Back to regular 5ks at last and feeling so much better. Have even taken Garmy (my Garmin) with me the last few times. Initially pretty slow ๐Ÿ˜ฎ but getting faster each time now and today's run was one of those where you just feel FINE!๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ I love the cooler weather too and cannot wait for those blowy autumn days ahead! My plan is to stick with 5ks for a little longer before getting back to my weekend long runs. It has been a slog at times following my injury, but boy, does it feel good to be back! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Happy running! ๐Ÿ™‚

Great, fantastic that you are getting back to regular runs. The longer runs will come - you are sure to love those๐Ÿ˜€

It definitely feels "just right" temperature-wise out there. Good to hear it's all going to plan now :)

Oh dear Sandra what been going on? Good to hear your on the mend! Just checked in to see what's happening as I haven't been on here for a while, as the teacher would say must do better! Hope the injury wasn't too bad, sensible to build up gradually glad to see my t hasn't put you off running. Have a lovely weekend. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Nasty virus...lots of coughing...put my back out ....sciatica....resulting in nerve damage to my leg!! Couldn't walk properly for a while let alone run!๐Ÿ™ Had some great physio but this one has been mainly down to time, and nerves are SLOW to repair! My running gait is still not quite back to normal but pretty close now!! But you know how it is Frank - never give up the dream! No Great South Run this year but hopefully be back to 10Ks for the autumn as I have spotted a few local races and would love to do one or two! "These things are sent to try us'!๐Ÿ˜‰ Good to hear from you, hope you are keeping well?๐Ÿ™‚
