Hold your arms out wide and shout 'wheeeee' all the way down - you may feel daft, but that has to let something go (and if that sounds too daft for you then maybe just try to imagine yourself doing it )👍. It's lovely to hear that you all had a good day yesterday, a chink of light.

Good for you Paul, sounds like you had a great day yesterday. Enjoy that walk up/run down. Let off some steam! 🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Sounds like a good run Paul and glad you all had a lovely time yesterday.🙂

Sounds like a great idea Hidden you can just let yourself go on the way back down again!😀

It’s great that places are reopening again and we can return to some kind of normality as long as people behave sensibly!🙂🤞

Whoops! Isn’t predictive text great? It recalls all the runners we have mentioned in the past.

Well done paul1960. I hope things will improve for you all soon. Getting out to do special things with your family makes such a difference, and then run for yourself and get that headspace you need.

[paul1960 Marathon]

The hill was an hill 2mile up and then run back down but my son did not make it that easy for me he put a 14 lb weight vest on me which made it more of a challenge but I did it and it felt great especially running down the hill .me and irene my wife and all the family went out for a meal yesterday and we enjoyed it creating some nice memories I truly hope we can get more years with the wife am realy going to miss her cant think of my life without her 😥♥️

14lb vest? Blimey - how fast did you come down that hill? 😱

One day at a time is the way forward otherwise, it will all be too overwhelming. That you've had two good days recently is testament to the effort you're making for your family. Well done for making these days work.

[Run46 Half Marathon]

That sounds very good for the thighs and lungs 🏃‍♂️😅

Love a butterfly house, been to one at Chester Zoo and another in Conwy, both really nice too 🦋

2 mile hill with a 14 lb vest? Well done to you sir! Sounds like a great day out with the family too Paul.
