I could run on the foot path but (here come the excuses) I have bad knees & trouble with my right hip so I find the concrete too jarring, plus I don't like exercising in public (sounds stupid but have a fear of people laughing at me) Exercising in the evening is a possibility but I always have less energy & don't get the same results. Being on this thread is making me wish I had someone to train with. Maybe I can convince DP to get a dog??
