Brilliant!!! And yep, there are some woods near me that in normal times I wouldn’t run there alone during the week, weekends were fine. Yep, and I think we’re all learning the art of patience as there’s no point stressing about it all! Happy days 🙂

It was lovely, thank you: we stayed safe and we got to run on some secluded traily bits we both won’t go down on our own. When we had encounters with people and had to step aside or wait, it was FAR better with two of us there somehow, more something to go grrrr about than something to be upset by.

I hope you had a great run and a catch up. And yes, I get entirely that the idea of being able to go out more than once a day is important. Thankfully lots of quiet streets around me so it’s comfortable to do.
And yes, it is too close to home. And it’s sad and infuriating, and a reminder of why we need to continue with lockdown.

I’m about to go on my first run with another person – we’re both v careful, neither has even been near someone who we know has the virus, and we’ll keep our distance. I’m excited but nervous.

Lillian Mudzivare, the other healthcare worker who died in Birmingham recently, was on my friend Jo’s new team, although she never got to meet her as she was already ill when she took over. Too close to home again. Thank you for honouring our victims.

And I’m glad going out little and often is helping. I’ve not actually done that bit yet; it seems enough to know I can, if that makes sense?
