Life in pictures - mid March

My 'gym' - I've taken up running and Blackpool seafront offers me a free space to run in the evenings
I realised that life is passing me by and sometimes its easy to forget to look up from the desk or the daily commute  to see what is happening in the world around me. So I am trying to take at least a picture a day. 
We've experienced all the seasons in the past few weeks, caught this seagull ice skating a few weeks ago

Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope. RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

My new obsession

A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat. But I've caught the running bug! This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run!
