Admin- is my profile pic showing?

[Sandraj39]

Can't see my weight lifting guinea-pig on the iPad just recently. Can anyone else?

[linda9389 Graduate10]

I can see it on my laptop

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda - maybe something to do with my iPad then.🙂

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

I can see it on my phone too but I think that's still the internet version rather than the app. Would be the same on my ipad but i can check

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

I am viewing it via Safari on my iPad rather than the App. Maybe I should just download the app!!🙂

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

i can see it on my ipad using chrome

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

How are you doing today Linda? Hope you have recovered ok?🙂

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

I'm ok thanks apart from two blisters on the end of my toes which I have never had before. And my head is still struggling - I felt as flat as a pancake when I finished, and still do. Didn't enjoy. Didn't get any sort of buzz, not even at the end. And I still don't feel anything. Really odd. How are you today?

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Oh, I am so sorry to read that - but remember you had been unwell - do you think this could have anything to do with it? I guess these big events are not for everyone. I am good today - I am on half term as I work in a school. Rest up well now, you proved to yourself you could do it Linda, so huge well done. 🙂Take care x

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

I will get round to posting cos I'm interested if anyone else has felt the same. It could just be I'm thoroughly worn out. Who knows. If I understood it would be easier cos then I would know what to fix. I beat my pre sickness time target, why am I not over the moon? Hey ho.

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

..maybe as your body recovers, you will feel the love! 🙂x

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Sorry to hear that Linda, could you be dehydrated maybe, it was very warm for the time of year?

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

That's another possibility. I was certainly thirsty for forever! By the way, I do hope you and UTS haven't taken any offence to my comments about being underwhelmed by the support at GSR - I just somehow missed what was around me, wallowing in my own bubble Every now and again a voice or a cheer or a comment would break through and it really did make the difference in the moment. I will never, ever forget the little boy who very reverently asked his mum 'are you allowed to walk' in the sort of voice usually reserved for teachers and headmasters! It did make me chuckle, albeit guiltily!

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

No offence taken Linda. Anyone who undertakes 10 miles has our total admiration, which is why we always support it, whatever the weather. There were lots of people collapsing in the unusual temperatures on Sunday and for some unknown reason they didn’t have the run through showers at half way point. Even those who have done it before found it tough.

You can always rely on kids to say it as they see it, totally unaware of what 10 miles is. 😂😂

Did you record and watch the tv programme ? That might help you appreciate what you achieved.

UTS has just signed up for next year - it will probably pour down!

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I did watch it on tv on Monday to catch up on what I missed! I was actually really ill Monday night and took yesterday off work all day (unheard of as I'm self employed so no work, no money; I worked all through shingles) - possibly I was already coming down with the tummy bug on Sunday. Who knows! I'm feeling muh better about the whole thing now, though not enough to sign up again next year - I saw UTS has made his entry already, good on him (all that talk of the usual headwind in the last 2 miles - which I was blissfully unaware of when I entered this year - has seriously put me off the idea of entering again without an accurate weather forecast first ) . Good luck UTS!

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Yes my nurse told me she’d signed up as the first 1000 get a discount. So UTS did the same! I will be holding back - maybe 10k on Saturday before

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Ah you've got lots of time to change your mind - you'll be worth every penny of the full price entry if you decide to go for the 10 miles this time next year - oodles of training days! I just saw I have a whole 150 days til my HM - sounds like ages too!

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

i think I can also see it in safari on my ipad

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10]

Yup, I can see the wee fella 👍🏋️‍♂️

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

He’s showing up on my iPad. Love him! 😅

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

I can see him on the iPhone app and safari

[AnnieW55]

Yes, he’s there now on my iPad - had missed him though.

[Goforitmama Graduate10]

I see him too, iPad with safari, he’s so cute!

[davelinks Graduate10]

Yep, he's been holding that bar up for a long time now!😁

[Walshy3 Graduate10]

[Michelleahodgson]

Yes...it’s there👍🏻

[Razouski]
