Summer is coming and I am excited, I have had the urge to take up running (or let’s be honest, jogging to start with!) for some time now but did not feel like braving the cold and unpredictable UK weather — plus the best time for me to go out and do it is around 8pm and I would rather not run in the dark, so I have been waiting for the nights to start getting longer and the weather to start getting better.

I am also going to start going on long walks up hills and mountains and all that business with my friend, she has a ‘walking group’ that goes out every other weekend that she keeps inviting me along to. I don’t know any of the other people in the group though so always passed even though I quite fancied now — now I have decided what the heck, what’s the worst that will happen? I may even make some new friends along the way.

I am going to need to save my pennies though as I will need decent running shoes as well as some heavy duty walking boots and probably 101 other things I have not thought about yet.

I have discovered over the last year or so since becoming a fitness freak, that it really isn’t a cheap hobby — after all the machines, accessories, clothing and DVDs I have bought I probably could have just paid to get a little nip tuck instead, heh.

Roll on summer baby!
