Hello from the prodigal runner...

[Pianism]

Well, running folk, I've been on precisely 3 runs in the past 2 months. I started with nasty pain in the arch of my foot that just isn't going away. So I've been trying to rest, even though that doesn't seem to be helping.

So, obviously, the best thing to do this morning was to get up and run the Wilmslow Festive 10k, completely unprepared and on a dodgy foot.

But that's exactly what I did and...

...

...

...well, it was OK, actually. Not free of discomfort but nothing is any worse than when I started.

And I was only 90 seconds or so above my PB (came in just above 1:01).

So, perhaps, maybe, with the wind behind me... I'll be able to start running again!

Happy Sunday everyone.

That’s amazing! Well done!

I’ve recently read that shoes with a higher drop are good for people with foot issues 🤔

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

That's a excellent time considering that you have not ran much recently, well done. 😊

Remind me not to play cards with you! You is a hustler! 😃

Well done! I looked out for you but I was a couple of pacemakers back. Just left Richmond Tea Rooms. I haven't run for over 2 weeks and am feeling it.

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to Sharuns]

Well done Sharuns. I bet you felt you earned that tea. As did I at The Plaza - I didn't know they would be giving us tea and sandwiches

[Sharuns Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

Food. Always a bonus.

[damienair Administrator]

Nice. Well done. The force is obviously with you. I hope your foot issue gets resolved soon. Super running.

Congratulations Pianism on running your festive 10k and an excellent time. Hope you don't have any more foot pain.

🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏👏👏

[RunaroundSue Graduate10]

I knew you would sneak off and run

I found out because I looked up the time for Sharuns then I thought "I wonder......." Sure enough I saw your name as well. Well done. You can come back for some parkrun mud now

[davelinks Graduate10]

Well done! Where exactly in the foot is the pain?

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Wow - from zero to hero!👍

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Great result, well done, and you're looking super slim in that photo Pianism. Have you tried rolling your foot on a frozen bottle of water? Wear socks!

[Debston Graduate10]

Wow Pianism! You certainly know how to make a comeback! Well done and hope your foot feels properly better soon.

[Run46 Graduate10]

Great run, hope your foot has forgiven you this morning 🏃‍♂️👍

[Raspberrypink Graduate10]

Well done. That’s a great result!

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

We’ve missed you pianism! It sounds like you’ve been charging your batteries. Well done. Was the 10k near the parkrun in Wilmslow?
