Slow and steady...

[Oldfloss]

As ever, the mantra of many of us... today.. slow and steady.. a gentle 8K.. getting back to it, after the incident of the broken ribs!

10K.. I will return...Nice to be back on the path

[Mollydex]

Well done old floss , you have done so well in your " come back " I think you more or less have that 10 k in the bag

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Mollydex]

Hope so...did it before..so....🙂

[PippiRuns]

you will re-graduate 10k any day now

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to PippiRuns]

Hope so Iben....just feeling a tad.......oldish today...but this snail keeps going 🙂

[PippiRuns in reply to Oldfloss]

We can't be hares every day! Snailrunning is good. I sort of miss it. I ran earlier this evening and now I am really sore in my upper right thigh and groin area in the same side. Ouch!

We ran 11 k including 5x1 minute very fast intervals... I think the combination of a long distance and high speed may have been more than I should have taken on...

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to PippiRuns]

We certainly cannot ! Well done you on that long run!

It sounds exciting! Just go steady...no more injuries needed for any of us !

[McFitty]

You are such an inspiration Floss. I would never have put the words 'gentle' and '8k' in the same sentence! I hope I'll be able to one day

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to McFitty]

You certainly will get there...you have proved you can do anything you choose to...

Main thing, for me, is just to take it steady and see what happens really

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Nice one, Oldfloss! That 10k marker is in your sight - you are back and fabulous and I am so pleased for you!🙂🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks I am getting back to it.. takes a while, but the old legs are still pumping!

[aliboo70 Graduate10]

You're nearly there already flossy! You are officially amazing! Well done that girl😊😆

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to aliboo70]

Thank you.... I am getting there Ali.. slow and steady is still the way!

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate10]

You have come back so quickly! You'll be running marathons by the end of the year!

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Tee..heee.. I think that could take a tad longer..but who knows... ! Stranger things and all that :)x

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Ha - you didn't say no! I knew it😈

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

You know me so well... I always think I just want to poddle on where I am.. and then.....and then i think, maybe, maybe...

Did you see Bazza1234 's post with the song, Mama don't let your babies grow up to be runners...?

There is a line that goes, "It all starts with a simple 5K...".. and it's true it does... and where it leads to.. goodness...

[davelinks Graduate10]

There you go young floss!😁 I knew it wouldn't be long before you're back on track! well, path or trail X😊

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to davelinks]

Love to you and Mrs Dave... she will soon be on the way again too! x

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Hopfully I too shall be able to put gentle and 8k in the same sentence one day. Not soon, at the current rate of going, but one day...

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

You will.. things that seem unattainable.. well we amaze ourselves! Go you!x

[Hidden]

I'm also working back up to 10k, couple of slow 7ks under my belt but have had few days break recovering from yet another bug... so still feel a way off from 8k. Congrats on getting there oldfloss

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

All slow and steady.. these setbacks.. are a pest..but we are made of strong stuff! Hang in there and keep it gentle xxx

[Anniemurph Graduate10]

Ribs are so sore and affect so much of your movement. Well done for your comeback! SLow and steady is great, and 8k is wonderful You will be back at 10k before you know it, no problem.

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Anniemurph]

Hope so... I just keep putting one foot in front of the other... it works ! xx

[Davoda Graduate10]
