Still hanging in there

[SandieF]

I haven’t posted for quite a while. Nothing to say really, other than whinge & moan about the heat. So I thought I’d just pop in to say I’m still here, reading and enjoying all your posts. I know it has affected us all, I find it practically impossible to run in the heat. I tried the treadmill at the gym and that was almost as bad.

I have managed 1 or 2 runs a week, not great. I even managed 5k last week but instead of feeling triumphant I was thoroughly disappointed. Having to walk a few times my time was 44 minutes. relive.cc/view/h10000880819 My relive run

So I have decided, now it seems to be getting a little cooler, although humidity was 81% this morning, I am going back to consolidation runs. My 1st 30 minute run this morning (unfortunately with a 90 second walk half way through) was ok’ish. There is no rush for me to reach any goals, I shall just carry on taking it slow and enjoy it until the day I feel ready for ju-ju’s b210k, which I will, one day haha

So carry on running and I’ll carry on reading your fab & motivational posts!

Roll on autumn! 😂

Dance to the beat of your drum. This is your Running, no one else’s. Do what works for you so that you continue enjoying it x

[SandieF in reply to Jay66UK]

That’s the plan. Just as long as I keep getting out there I’m doing more than those still on the couch haha

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to SandieF]

I know I’m going to reach a point where going further isn’t fun so I’ll stop trying to.

At the moment I think it’s likely to be just the other side of 10k but a way before HM.

I’ll find a longer run I enjoy and do that each weekend with a 4k and 5k in the week.

Enjoy it x

You must feel great just to be able to say ‘the other side of 10k’! I know it’s a few weeks off for you yet but I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever you will do it...in style! 👍

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to SandieF]

Plan is weekend after next 😱

[SandieF in reply to Jay66UK]

Good luck! I have every faith 👍
