Sulking!

Feeling sluggish and grumpy as haven't run since last Saturday. The knee is undecided about whether it's happy or not. Sometimes the stairs cause no pain or twinging, then 20 mins later it could be stabbing pains on every stair 🀬🀬🀬

Thinking I may try a short run tomorrow as it's fine walking and riding the horse. If there is any sign to trouble I'll stop and ring the physio on Monday.

Sorry to be a moaning mini but the cat is completely disinterested in my woes and I need to grump somewhere! πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

For those of you not on the IC hope your week hasn't been curtailed too much by the heat. Hurrah for the drizzle this morning πŸ™‚

Happy running folks xxx

Oh he looks lovely! I like toads, they eat all sorts of things in the garden πŸ™‚

Sorry to hear about your leave of absence but just think of time off as a little rest. Your body will thank you for it πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ™‚

Yes let the toad stay and eat your slugs and snails in the garden. I hope your little run goes well. Take care. πŸΈπŸŒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

The runs do wait.. so take care and make sure all is well... I get a very bad attack of the Grunplies when I cannot run!

Super toad!

Hope your knee is back to 100% very soon. It's so annoying being on the Injury Couch! Lovely pic of Mr Toad though.

Sorry your knee is still being a pain, literally, JU. Here’s hoping you get it sorted soon. 🀞 On the plus side, you really didn’t miss a whole lot not running this week. It’s been brutal πŸ₯΅πŸ₯΅πŸ₯΅

I love your toad. He’s ace! ❀️ 🐸

Ha!!! I like this idea... I need to go and find (Al)fredo frog in our garden and see if I can conjure up a similar outcome!! X πŸ˜‚

I think it’s been a bit of a week for, aherm, β€˜reflection’... so many JuJu-ers feeling a bit thwarted - one way or another (including me!!). This week is the longest I’ve not run since January... every time I walk the dog I wonder if my legs will be strong enough to run EVER AGAIN... (no real problems... just a million reasons to be an utter wuss this week... πŸ™„). You must be SO CROSS with that inflatable... x

Sorry to hear of your knee trouble. What an enchanting 🐸. Did you try kissing him to see what happened ?

Me too! But went out for a run yesterday and the rest meant I ran better. I am working on the basis that it takes 2 weeks to lose fitness so 1 week won't kill me! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Hi there, firstly super congrats on your 60 min badge, very shiny πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ™‚

My knee was improving, then I slipped on the bathroom floor πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ and to top it off last week I developed pf. So frantically rollering my foot which seems to be helping. I've got a few days walking in Dorset next week. Assuming all limbs survive that I'll get back running. I am missing it. No doubt I'll bore you all with photos of my mini hol πŸ˜‚

Thanks for checking in πŸ’• xxx

Hi I’m in Dorset next week myself! I’m at the Great Dorset steam fair for a few days, and I’m hoping to walk some of the Jurassic coastline . I’ll be taking my running gear so if you see someone wearing blue brooks trainers a green bandana to keep the blue aftershokz on and a faithful spaniel in tow, that will be me ! Oh yes and doing the snail trot!

Hope that P F eases for you. I had it and the only thing that worked for me was FitFlops not flip flops and Birkenstock sandals.

Enjoy your time in Dorset and here’s hoping the weather will be kind to us!
