Still Standing

This afternoon Mr J and I went for a run in the park. To date I have refused to go running with Mr J for several reasons. 1. He is much fitter than me and does not regard my body combat classes as proper exercise. 2. I don't much enjoy running. 3. I always imagine innocent bystanders are watching me go by (or more specifially my wobbling bum go by) with amusement / pity / horror.

Anyway I agreed to go. I need the free exercise. I cannot afford the number of gym classes required to balance out the cake calories I take in. It was hell. But Mr J declared that I " did really well" . We are going again tomorrow apparently and I will be running to the next bend. I think he has found himself a new project.

I took the photo whilst he was away on his follow up 'proper' run. Quite a few trees in the park were felled by Tuesday's storm. So it was nice to see these two looking majestic in the setting sun.
