Greetings from the Misty Isle........6 months since my last post!!

[skysue16]

Since December I have been troubled with a niggly ankle. After seeing doctor, x-Ray and physio tendonitis was diagnosed. Walking and normal everyday things are fine but as soon as I twist or bend/crouch it is an ouch 😕 So no running for weeks only walking and daily stretches, but now I am allowed to jog a little as well as daily, more taxing stretches! I use an interval timer to walk 90 secs and jog 60 secs repeated ten times. I am happy to be running (well sort of!) again and looking forward to starting C25k when I am allowed. Mr Squiggs is getting used to the intervals and even recognises the chime to indicate it is time to slow down, clever doggie 🐾🐾🐶. I am also training him not to pull, because it hurts my ankle, but it is tricky because he loves to pull!

It is great to read all the posts and see lovely photos. Happy running everyone 😊

I like his haircut good luck with your slow return. Sounds like a plan 👍

Thanks Paul....slowly but surely. Regarding the hair cut - you may notice it looks a bit 'untidy'. I had a go at clipping him myself , in between visiting the professional groomer. Should have gone to Specsavers!!😉

😆😆😆

Bella was due at the groomer’s tomorrow, but it’s had to be cancelled as the groomer’s son got attacked last week 😦

Only just seen your reply, sorry! How awful.....

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Great to see you back posting on here skysue16 , sounds like it has been a frustrating time. Really glad that you are slowly getting back to running again - take it easy and lots of luck!🙂

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you Sandra, yes it is very frustrating but at least I can now enjoy a little jog 😀

Lovely to have you back here with us and what a super photograph!

You have been having a rough time..it must be great to just be out and running even for a short time... lovely Mr Squiggs helping put too.

Take it steady my friend x

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you, it is good to be able to 'get out there ', feeling rather unfit though! Definitely steady, don't worry😉

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

You and me both..steady is good...😊

Welcome back - lovely photo. Glad things are heading in the right direction, must have been very frustrating.

[skysue16 Graduate10]

Squiggy's ears look rather strange, they were blowing in the wind! Couldn't see the mountains - low cloud yesterday.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Woohoo!

We’ve missed you. Glad you’re back. 😍

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Thank you, how kind. Hopefully will be posting progress on C25k forum - once I can get started!

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

Fab photo! 😃

Sorry to hear that you have been having such a frustrating time & glad to see you reappear. Wishing you good recovery. 😄

I was thinking of you lots a few weeks ago when we were on holiday in Durness- I waved to you from on my bike at Cape Wrath!!😂

[skysue16 Graduate10]

Ah, thank you for thinking of me - how kind 😀 I'm giving you a wave back! 👋 I hope you had a good holiday?

[Elfe5 60minGraduate in reply to skysue16]

We did thanks. We love the Highlands - best place on earth in May/ June. 😃

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

September is beautiful too! Glad you had a good time 😊

Hi Sue, sorry to hear of your prolonged spell on the ic, but its good to hear things are moving forwards again.

You had some lovely long runs before this all happened, you know you can build back up again.

Look forward to hearing how you progress.

Hug to Mr Squiggs🐕 and you😊x

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thank you very much for your best wishes. Yes, looking forward to gradually building up to the lovely long runs I used to love. Unfortunately fell over Squiggy's lead this afternoon so now my hand is aching and will no doubt be all bruised in the morning! 😁
