Aww thanks Claire. Any tips would be gratefully received x

Thanks Claire. Any tips for running in the dark or running in the friggin wind and rain hehe?! Hope I can be a runner too someday soon...
You're so right Laura, I find it hard to motivate myself to do it but once I do it I feel good about it... I dunno!!

I actually prefer to run in the dark, draws less attention .. I always keep to main lit up roads ... Rain running is not nice but I wear a hoody, hat and gloves and that keeps me toasty .. And my favourite main ingredient for a run - cheesy music on the pod =)

Aww, that nice of him It must be nice to have a supportive OH... mine doesn't mind sitting in front of me scoffin apple pie n ice cream (the most recent thing he ate in front of me)...

 

[NeedsMotivation]

ohh he does that as well, hes just had 2 slices of toast and i had 2 crispbread but he did stop me going back to gregs for another festive slice yesterday and i was so pleased he did when i found out they was 13pp each. His motto is the more of the junk he eats the less there is for me
