Yesterday morning, I sat in the dentists chair for 3 hours, an appointment which I had been dreading 💩 for ages, (ya big baby) went to bed afterwards and snoozed the afternoon away. I intended to catch up last night on all your posts, but saw one of the TV channels was showing Forrest Gump Aah! Really enjoyed it again. Just starting to read HU and first thing I see is Baddiethepirate’s cake. Wow!
Have great parkruns tomorrow everyone. 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Hope you have recovered from the ordeal in the dentist's chair Lexi...😦 you were very brave...😚 that's not nice. x
You can come on my Parkrun with me (if I go, thunderstorms are forecast tomorrow!)... we will run nice and slowly so as not to jiggle your teeth. Take care
😊xxx
😅😅😅🏃♀️🏃♀️ ooh! yes please BBR and I don’t mind the rain, looking forward to wearing one of my new caps. Will be lovely to run with you BBR. Xx
Hot pink!😀xx
Definitely, will match my face 😃 xx
Sorry to hear about your long dental appointment. Don’t eat cake, it’s bad for your teeth. Just look at it. It will be a shame to eat the work of art that is the 5 tiered blue wedding cake.
Cake is pretty hard to resist though 😀 I have another appointment next week 😷 but hopefully it will be worth it, they show great Dvd’s
at the dentist, although my stress ball took a bit of a beating.
😬 it will be worth it. Are you in the UK soon?
15 more sleeps!
Great, looking forward to running with you. Keep me posted. Maybe we can organise a welcoming committee RunaroundSue Pianism Sharuns
Sounds just brilliant 👍
Sorry about your 3 hour ordeal yesterday on the dentist's chair yesterday lexi6, I suppose that was necessary for some reason or another. I am not going to parkrun this morning, be there next weekend, this morning I will rerun run 3 of week 5 of C25K instead, on Wednesday I ran a PB 5K of 32.23.
There’s nothing like a trip to the UK to make me finally woman up and go to the dentist Alan. If I’m lucky enough to meet some VRB’s while I’m there it will be first time smiling with teeth showing for a while. 😃 You live up to your name Awesome Al, thats a wonderful PB time. 32.23 is brilliant, I can but dream of a time like that. Enjoy week 5 run, look forward to reading your report. 👍🏃♂️🏃♂️
That's nice of you calling me awesome Al, I had to go into my profile twice recently and change my PB time and mention my first parkrun report.
I still have the C25K app on my Smartphone and pick one of the weeks to run to from time to time, other times I will run a full 5K like I did there on Wednesday. I didn't realise that Bluebirdrunner came from New Zealand as well.
The C25k is lovely to revisit. I couldn’t get the app over here, but was lucky enough to download the podcast on my little i pod nano (loved that wee thing) when I first started. Now that I have my Garmin, its all VO2, HR etc but I love bringing the Lovely Laura out for a run sometimes. I’m 12,000 miles away in distance, wish I was in the same hemisphere, but I run with you all in spirit. 👍🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♀️
👍 🏃
This morning I did a short bike ride then came back to the house and then straight back out again and ran run 3 of week 5 with Laura, that was a bit tiring, after the run I went shopping for some of my weekend meals.
With Parkrun every other Saturday I have to buy double in the shop on the non parkrun Saturday,
Golly, Alan, you have amazing stamina! I sometimes feel like having a “nana” nap after a run never mind a bike ride and shopping! I do love week 5 run 3, it seemed so daunting and such a big step up but once completed it gave me the confidence to actually believe I could run for 30 minutes! 👍
I don't AlMorr😀...I'm in leafy Surrey...I meant a virtual run!😊xx
Thanks BBR for informing me that it was a virtual run.
