Too fat to run now

I don't believe that all people should be happy with what they find though Tippy. There are some bad sorts out there. 
But I get the general sentiment.

Now as for the doggy picture - I need to swap the outfit for waders and rain-hats for my dawgs! 

Noooooo, don't zip-it Tippy!

Twas fun! You need to do it more often.

You boys been up to something?!

I'm still in the sick-bag unfortunately 
It's really snot fair.

(grabs, blanket and dones gloves)

Limper i popped in to RE's  Gym (fitness centre) yesterday.

1st got roped into a suspension class (it is fun and taxing)

2nd did body pump 

Loved both and had a great time with RE's other play mates

I've been to my gym this morning...
Resistance  - pushing a loaded wheelbarrow through the mud
Weights - lifting hay-bales out of the hay-loft (I'm only iccle)
Endurance - up and down the yard (with wheelbarrow) several times 
Free work - chasing dawgs / being chased (with brooms)

Now bring that blankie over here Tippy. I need wrapping up and cuddling and generally being looked after. Leave the rubber gloves off though - they're really not my thing

Limper like it.

Hehe Limper - who needs gyms eh?!

What's a suspension class? Mind bogles!!  Is it like a TRX thing?

I've really struggled to get myself out for my run this week.  Finally got out yesterday to be confronted with a flooded lake and a unpassable path!  Went today in the end and did my 3.8miles as planned.  44 minutes - so average of about 11.5min/mile which whilst I accept isn't fast is a pace I am happy with  It was a major battle from the word go though and I had to just push on throught it.

Certainly wasn't a 'I love running' day!!

Ally - that is a tremendous distance to be running and a respectable speed. You should be very pleased with yourself. I always like to think that the days when it is tougher are an even greater achievement than the 'I love running' days.

Enjoy your weekend Speedy.

I can't believe that I am still poorly sick. I hate to think what a bug like this would do to  someone who is frail.
I don't think I'm going to be getting my Eagle-hug next weekend  

What is TRX?
 

Bleaurgh 

Still, it's actually a reasonably nice day out. That's always a bonus.
I shall go and do my 'gym' session and appreciate getting some fresh air (part way) in to my poor knackered lungs.

Hope you all have a lovely day.

BTW - Ally... isn't it Amelia's Happyday around now? I have it in my head (a strange place to be sure) that she was near but not on Valentines? I could be a whole 6 months out though, as I have been with Tippy's and my best friend's for the last couple of years!

Hope you are feeling better for a bit of sunshine Limper.

I am feeling quite pleased with myself. Went out on Friday and again today for 30 mins walk/run intervals. Really enjoyed it and am getting my confidence back. Excited about my next session on Tuesday when I will increase run intervals a bit.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement, it has really helped.

Keep it up Dr Fish.
