a dog is probably acceptable here 😂😂 Picture is end of run as skies began to clear.

Thank you Annieapple. Six months ago, when I was on both oral and inhaler based steroids, just to enable me to walk Tia on a gentle 20 minute stroll, I really thought my running days were over. Thanks to the encouragement of this fantastic group I am back on it. A bit slower but loving it 😀

What a view 😁, our heads talk rubbish sometimes and make sense at others, and running round Tia 😁 perfect