Going to the Dentist is not my favourite thing to do...although I do use running now to help me through ... ( I do a run in my head) 
Hope you are recovered now x You will have to head along with Bluebirdrunner , she will look after you wonderfully... I am hoping she will take me with her too
I did Floss..it was tough, but your 'slow and steady' helped me along...😊xxx
That's a pretty good reason for swerving parkrun, Lexi! Three hours! I saw my lovely dentist yesterday, but just a check-up and all good. Haven't always been so lucky, so I truly sympathise. I'm waiting in for my new sofa this morning so won't be parkrunning either. Bluebirdrunner could have a lot of company today 😁
Ooh! Lovely Grumpy, you can do parkrun next week, a new couch when you’re off the couch. Love that! 🥰
I like it too, I hadn't of it like that 😘
I don’t know when I became such a big baby Floss, but while I was tossing my stress ball ( a map of the world) around in the dentists chair I was watching Michael Palin on dvd but closed my eyes and wandered off (s’pose dentists are used to 😳 and imagined running alongside canals, in leafy parks AND importantly eating cake after a parkrun in the UK. So looking forward to running with Bluebirdrunner (now today) 🥰 xx
We did it Lexi, we were tired...but we managed a sprint finish. No pb today though. Report later. 😊xxx
Thanks BBR for looking after me, my teeth neither stirred nor shaken and the sprint finish was exhilarating. I’m off to read your report now (polite to say a few words to OH over breakfast first 🙂) Sunday morning is Parkrun day here! I could be gone for a while. Xx
Good luck!😊xx
My parkrun was virtual again BBR, Sunday morning here is just about my favourite time on this forum reading everyone’s parkrun reports. Conversation non existent until well after breakfast! 😂 xx
Three hours??!! Wow! I had an hour with my dentist on Tuesday and am still feeling sorry for myself. I haven’t managed to make it to ParkRun this morning but I have got up and dressed in running things so there’s a chance I may make it out in my own in sometime this morning. Although I’m contemplating making cake instead now!!
Getting dressed in running things is a good sign, shows commitment, there’s always next week for parkrun. Don’t think about or look at photos of cake, especially on this site. We won’t mention names but you know who you are BaddieThePirate. 🤫
Hope you’re feeling better today Lexi!! 🤗❤️
Thanks Fab, feeling so much better and overdue for a run, that I am going out for a little ‘un this morning. Its been pouring for the last two days, so I’m off to have a splash in some puddles. 🥰 x
Poor you, but hopefully it's fixed now! I missed parkrun too due to work but am going to volunteer next week.
Lovely Lexi.
Sorry for your ordeal but enjoyed reading your replies.
Have a fabulous trip.
👊💥🏃♀️⭐️🙈👏
Thank you Tbae, this trip has been a long time coming, making up for the one cancelled two years ago. There must be a reason for everything. Two years ago I couldn’t run, having never heard of C25k or this forum. A year after graduating, I now have a sometimes questionable taste in Lycra 😂 have lost over 10kg, my arthritis has eased (your enthusiasm for Fast 800 was key to me buying the book) 👏🏻 Love this running. Can’t wait ✈️
Just fantastic Lexi.⭐️💥☄️
What a wonderful short version of your story.
Must go back and read your posts.👏👏
So busy in the garden, running break at present, but will get back to it and repeat C25k.
Running is the best thing since sliced bread👍and the magic forum.👍
👊💥🏃♀️⭐️👏👏❤️
Even although you beat us at Netball you will still be welcome.🤔🤣👏👏
The cricket was OK.🙈🤣
👊💥🏃♀️⭐️👏👏
😂😂😂😂 that cricket game was astonishing Tbae. I don’t think I’ll be getting up in the early hours to watch the netball though. We always choke when we play Australia. 🙁 I was too short to have any impact when I played netball at school, so chose hockey instead 🏑 Armed and dangerous me. 👊🏻
🤣🤣⭐️
My son in laws father in Melbourne is not too pleased with the POMS he does not care who beats England.He has been very unwell since the cricket semi.🙈Still Oz have 5🙈🤣
👊💥🏃♀️⭐️👏👏
Hee hee! I wish NZ could help complete his misery tomorrow. A win would be great. 🥝🥝👊🏻
😂😂😂🥝🥝🥝🥝👍
Morning Trail run.
