Went running today!!

Well had a good week off from my usual exercise (with the exception of 2 sets of tennis and 1 hour PT session in the gym). Much below my normal routine, but Christmas started early for me with my son being home until 21st!

So I made a promise to myself that on Boxing day I would go for a run again - rather than leave it until new year.

I really enjoyed it - was a lovely morning - although my belly felt like a small child attached to me!😱 I managed to run all of it too - whereas I had allowed myself the opportunity to run/walk if need to.

Looking forward to my next run tomorrow. I will get rid of the christmas bulge as soon as I can!!

The best part of my run was being accompanied by my hubby who some of you may remember had a serious back injury in October. This was his first run sinced then and other than the back aching he was fine - and looked a lot fitter than me at the end - so he is now planning for his marathon in September. I will be aiming to do a 10k now after the 5k I ran in may.

I would just like to say a special thank you to Northerner for the support and advice he gave my husband recently - it got him back out there -so thank you very much!

Anybody else been running this christmas?🙂

Brilliant Lucy - well done to both of you! 🙂 I went for a longish run on Christmas Eve so have taken a couple of days off, but I will be out again tomorrow morning 🙂

Great to hear that you both did so well, and that hubby is back running again - good luck in your training! 🙂

Wow Lucy and Northener. I am so impressed with you. I'm enjoying being a complete and utter couch potato but I don't feel at all guilty. I've just had 11 days of rest and relaxation and I feel soooooooooo happy with life

Hi Lucy, that is so impressive, well done. I've gone and booked myself onto my 1st Fun Run in August 2012 and intend to raise as much as I can for Diabetes UK, therefore, will be coming to you and Northerner for tips galore...

Great news, runners.

I'm looking forward to getting back to running after go ahead from physio after knee arthroscopy - now passed 5 months since injury and no running, orienteering, kayaking in that time, just a bit of cycling.

Well done Lucy - Northerner!

I enjoyed 5 miles including steep hills in a local dene this morning with the running club. Keep on improving!
