Let me paint you a picture!

Joggers, socks, running pants, sports bra, long sleeve Tee, short sleeve Tee, bright yellow jacket, scarf, gloves, headband over ears to keep ears warm, cap. Truely the first time in my life I have felt & looked like a Nanna. Off to runners club training I go. When I get there I am stunned by the amount of little 'Chippies' prancing around wearing next to nothing. They go flying by me, chatting, running, seemingly effortless... while I huff and puff my way round the track in my Nanna outfit..

Then as I find my rhythm and start to strip off I notice something very interesting... The little 'Chippies' are no longer running and prancing but are walking more than they are running.. Nanna here is still going strong... I might be slow but I can run for longer. Thats when the chest goes out and I pick up the pace and complete the last 6 laps of the session at a really good pace.

Nanna versus Chippy - Nanna wins and goes home with a huge smile on her face...

Daily quote: Never doubt your inner Nanna...xxxx
