Morning everyone and hope youโve all had a great runny week. Weather down south has been boiling and mad busy with work as we were overwhelmed with visitors. I am blessed our local public services staff are so fabulous and worked amazingly hard and long hours to clear up beaches and deal with so many people and provide the care and help lots of them needed โค๏ธ. Determined to hit that 10k run after all this time and being so close last weekend so much so I ran 11k just to make sure. Have that glowy feeling and sense of โ I am a runnerโ back which is lovely. Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday. Take care all.
Yay!!! I got my badge back โค๏ธ๐: Morning... - Bridge to 10K
Yay!!! I got my badge back โค๏ธ๐
Well done on smashing the 10K ๐
Yayayayay Wimborne, what fantastic news! Youโre back good and proper! โค๏ธ Isnโt it fantastic that we have running to turn through during this period?
And what a relief that insane heat has left us temporarily at least. I love the sun and heat - but for running purposes itโs grey, cool and drizzly for me all the way! ๐
Thanks Cheeky and running is mindfulness for those of us who can never sit still ๐. I have never been so glad to see cloud and rain these last few days. Had to get up in the middle of the night Wednesday to run ( well 6am to be fair) and god I am not a early morning runner. Love evening runs and 9.00 am runs but anything earlier than that just isnโt my thing... but if that heat comes back it will be more 6am trotting for me to escape that heat.
Whoop whoop! Great news๐๐ปxxx
Iโm so very pleased for you Wimborne- you had a really bad injury and itโs taken a lot of patience, guts and determination to get back To where you are today. 11k - whoop whoop!
Much cooler today than those mad temperatures in the week. Southsea wasnโt quite as overwhelmed by long distance visitors as Bournemouth but we have enough home grown problems , and police issued dispersal orders along our beaches and the common Because of the number of young people meeting together, drinking, fighting etc. The council staff and police are doing the best they can and facing a lot of abuse.
Thanks Dexy ๐. It makes me so sad to see how the world is waking up from lockdown and the increase in problems for so many areas ๐. I am patiently waiting for Wales to be open now ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ and sadly Swansea and Gower coast having similar challenges too. Happy running this week Dexy and so pleased you got the non stop run all done. Hereโs to determination and a bit of stubbornness thrown in too ๐
Same here Dexy. The Rec has seen a few fights and police interventions this week. The man who looks after the swans was assaulted as well. Any beauty spot seems to bring out the worst in people. The council are doing an amazing job clearing up the mess that is left behind, as ever they usually do but under extra pressure now.
You have both done brilliantly and if there were a medal for stubbornness and determination, I think you'd have to share it!
Thanks TailChaser, but my mere 11 weeks on the IC is nothing to what Wimborne went through. I must give credit to my physio who gave me all the right exercises and resisted my urge to get running earlier.
I do believe that some people have lost those boundaries of whatโs right and wrong, good manners etc. We have seen the best and worst of people during this crisis.
Love a happy runny post, it cheers me up for the rest of the day. Cracking job! ๐๐ช
Yay, nice one Wimborne ๐๐๐ You sounds so pleased and excited youโve cracked that 10k again. Definitely back ๐๐ฅณ
Fantastic effort, glad you got back past the 10k mark. Happy running ๐ค
Fabulous Wimborne! No soft 10k for you, straight at it! ๐๐๐
Woot! Weโre all afraid of the IC. Worried we canโt make it back. So glad you proved our fears baseless.
How fantastic! Great job. You sound so happy its just a lovely post to read.
Well done on getting past the 10k mark again. Iโm also down south, and itโs so much nicer now itโs cooled down a bit.
Happy running.
Brilliant! Wimborne ๐ฅณ ๐
