Not park run

[SueAppleRun]

Just a run in a park

Work was tedious, i’d though helping my colleague with carrying out covid tests on everyone at work on Monday would entail writing the names on the labels, luckily i checked back through emails and suddenly needed to to the online competency training so i’m now a fully fledged tester

anyway the run, rest day today so we’d decided to walk the park and run a bit down the hill, found it’s not 2k round just over one and a half so i went round again and again and ran 5.2 k in 47 minutes not fast but satisfying, running round the edge of the family picnics and the lads playing football, a lovely place to be

Plodding slowly along the top i passed a man with a walking stick he asked how many times round and when i said 3 he gave me a well done which was nice

Hot and sticky with aching legs, those up hills mean more than usual running down hill too, I joined Willow in the car roof down and home to cook dinner, what a great after work run on a rest day lol

Have a good weekend all and a special thought for Maddee who is on the IC again

Way to go with the run. Plus well done on the s skills you're picking up. You sound full of beans as usual!! Happy rest day☺️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Allbarron]

Thanks, it’s back to work in the morning, and then do the run again after work but will probably walk it tomorrow

[Allbarron 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I'll wait to see if you keep to that😂😂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Allbarron]

Ha i may walk it, a stretch out after work re energises me and wakes Willow up and the more exercise we have the more music we have

[Allbarron 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Good trade off🏃🏃🎶🎶

Great stuff and well done both. These runs feel so satisfying after. Have a lovely evening x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Some work can be tedious regarding work with covid 19 testing.

Recently I did a short course with Futurelearn from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, they covered testing and online competency training like you described, its quite dangerous in the sense that any one working closely could become affected with it, hence protective clothing being very important.

Good run for you today on your rest day, so that was not parkrun in a park, nice enjoyable run, well done.

Thanks Al yes it was great and today my garmin tells me I am fitness age 61 😀

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

It was lovely thanks Buddy, as is the small pieces of chocolate after

Well done Willow & Sola. A great 5k and driving home with the roof down - sounds fun. Enjoy your evening 😊.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

It’s my fabulous smoking money car lol

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

😃👏🏼 That makes it even more fabulous!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes it does I love spending my not smoking money, I’ve probably spent about 3 years worth though in 6 months

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Well done W&S. it can’t have been easy doing your job over the last few months but you are always so cheerful and positive.

I’ve been driving round with the roof down too - great fun. That and running will keep me young. 😂😂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Oh yes Dexy My stepdaughter and i keep threatening to go to Brighton and wave at boys, lol

Work has been quite normal it’s the rest of the world that’s gone mad

We are all getting tested Monday which is 4 months too late to be honest and everyone’s wondering what will happen if one of us is positive it’s scary at times

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Care homes didn’t get that protective arm they were promised, did they?

So long as You and daughter don’t do the same as Thelma and Louise at the end. 😱

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Ooo we could be Thelma and Louise lol

No we didn’t get anything in the beginning, no PPE and very little in the way of support with rules changing daily it was really hard to keep up, then the NHS discharging people without testing or being positive, a lot of homes didn’t stand a chance, we were lucky and are proud of the team who kept everyone safe and well throughout

Better get off me soap box

Thanks for your comments and i do appreciate the support this site gives us

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Don’t be Thelma and Louise! 🤣🤣🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

You are now going to have to tell me what Thelma and Louise did, Ive heard of them but not watched them

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

SPOILER ALERT

Funnily enough I’ve never seen the whole thing, but things they could be arrest for. And then they drive off a cliff.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

Oh lol i better not do that with step daughter Willow wouldn’t be pleased

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Aww thanks Sola 😍

Sounds like a good run. I love it when random people encourage us 👍

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Great post and another great run! Are you running every day now? That's very impressive!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fionamags]

Not officially running every day but Friday was my day off and it was one of those runs where nothing went right, Saturday the plan was to walk a bit then run the down hill stretch but once i’d got going i couldn’t stop lol

Today we plan to walk it and maybe put in a couple of short sprints on the flat parts

[Gwyrdd 60minGraduate]

What is ic please?

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Gwyrdd]

Injury couch, it’s where we go when something happens to stop us running and we still come here to cheer everyone on

[Gwyrdd 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you!
