Hi an update, not blogged for a while, I have still been out running walking keeping myself as active as possible with this weather, however have been to the gym and tried the dreaded treadmill, found it not too bad, managed 25mins and 15mins on the cycle. Hope to go out in the morning or maybe not birthday today, been wined and dined

Happy Birthday, hope you enjoyed yourself, if you don't get out tomorrow there is always Monday, although it might have to be on the deck of the ark with all the rain we have coming our way!!

A very happy birthday Pat, good to hear from you, don't stay away too long.

I'm a bit like you and using the gym more than getting out on the roads and pavements, although I love running in snow I don't like the ice even when wearing my spikes, must be getting really old and turning into a whimp!!! Take care and keep on with the exercises, have you tried Zumba Gold at your gym? (slower and less bounce, designed for the older person) its great fun.

Happy Birthday, Pat!! Definitely a grand reason for a bit of wining and dining!!

Gayle and I tried the dreaded treadmills recently also. How did it go, you ask? Well, let's just say we survived...barely!! Aside from being dreadfully boring with the lack of scenery and undying monotony, I had a terrible time finding a good tempo and then when I did, I would invariably be on a treadmill that would insist on stopping for no apparent reason!! Let's just say that we are both very happy to be outside running again!! :-)

Happy birthday again and please know that you are an incredible inspiration!!

Keep Running!! :-)
