Oldgirlruns seems to have been remiss in posting her runs on the magic plan. So I am putting this on here to say how proud I am of my friend. This week she completed week 6 of the plan and on Monday ran 9 km for the first time (well she went a bit further than that; I must talk about the 10% rule 😉).
So congratulations OldGirl, and good luck with week 7. I am so missing our girly get togethers my friend.
The photo is a reminder of what Saturdays are for, and true to form, it is windy.
Love that you shared this for Oldgirlruns , Dexy! What a great friend and well done Oldgirl on a truly fabulous 9k - brilliant!😀
Hiding is not possible on here , is it Sandra? I remember I was so overjoyed when I got that 9k that I wanted to tell everybody I met. As that’s not possible at the moment this is the place to do it. We do love sharing the delight.
Thank you Sandraj - no secrets round here!
Whoop whoop! Well done OG, and well done Dexy for alerting us all to her magnificence. Looking forward to the day when you can post the next pic of the two of you together 🙏
Virtual happy hours with OldGirl and Mr and Mrs Coddfish are as close as we get at the moment, plus an occasional talk over her garden wall when our exercise takes us that way but we’ve gone from sharing a holiday together to this weird situation. But we will get through this and there will be one almighty party afterwards.
Thank you GOG - yes we’re looking forward to that as well!
Oldgirlruns you’re simply too modest! Shout that accomplishment from the rooftops and be proud - 9k is right up there, and 10k is within touching distance! 💥👊🏃♀️👏
Dexy5 , when she runs 10k - and it’ll be soon - we want a full on virtual party to celebrate! 😀 I have a feeling you’ll be sharing her success with us maybe even before OGR does! 😅👊🎉
Can’t wait to run with you guys again ...... ❤️
I hope she tells me when she’s going to do the 10. I would like like to clap her in from a distance during my daily exercise. 🏃♀️👏🏻👏🏻🍾🥂
It will be one almighty meet up when parkrun starts again cheeky
Modest to a fault, that’s me cheeky! Really looking forward to seeing everyone again!
And a virtual party can be arranged to celebrate 🥂🍾😃👋
😀
Great run well done, keep going, looks a lovely place to run - 10k is in sight it’s only a little bit more and your spirit of achievement will carry you there👍👏🏃🏻♀️
This route is a bit too busy at the moment but there are some quieter spots, and Oldgirlruns has often done her run before I’m out of bed.
Thanks 62! Yes I’m getting there slowly and Dexy and UTS will be there to see me over the line - and hopefully pick me up from where I’ve collapsed in an unladylike heap!
With coffee and your favourite breakfast no doubt.😊
That would be lovely ! Though I hope to finish before lockdown ends!
Dexy5 will think of something!
Well done Dexy5 and Oldgirlruns ! It’s great to see all the positive posts on here and hopefully see some light at the end of the tunnel. In the meantime we must all keep going as best as we can, support each other and look forward to happier times🙂👍
Yes David getting to 9 k is definitely something to be proud of and doing quietly is not an option. ju-ju- needs to know how her little ducklings are doing too.
Thanks DavidG!
Oldgirlruns : good job you have a personal publicist or we would have missed this. Now we can applaud today and gear up for a rousing cheer as you hit the magic 10k. Brilliant work. These things are to be shared 👏👏👏👏😊🍾
She must be ignoring me Beachcomber66 , or she’s found something more interesting to do on a sunny Sunday. If we shout loud enough she will hear us.
She will get the message I am sure 😊
Ignore you? Me? Never!
I’ve just had a chat with said pp Bc66! Thank you for your applause - I will be doing the same for Dexy soon I hope, when she’s finally able to heave herself off that IC!
I will hear the cheers up here!! 🥂
Well done OGR on your achievement on running 9k 🏃♀️👍
So nice that you friend Dexy5 shared this with everyone, and great pics too 👍
Thank you Martin - it was Dexy wot got me into this running malarkey!
Great effort Oldgirlruns , thanks for sharing Dexy5 . Happy running both 🤗
Thanks grannyhugs.
Thank you Grannyhugs - you too!
Well done Oldgirlruns you're doing so well. Thanks Dexy for letting us cheer her on.
It’s got to be done Baddie, besides I cannot post about my runs at the mo.
Thank you BTP! Gradually puffing my way there!
Brilliant running Oldgirlruns that 10k is just around the corner. Great photos Dexy🥳😊
Thank you Buddy- slowly slowly, that’s me!
I spotted this in one of her replies to somebody else’s post earlier in the week and called her out 😂
Yes, very sneaky, hiding it in the the Saturday (not parkrun) post.
Sneaky? Moi?
And there’s me thinking I was flying under the radar!
Love that photo. Well done Oldgirlruns and good luck on What’s left of your 10K journey.
Damien
We too can have one of those purple shirts Damienair, just 5 more volunteers.
And you’ll both get there soon I hope - we’ll be able to wear matching purple in the next photo!
Thank you Damien! Doesn’t seem possible that I’m so close but I’m looking forward to that 10k finish - and I promise I’ll be publishing that one loud and clear!
I look forward to seeing it.
Well done OGR!
Thank you Katnap - it’s all very slow but when it happens I’ll make a lot of noise about it!
😅😂🤣
As discussed! Thank you Dexy!
Next week 10k?
Probably not Coddfish! Dexy’s watching me with hawkeye so I’d better stick to the plan!
🤣🤣
Congratulations to Old Girl Runs, great achievement. So impressed.
Aw how lovely to see you together and to know Oldgirlruns is still running
Please note the photo was taken 7 months ago W&S. No flouting of the social distancing rules going on here. It was an incredibly windy parkrun, as you can see by our hair.
You both look great and happy
Well, shuffling along very slowly - I hesitate to call it running!
Just like me then, I’m very proud of my 8k but know it was very very slow
I’m proud of my slow!
Slow is the best
Congratulations Oldgirlruns ! So near.... and not so far!👍😋
5 + 5 = 41? It definitely = :)
I did it, I ran for a whole hour!!!! 🙌🏼🎄
