A rest day walk

[SueAppleRun]

Will someone please tell me legs they aren't running today? They so want to. A friend came for a visit this morning and we went for a walk round the park so I thought I'd put it here with a photo.

I know that one me tonight at walking group legs we are walking 😂

[SueAppleRun in reply to BGood]

It would have been so rude to run off and leave my friend walking wouldn't it? 🤣

[BGood in reply to SueAppleRun]

so true

[Jools2020]

I really wanted to run this morning after 2 rest days! But I’m running tonight with the group 🙄

Have to leave in 3.5 hours - perhaps I should get my running clothes on 🤣

[SueAppleRun in reply to Jools2020]

Ha ha it does to be ready. Hope you enjoyed it

[Jools2020 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I loved it!

[PeggySusi]

Lovely photo, and it looks to me like a good place to walk with a friend and absorb the scenery while you chat..😊

[SueAppleRun in reply to PeggySusi]

Yes it is, there's also a huge playground and she's thinking of going with granddaughter in school holidays, so wanted to check it out. It's where I walk with my neighbour sometimes and ran C25k so a favourite of mine, they've revamped it and there's a cafe built and opening soon. But more important than any of that how are you doing??

[PeggySusi in reply to SueAppleRun]

I’m surviving, thank you for asking. It’s been a tough few weeks actually.. nothing tragic.. just a bit challenging. As the foot pain receded after the surgery my migraine/tummy/bowel issues seemed to increase, and then I developed some sort of hideous allergy, a bit like nettle rash all over my arms, legs and neck. I’ve had very disturbed sleep and felt exhausted and sorry for myself. To top it off I had 5 friends staying last weekend for a school reunion.. it was fun in the end, but not the best timing..😂

I’m hoping things will improve from now on.. I have a bit more energy today. The rash is still very visible, but the frantic itching has subsided. I’m at the foot hospital tomorrow. The toe pin should come out if all goes to plan, then I can lose the surgical sandal and learn to walk normally, and drive again soon. Seeing the GP Thursday re tummy and rash, and prosthetist next Wednesday. Fingers crossed for walking the dog in August and enough energy to start Couchto5k again by the end of September🤞😊

[SueAppleRun in reply to PeggySusi]

Oh my! You have been through so much, but positive. Hoping all goes smoothly and I will take the virtual you to Parkrun on Saturday and send a photo of the sea x

[PeggySusi in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you! I’ll look forward to seeing that.. hope you have fun at the park run, and better weather than we have here today.. persistent drizzle at the moment, so at least I’m not wishing I was out in it today 😂

[SueAppleRun in reply to PeggySusi]

I sent you a picture but it went to bottom of comments

[PeggySusi in reply to SueAppleRun]

Beautiful.. I love willows.. I bought this one in my garden as a tiny seedling for 99p from a supermarket.. a few years ago

[SueAppleRun in reply to PeggySusi]

Wow, that's stunning 🤩

[Gthants]

It's mid afternoon and I've not even exercised yet, let alone walked! Running may be tomorrow. Possibly.

[SueAppleRun in reply to Gthants]

I'll run virtually with you tomorrow 😃

[Gthants in reply to SueAppleRun]

Oh! THIS is what I will do from now on! When someone asks if I've run today, I'll say - "YES!" And then I'll mutter, Sotto voce, "virtually..." 🤣

[SueAppleRun in reply to Gthants]

He he he 🤣

At least it’s dry for a walk. It will feel strange to u not running. I was out as well on a 5 km walk river very big after all the rain we have had, after that back to some weeding. 😊

[SueAppleRun in reply to Doris8]

Ah weeding! I should weed or paint, but going to the dog field later so might sit

[AlMorr 1000miles per year]

Nice walk for you today with your friend Sue, that photo reminds me where I also walk, run and bike ride, I do agree, it wouldn't have been good if you had left your friend and gone for a run.

[SueAppleRun in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Al,

[SueAppleRun]

My favourite willow tree

[Jools2020 in reply to SueAppleRun]

that’s a lovely pic!

[SueAppleRun in reply to Jools2020]

We can walk there when you come, the cafe will be open by then so after parkrun breakfast

[Jools2020 in reply to SueAppleRun]

sounds perfect!

[Oldgirlruns]

Love a picture with water in it! Walking with a friend is always a Good Thing and your legs will be all the better for an extra rest!

[SueAppleRun in reply to Oldgirlruns]

They will, and a 5k Jeff tomorrow morning, in preparation for Saturday

What a beautiful photo

[SueAppleRun in reply to Wine]

Thanks

[Folkylass]

Beautiful photo and I imagine a lovely walk. Good for you Sue. Keep getting stronger🥰x

[SueAppleRun in reply to Folkylass]

I've had 3 short walks today but my legs still want to run, silly things

[Killerblue]

How wonderful to have that feeling that you want to go and run 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ I do remember that from quite a while ago - feeling excited when in bed thinking about getting up the next morning to run again 👌 I did like that but that feeling has eluded me and doesn’t seem to want to come back at the moment 🙄😊 hey ho

Lovely photo 👍

[SueAppleRun in reply to Killerblue]

Oh no 😮 although I've had times when that feeling isn't there, this morning I set off with excitement and my new fully charged (I thought) headphones which ran out of charge 4 minutes into the warm up walk, so I turned round walked back, put them on charge and now going to read for awhile and have another go but the urge to run is wearing off 🙇I will go out a bit later

[CBDB Administrator]

Awwhhh, your legs are taking you and friend out for a walk! 😃😊👏👏👍🏽

[SueAppleRun in reply to CBDB]

My legs have had enough today after the hills
