Morning 😃
I have not had a gout attack like the one I've just had for ages its gone now so my running shoes are at the ready,
My son wants a lift to southwell this afternoon so I might just have my kit in the car.

That's good MB.
RH, I know exactly what you mean. I also find that if I have 10 planned but my head isn't in it, I then don't go out at all.
But two is better than zero, so go out for two and see how you go. If it's OK, aim for 5 then reassess. You can always do 5 now, 5 later.

I swam 
I know time might be an issue, RH, but Carps' idea of 2 x 5 mile runs in one day is a good one as a starter. I used to have to split a lot of my longer runs when I was working (and I expect to do similar once I get another job!!!)

Yay for 
I did a wiggly route back from the garage, checking out possible footpaths. What I found was litter, a burnt out car, and fly-tipping in the beautiful countryside

Morning
Well swum, pool’s no use if too busy, exercise or enjoyment. I often have a quick look at nearest cove before committing myself - but in there, more swimmers = more fun. Never gets busy.
Hope you got out, ran & enjoyed it RH. I like the two 5 milers plan, also, once you’re out you’ll probably just carry on. Easy for me to say, more time & if I’m going that far it’s sloooow & scenic.
Hope you have a lovely run meadowsboy.
time to do some baking, cheese scones, Victoria sandwich, & tiffin

I  I did 10.
There were lumpy bits, there were boring bits. I too came home with a fair amount of litter (ice lolly wrappers strewn around the RSPB) I just checked, that was my longest run since June last year !
I almost went for a swim in the river - but thought better of it.

Rosehip long run + litter pick 
I’m glad you didn’t river swim, unless you know it’s safe! (I’m a worrier)
