Spurred on by you lot

[BaddieThePirate]

I haven't been getting out running much lately. A combination of factors (pain, rain, no car...still) but after reading Fabulous450 's post I was spurred on to go yesterday evening. I was out and back before it even had time to rain on me 😀. I did the speed podcast + a bit to round it up to 5km. I don't seem to be getting faster yet. Still nowhere near a sub 30 5km, but I've made the decision on a route and to repeat this podcast til it starts to work.

Body and head felt better for my quick run. Not doing Parkrun today as I'm off to collect my long awaited car 🚘

Was pleased to find when packing clothes for a night away that I still packed my running gear first 👍🏃🏼‍♀️

Nicely done, Baddie.

I’m just building up to ditching my car and I’m going to try to use it as motivation to run home from work once a week, roughly 14k, over winter. I may be mad.

Enjoy your next run.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Jay66UK]

Not much 'may be' about it. We're all a bit running mad I reckon.

[Agelesslass Graduate10]

Well done Baddie, nice running 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Aah I’m glad I was able to inspire you when you’ve been inspiring and supporting me so much! Thank you!

I’m so happy to hear that dodged the rain. Your 5k time and pace is already brilliant!! 🤩 I’ll be a very happy runner if I can get there. Well done BTP 🤗🤗🤗❤️

[skysue16 Graduate10]

Good that you got out for a run 😊 Funny how running becomes obsessive so we look at places and think...Mmm, nice place for a little run!

[lexi6 Graduate10]

Nice 5km Baddie and what a great time. I haven’t managed a 5km since Wilmslow, but keep ticking over with 3 runs a week, 4 km was just a step too far today with this cold. So glad you’re getting your car at last whoo hoo!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Hope your cold is better soon. Have you got over the jet lag?

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thanks Baddie, funnily enough I didn’t suffer from it this time, but this cold refuses to go away. I’ve just climbed out of bed, grabbed a herbal tea and am heading back to it. Perfect running day outside too 🙁

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Get well soon. The running will be waiting there for you when you feel better

[RunaroundSue Graduate10]

Well done Baddie.

Enjoy your new car.

See you at the ukulele strum later?

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

Sorry was too exhausted. I will get there one day...

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

Speaking of ukuleles, I jogged past George Formby’s house on St Anne’s seafront the other day I stopped to take a pic of the blue plaque. The house is named Beryldene after his wife 🙂. I saw the Les Dawson statue too I don’t think he played though 😃

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

Nice run Baddie! Another 5k to add to the wallchart 😃👏🏻 Uh oh, look out peeps, Baddie is about to take to the lanes of Cheshire in an Audi TT (unless something’s changed since last weekend) 😄🏎

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

A red one 😃🚘

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

oooooh, a road rocket! Race Red! Yeeeeeeeeeha !

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Driven sedately so as not to use too much fuel or get a speeding ticket. SO nice to drive. I'm a happy bunny 🚘😄

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

I bought a Race Red fiesta It looks gorgeous. I hardly ever use it though Living on the edge of town means it’s easy to leave it at home and just walk or jog to the shops

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

I am definitely backing you for a sub 30 BTP, but in your own time when you feel it is right. Audi TT can feed your need for speed in the meantime 🚀

[Couchpotato2]

Glad you went out baddie, hoping I’ll be able to trot along soon too

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

How much longer on the tourist IC couches Spud?

[Couchpotato2 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Not sure, need to go back to the physio to get hopefully signed off

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Well done for getting out before the rain came down Baddie. It says it was your 6th fastest 5k, so that sounds great to me . Enjoy your new TT 🏎

[misswobble Graduate10]

Well done👍😃

You don’t need a car to go running though do you, and rain is ok if you have a hat or hood 🙂

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Don't need a car to go running, there are lots of beautiful runs to do round here. Do need one for Parkruns though. And work.

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Oh work! Such a crimp on one's day. LOL

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Awesome run Baddie! 👏👏👏 You’re closer to sub 30 than me! 😅

I was thinking how lucky it was we weren’t running Lyme Park this weekend. It might have been cancelled I’m guessing? 🏃‍♀️💦🏃‍♂️

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

No Lyme Park was not cancelled. We went to Marple, which was muddy (normal state for winter) but otherwise very nice. I ran with one of our monthly tourist regulars who missed Lyme Park because she was running that other easy run, Fell Foot!

She says we have to go back to do Lyme Park with her.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

I'll do it again 😬

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

It will probably be next year, trying to judge good weather

[Katnap Graduate10]

You're a true runner Baddie! Keep on keeping on!

[Fatgirlslim19 60minGraduate]

Well done Baddie! That time looks pretty good to me! I'm glad you feel better for getting out there again.

[backintime Graduate10]

Excellent time, well done for getting out despite the sniffs and niggles

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Glad you're back in the saddle!😜 Hope that TT behaves itself!
