Oooh you run? *changes image of Console in her head*

[Console]

Yeah, pretty much every morning, although saying that I only went running twice last week (bad foot).

[S4B]

Aww what had you done to your foot? Or were you remonstrating with Mr Loose?

[Console]

Sprained ankle, I got my foot caught in an annoying little hole while running. What made it worse is that it was raining and I fell into the mud - what fun!

[S4B]

Oh dear, covered in mud fighting with an annoying little hole. See proves my point that running is bad for you!

*has another new picture of Console in her head*

[Console]

See proves my point that running is bad for you!

There are some days when I would very much agree with you, but it was very nice this morning, the sun was shining and the birds were singing and the air was at that very nice temperature where the cold was just starting to bite at you and when you breath in (which you do a lot while running) you can feel it reach into every nook and cranny of your lungs.

[S4B]

I can understand why that would be nice, walking would be nicer though you can take in your surroundings better.

[Console]

I know the surroundings quite well, I've been running for quite a while. I didn't always run either, I started off at a slow jog (which invariably led to me walking back, completely exhausted), and built up to running.

[S4B]

Ahhhh find a new route then. Variety is, after all, the spice of life.

[Console]

I don't have a set route anymore; I used to run a really complicated zig-zag through all of the alleyways and underpasses around where I live, but now I just run any old route. Sometimes I just run as far as I can in a single direction until I'm too tired to go any further and then walk back. It's actually quite interesting sometimes, you can find all sorts of shortcuts and little hide-away areas that you never knew existed.

[S4B]

Sounds like fun, I live in a village outside Peterborough so we have loads of woods and fields to walk through which is nice with all the wildlife there is to see.

[Console]

Well I live in 'The Worlds First Garden City', so I have plenty of parks and mini-forest to run through and explore - quite a few fields as well actually, they're not so fun - a bit boring, especially at this time of year.

[S4B]

I love exploring the woods, cheers me up no end.

[Console]

Exploring woods can be fun, but it was in a particular wood that my foot happened to find a certain hole, so I'm staying out of them for the time being. My foot hasn't properly healed yet, so I'm sticking to flat paths for now, or at least as flat as the council workers can make the paths round here, anyway.

[S4B]

Don't blame you to be honest.

[MK Chris]

I'm sure Console has mentioned he runs every morning on numerous occasions before.

I need to start going to the gym before work again.

[S4B]

Well I'd never noticed if he had said. What's up with you? You seem tetchy.

[MK Chris]

I'm not tetchy, I'm just saying I think it's been mentioned before.

[Vivienne]

Yeh, it has been mentioned... like about 100 times.
