Hi Runners!

I wasnโ€™t feeling too great yesterday, so itโ€™s a good job it wasnโ€™t a run day for me ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ. After an early night, Iโ€™m feeling a lot better today.

๐Ÿ’‚๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธCadence & Acceleration-glider Drills today! I hope Iโ€™m not speaking too soon, but I think Iโ€™ve mastered the Garmin buttons too now ๐Ÿคญ.....๐Ÿค“!

As I was running in the park today, I noticed that new trees have been planted, right near to some very large mature ones. I thought ๐Ÿ’ญ...Iโ€™m a bit like that little one โ˜บ๏ธ. But with Jeff as my coach, who knows, I might just grow into something just a bit closer to the biggie. For now, Iโ€™m definitely in the growing season ๐Ÿ˜‰. Slow...but sure and Iโ€™m out running regularly again! Iโ€™m very happy with that ๐Ÿ˜ƒ.

Itโ€™s been such a lovely warm day here today and Iโ€™ve really enjoyed my time outdoors! โ˜€๏ธ ๐ŸŒฒ ๐ŸŒณ ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜

Happy running Runners!! โค๏ธ

Glad your feeling better today and you are out running !

Oh, and sorted out the Garmin buttons ! I thought I'd lost my 10k on my watch on Saturday but thankfully it was there ๐Ÿ˜

Slow, sure and growing is good ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ Enjoy !

Thanks so much Instructor57!! ๐Ÿค— Yes, I saw that ๐Ÿคญ!! Glad you were able to see it later and congratulations on the 10k again!! What a brilliant run!! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉโค๏ธ

Exactly this..bolder, braver, more experienced, learning, doing, achieving. Each run is a victory and small victories count big! It's not where you are but where you're going ๐ŸŒฑโš˜

Ah thanks Delly-dot!! ๐Ÿค— Yes, the picture doesnโ€™t do the big one justice ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ˜ฏ . That trunk is very impressive indeed! I know Iโ€™ll be very happy plodding along, but even then Iโ€™m sure thereโ€™ll be some nice surprises too! ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

Glider drills...I like the sound of gliding. Sounds easy ๐Ÿ˜„. Well done little tree, you're growing well.

Thank you BTP!! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

I think the glider drills are a bit of an art, (that Iโ€™m still learning). No idea what that one does for you ๐Ÿฅด, but I do enjoy doing the โ€œdrillsโ€.

For gliders, you go from a walk, to a jog, to a fast pace, then reverse the sequence back down to a walk. After that you have a 30 second walk and start it again! Good fun!! ๐Ÿคฉโค๏ธ

Wow, your getting to the advanced refinement that is cadence & acceleration-glider drills! Mr Garmin is getting sophisticated!

Fabulous450Graduate10โ€ข in reply toCBDB

Thereโ€™s probably other more common names they call the drills ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ!! I have wondered if those stepping stones are the same or similar to โ€˜Cadence Drills! ๐Ÿค”

The names may be sophisticated, but Iโ€™m not sure that Sarge would use that terminology with me just yet!!๐Ÿ’‚๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿค...๐Ÿ˜‚

I donโ€™t mind that though, I do like the fact that it brings a bit of a new variety to the runs ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ and itโ€™s over before you know it too. โœ…โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ˜„but I think โ€œcadence & acceleration-glider drillsโ€ sounds a bit more advanced than โ€œstepping stonesโ€. I still feel like running-kindergarten ๐Ÿ‘ถ ๐Ÿผ but you are definitely in running-university. ๐ŸŽ“ ๐Ÿ“–

๐Ÿ’‚๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ....๐Ÿค”....he may beg to differ ๐Ÿ˜Š. Honestly, I think what you do and what itโ€™s called just depends on which coach you choose to have for your plan. I just go with it and give it a go!! Keeps me moving!!๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

Maybe the big trees are there to show the little ones how it's done! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
