A mother on the run

I run a little. I'm no Paula Radcliffe but I enjoy it. I've been running now for oh, over 10 years I suppose. It surprised me a little because it was something I hated when I was younger but getting out with a couple of friends, jogging and chatting, albeit in short sentences does me the world of good. I'll never see a race from the front of the pack that's for sure, my faster days are way past (if they ever existed) but 45 minutes out in the fresh air, getting red-faced and out of puff is just fab.

I'll try to get around to blogging my weekly run totals. They're not marathon distances :-D

This week
Monday 3 miles
Friday 2 1/2 miles (but fast)
Sunday 4 and a bit miles (big hill)

I've been to the gym twice too this week but I don't run there, I crosstrain, row and do some weights. For some reason I don't get on with treadmill running - I can't relax, it makes me tense and my legs ache (more than usual!) Hopefully I'm going to get out this week, walk my favourite route and take some photos.

oh I look forward to that - I do like running outside, much prettier than on a treadmill.

But I can't take my camera with me, because even though it's tiny, I can't take the extra weight :-)
