I like that Womble! :-).

I am in bed - I went early last night but stayed awake til gone 1am coughing, tonight I am hoping for a bit more in the way of sleep!

I have just been tidying up a bit, I seem to collect clutter on top of my two bedroom chests of drawers. Anyway I found a beautiful black notebook that looks all professional and smart so will take that in to my new job and use it for making notes and plans etc. I would say I would use it as a journal for the year writing lovely notes in about what we've done or where we have been, but I reckon I wouldn't get round to it!

kwala
Out of the starting blocks for 2018 with a gentle 1.7 miler at club. Just walking with a short jog towards the end (so I could log it as a run/walk!!). Found the jog difficult, my chest tightened up quite quickly and I only managed a minute or so, but I think this was because it was really damp out - luckily I managed to get out between the 2 massive downpours, which really wouldn't have done me a lot of good!

Well done kwala. Stick with it all and you'll go from strength to strength. :)

Got out for another run last evening before the weather came in. I'm trying to get a bit ahead before the skiing takes over. ;-) First PT session of the year this morning, a bit of weight lifting was included.

decorum
I played with run walk again yesterday ~ the onlly reason I haven't used it more* is not having a free app which supported it, and not having a GPS watch or type thingy to nudge me :-o :-) .

A good way of extending your distances and splatting the feeling that it's spmehow wrong to walk during a run ;-) ('cus you're listening to the gizmo, and it says 'walk' :-) )

* I've used run walk before, but it felt clunky on my phone. Although I quite enjoyed the method I disliked the faff :-(
