Apologies

[backintime]

I am on hols, and I have missed posts, I will catch up when I get home. 7 of us on the wifi at my parents has been a bit slow going. I have read quite a bit but commenting has been difficult, the site has been slow for me lol

I have been running, quite a lot, and exclusively outside. I am nearly up to the same distances outside as I was on the tread mill and have high hopes of logging my 10k before I go home (currently at 7.5k).

I have found that I was unconsciously tensing against the movement of the treadmill as I find myself having to consciously relax my legs when running outside. So that's a good thing.

It has been nice to be nearly allergy free running by the river and most of the joggers have had a friendly nod or wave, or even a cheery "morning". I even had a wino call out "keep it up love" : ) all in all this outside stuff has been a pleasant experience.

My family doesn't get it, that much is obvious, but I do, so tbat's ok.

I do wish I had music though....it will come at some point lol.

I didn't get a parkrun in as my eldest son changed his mind, but my youngest did do a Junior parkrun last Sunday.

Again, sorry for missed posts, normal service will be resumed this weekend : )

It does us good to escape HU occasionally, just like running, but it’s difficult not to sneak a peek every now and then 😂

It’s great that you’ve got a son involved in junior parkrun . So many life lessons with supporting and volunteering involved , not to mention the health benefits.

Happy hols BIT. Sounds like you’re enjoying it and your running. 👍😀

Hope you have had a lovely holiday. Will you be able to find places to run outside when you’re back home? Now you’ve discovered outdoor running, the dread mill in the basement will never be enough you know x 😃🏃‍♀️

I think it will still have a place in my running, especially when it's icy out.

It is easy to just stick running shoes on and go downstairs instead of having to "get ready" before work

Aww I'm really happy to read that you've been enjoying outdoor running! I hope the pollen has gone low enough that you can do a bit more when you're home, but I can completely see the attraction of being able to hop on the treadmill before work!

Great photo. Look at those London clouds! Really pleased you got to run outside more and that it’s going so well.

Hope you are enjoying your holiday. Your running is obviously going really well. People who don't run simply don't "get it". You'll soon be at the magic 10k.

I'm up to 7k and thinking of joining ju jus magic plan when I find the right link 🙃.

Happy running 😀

I think the link is on the pinned posts. I can't cut and paste on my mobile.

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

Thank you. It's very kind of you to think of sending it to me. I can now see it on the pinned posts but it won't open on my phone. I can only open the one that's just finished/finishing. No worries- I'll sort it 😊
