Usually we cover that much but in shorter periods.Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-155160198352515902012-05-02T22:01:18.395+02:002012-05-02T22:01:18.395+02:00Ah Ines, "power to your elbow" - or your...Ah Ines, "power to your elbow" - or your feet, rather! By which I mean good on you for taking up running in this pretty darn systematic manner! When I was in my 30s I used to run regularly and got up to 10km at one point. Maybe I should get out there again and see if I could manage even a short distance...Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-28119294231950012702012-04-21T14:17:18.461+02:002012-04-21T14:17:18.461+02:00Thanks Undina!

I would like a similar program, because I can never convince myself to start running alone - too boring.<br />If I am not impolite, what do you consider a nice running/exersising perfume?

And you describe the joys (and the aches) honestly and perfectly.<br /><br />May I ask how many miles or kilometers they have you putting in at this stage -- and when they think you'll be ready for a half-marathon? I think that's quite ambitious ... just doing ten miles every couple weeks wears me out and I'm always so happy to return to five the next day.Suzannehttp://www.eiderdownpress.com/Perfume_Journal.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
