8th Aussie run a day early

[BaddieThePirate]

I'm not able to run tomorrow as I'll be travelling, so I ran today. It was hillier but I was still slower than I would normally expect. I think this is a good thing as I don't normally run on consecutive days. I used the same C25K+ podcast which plays music where you run to the beat, and speeds you up gradually. I love this podcast, but maybe it's time to try a new one next time...

Despite the hill it worked again and each split is faster than the last one.🙃 I'm happy that I'm on track and running 3 times a week. Not sure I'll be able to keep this up when I get back to winter though...

Nicely done Baddie! It’ll be tougher when you return to winter but you’ve got a great foundation... you’ll do it; no worries!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

When I get back I might have to go running to get warm...

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

There you go! That's a plan 😁

Apart from the odd gale, freezing temperatures on a handful of days and torrential rain occasionally it has been pretty mild so far. This is my first running winter so I haven’t experienced snow or sub zero temperatures yet, so maybe I have a rosy view! Great run by the way😊👏🥇🥇

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

I managed to fall over just crossing the car park last winter (black ice) and smash my wrist up badly so I'm not very braved about running in winter conditions. I hope it's mild when I get back!

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Tricky stuff black ice! I ended up with a spinal fracture after doing a Fosbury flop in the car park on black ice at the end of November last year. But that is what started me running as soon as I recovered....sitting around getting old seemed to be the only alternative!! Hopefully we will avoid a deep freeze😊🥶

Ouch! Fully heeled now? Did they DEXA scan you? Calcium and Vit D pills and weight bearing/high impact exercise is my drill. I may add magnesium to that list.

Happy running🙃

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Sorry wasn't talking about your shoes... fully healed now?

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Yes it is as good as new thanks. They did do a bone density scan (because I hadn't fallen from a height) but the results were fine. The fall was more like an ill timed back flip landing on my back at about shoulder blade height (T4). Still, ill wind eh? I can run now and I know I don't have osteoporosis!!😊

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

Phew, glad you survived that with no long term effects. Very lucky!

[Katnap Graduate10]

Good idea fitting in a run ahead of plan.

Enjoy your rest day(s)! 😸

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Thanks, I'll be sitting on a train for most of tomorrow so will be relaxed 🙃

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Time for a cat nap or two! 😸

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Oh yes! I've finished my book🙃

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Awesome!

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Where are you heading to next Baddie?

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Rockhampton 🙃

[Razouski]

Great run, and it's good to remember those C25K+ podcasts.

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Very impressive negative splits Baddie!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

All down to the podcast, whichout which the times would be reversed🙃

[JonathanP Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

I keep meaning to give it a try.....
