These bloody storms

[Terimanning25]

So today after labyrinthitis and a bad neck I finally cracked the 8km!!! Threw myself as my app was in miles and had to seek a conversion on my internet 😂 Didn't feel too bad and storm Eleanor really wanted to test me! But the more she blew, the faster I went! Feeling super happy

I've been listening to the wind saying to myself I really should run tonight 😂 Well done on your 8k that's awesome 👏

[Terimanning25 in reply to Cornet-Carolyn]

It's strong but buff on and I felt better.., I felt like a storm ninja 😂

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate10 in reply to Terimanning25]

😂

[Terimanning25 in reply to Cornet-Carolyn]

Just be safe... bins and all sorts had been blown over... weaker than it was earlier though x

[Mimirossi Graduate10 in reply to Terimanning25]

Buffs are the best things ever!!

[Terimanning25 in reply to Mimirossi]

It was the first time I used one... and I think I will get a few more x

[Fishypieface Graduate10]

Well done you that's brilliant! I'm having a bit of trouble getting there, my leg is playing up, but I hope to be joining you soon.... fingers crossed! Not long to the big 10k, good luck getting there

[Terimanning25 in reply to Fishypieface]

Thank you... I was ill and dosed up on painkillers so have taken a break from bridge to 10k... get that leg better or you will make it worse and hamper yourself long term... hope you can get back on it soon... good luck to you too x

[Fishypieface Graduate10 in reply to Terimanning25]

Oh yes, your shoulder/neck? - all better now then? That's good. I'm doing a couple of test 5ks before I try for the 8 - but I'll hold off if in doubt. These things are sent to try us, but actually I learned quite a bit from having to take a break in running so all good

[Terimanning25 in reply to Fishypieface]

Yeah a lot better... it was solid and in spasm but it seems to have eased... nothing too strenuous on the neck or I will do it out again.., I didn't think I would make it tonight but so glad I did... like you say things try us... we just have to respond and deal with it x

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10]

Yay! Well done! Glad you're feeling better and got a great run in, 8k ✅

[Terimanning25 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

I will get that 10k... I am determined and I love the longer runs as I can just disconnect from the world and focus on my feet 😁

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to Terimanning25]

I hear you! That is exactly how I feel. I get lost in my thoughts and music. I find I'm just getting into my groove by 5k and am disappointed if that is all scheduled for the day and have to stop (which was my run today)

[Terimanning25 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Glad it's not just me... running is my space from the kids and my partner and is the only time they aren't going on at me 😂👍

[Hillrunner2201]

Well done for getting out there in the wind and rain. Stormy runs are sometimes the best 🤣👏

[Terimanning25 in reply to Hillrunner2201]

I had no rain last night, just wind... I did a shorter run in the rain and wind on Sunday and I have to say I am inclined to agree... I enjoy the challenges 😁

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Well done.

[Fionn42]

Fantastic and inspirational! Well done you. I am sitting listening to the wind outside now and wondering whether to go for a run - might just jolly well go and do it now, thanks to you! 😁

[Terimanning25 in reply to Fionn42]

DO IT!!! 😁😁😁

[Fionn42 in reply to Terimanning25]

DONE IT!!!😁😁😁🤸🏼‍♀️

[Terimanning25 in reply to Fionn42]

Good... bet it weren't half as bad as you expected

[Fionn42 in reply to Terimanning25]

So true and the mug of coffee and two croissants I’ve just wolfed down never tasted better either!

[Terimanning25 in reply to Fionn42]

I bet... well done 😁👍🎉

[HeleneCorsa Graduate10]

Well done on your 8k! Glad the storms are calming down (but stay safe anyway).

[scotinexile]

Well done you for getting out there. I have not been able to run since Christmas Eve! Fed up with everything, including myself. Also have a bad neck but will try to run tomorrow morning if the wind dies a bit. Got some physio lined up at the hospital on Monday next. I'm nowhere near 8k yet.

[Terimanning25 in reply to scotinexile]

I feel your pain with the neck... mine was agony! Don't compare yourself to anyone- running is your own personal journey and you can only do your best... I felt down on myself when I was comparing myself to others... now I am doing my own challenges and running for me- I couldn't be happier 😁
