Finally went out...

[Jundal]

Managed a little run of 2.2k, whilst the youngest was at judo. Things I learned:

1. My legs hate me now.

2. I don't need a knee support as much as I thought, but may have to use one when the distances get longer.

3. Have I missed this? I'm not sure. There were parts where I drifted off, everything went onto autopilot and it was... Great. The rest actually hurt quite a bit.

4. I'm slower than I was. And I don't care.

5. Other runners can teleport, the woman I was following disappeared between one moment and the next. Seriously, it was like a magic trick.

6. I still have faith in hot baths. I'm hoping to renew my acquaintance with post run baths in about ten minutes.

7. It wasn't as bad as I thought, but the jury is out until morning...

So, good (if short) run.

Fingers crossed for your return to running!

I'll be returning. The gains in heart health etc are too high to ignore it, but as to whether I'll enjoy it too much before i get to 5k and drop a stone or so? The jury is out. Still gonna do it anyway, just for a little time on my own if nothing else.

Well done.

U got out there 😊

[Jundal in reply to Deals1]

I did! And on a rainy miserable Thursday night. Thing is, i saw a woman running along, not too fast or slow, just trundling and thought "c25k graduate right there!" 😂

Was a nice run, if difficult, but reaffirmed a lot of things for me. Mainly that if I just ignore the aches, I can do more than I thought. Mind over matter.

And complaining legs.

[Deals1 Graduate10 in reply to Jundal]

Yep, can sometimes reconize other C25K ers 😊😊

True at times I think re the mind... Reminds me of The Smiths lyrics.. "Does the body rule the mind of the mind rule the body, I dunno" which I was thinking of a tattoo when sub 30 5k.

My last run I too saw folk just disappear into the hedgerows! 😂

Happy weekend and happy running

Running is like an old friend who never goes away, always hanging in the background for when you need them 😊 Well done on getting out there again Jundal 🦋💕
