Things can only get better !!

19 Replies

I was hoping to inform that normal service had been resumed running wise but alas it has not been so..

It has been a real struggle to get out there, the confidence and slight swagger hiding in the shadows,to many false dawns ... it was easier not to run so that is what I did again..

I am now managing to get back out there, nothing major for now slowly building back up.. I think the better weather and expanded waistline did the trick.. we will see If this is to be a sustained return .I feel it us that is the main thing ...

As Laura says , you can do this !!!

Hoping all us good with you all and you are being good to yourselves and the running God's are smiling down on you 😊

So glad you are here with us again Rob...:)

Just go with it... as ever, slow and steady...:)

You will get there, so try to be kind to yourself, and enjoy the journey you are making back to where you want to be. Carry your successes with you, but leave the setbacks at the side of your running path:)

You know I love my quotes.. and I do love this one...

“If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.”

Hope you rediscover your swagger! Maybe start slowly, I found run-walking was good for me when I regained confidence after a mystery calf pain kept stopping me. I would run for a while, then walk, it allowed me to enjoy the running bits again and recover. Got right back on track doing this

Nice to see you back again Rob - slow is fine, you know that on here, and our mojo often wanders off and hides under the couch. Well done for getting back out there :)

Well done Rob x I've been on and off running over the year, more 'on' than not recently due to an impending 10k race in May.

It's good to know you can get back to it, long-term aspects have to allow for the natural ebbs and flows of life.

Good luck 🏃🏃🏃

Glad to see you back, Rob! Slowly but surely, one day at a time... running in the sunshine is much more motivating, you'll soon be back in the running groove :)
