My sabbatical, running and handstands ๐Ÿ˜บ

Hello everyone,

You may not remember me but I used to post on here a fair bit and did a 10k plan. So this is a post to say hello ๐Ÿ˜บ. After nearly a year ( blimey doesnโ€™t time fly) I have come back to this lovely place. I took a sabbatical as I had too much stuff going on in life, and have been doing a course for work which was full on to say the least.

I am however still running.... I LOVE running, always will and I hope to always be able to. Iโ€™ve added in a few extras like yoga, swimming and strength stuff which have all helped keep injury at bay. Oh and handstands, I love handstands too. Iโ€™m on a training plan which is helping, and I just love the feeling of being upside down.

So I will be replying to your posts, and doing a few of my own. I hope that I can help with the stuff Iโ€™ve learned on the way...

Itโ€™s great to be back in this gorgeous community,

Juju

Great photo of you doing a hand stand, I would think that takes a bit of practice to master, of course there are competitions on how long a person can hand stand for, the record according to Wikipedia is 1 minute 54 seconds, welcome back to the forum. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I am very proud indeed (especially as I have to set a 'more often than not' monthly goal to get it done these days, although I am a whizz at the yogic sleep class)

You may not know that Google lost her sight very suddenly in the Summer - nasty mysterious thing called SARDS which has all sorts of other weird manifestations, and part of it, in the last few weeks has lost some but thankfully not all her hearing too. As you might imagine, this little running team is struggling to adapt.

It really is great to have you back, lots of people 'Missing in Action' (of course it's the action that is important)

Hi Ju-Ju! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ I followed your plan this year so a big thank you from me! Itโ€™s lovely to see you online ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wow to the handstands! Amazing! My 5 year old daughter asked to me demonstrate a handstand to her back in the summer...I realised I hadnโ€™t done one for about 20 years ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I really couldnโ€™t for the life of me manage one! My husband said I looked like I was having a fight with myself as I attempted unsuccessfully one afternoon in the garden! I must research a handstand tutorial! I suspect my extra ponds and less than agile frame have a lot to answer for!

Brilliant photo and great to hear all of your achievements.

Warm wishes, Jo x
