A happy, gentle 10k...(knees seem happier too!πŸ™‚)

What a beautiful day for running yesterday was! After a couple of hours decorating in the bathroom, I headed out on my favourite run route, a lot of which is part of old railway line (now a beautiful bridlewayπŸ™‚). After my recent knees issues, my only plan was to 'enjoy the view' and keep my pace slow. It worked a treat, and I was pleased that any niggles I felt at times were minor. This route has options for many different distances and by about 6k, I knew that all was good to carry on, so in the end my first 10k in a month and all feels good this morning. Fingers crossed, I am back in the game again - my weekend 10k run is always my favourite run of the week - I guess it's all those endorphins?! Happy running today everyone.πŸ™‚

Ooh la la. What a lovely sounding run Sandra. Nice and soft on the knees and things to keep your mind occupied. Another glass of wine deserved. 🍷

Whoops a grey moment there . I mixed up you and Sandie. Cake and chocolate are becoming my preferred alternative too, and you don’t get you a hangover either

Getting there. A lovely 8K at the weekend so hopefully 10K next πŸ™‚

Well done Sandra, that sounds nice. We have to take care of our knees - they're the only two we've got. Enjoy the next run .
