25 minutes? You're having a laugh.

Did it!

I encouraged my rugby-playing, weight-lifting 16-year old son out with me yesterday morning.

He gave up after 5 minutes of admittedly very silly comedy running and I carried on and on and on.

I thought he might be a bit miffed by being outrun by his overweight mum, but he was wonderful, telling me how proud he was. I nearly cried. He's going to start the C25K after his exams. Proud son, proud mum.

You outran a 16 year old!! Whoop Whoop. He may have been proud but I bet he was also a bit surprised and totally gutted.
