Good to hear.....some hope!

Today I set off on a Ju Ju’s Magic Plan week 2. I’d part completed it last week but sustained a minor injury that curtailed another run earlier this week.

Today I headed off in the mid afternoon of an increasingly cooler Autumn. Lovely it was! Along the way I saw the horse with big teeth with for the first time with its cosy looking coat on. I could see my destination in the distance since the leaves had fallen off the trees. Indeed the trees looked majestic in their golden hews. I headed on as the light of the day faded and I enjoyed it all. Up at the plantery as I passed by slowly it’s fading hedge, I could hear faint hope being peddled. It seemed a couple who I couldn’t see were about to buy a bush that in early summer would shout our that it was alive and it’s plumage of red vibrant leaves would be its proof. Got me thinking a bit that as I trundled on, I was hearing sounds of hope...a hope that we will all stay safe and well. I think tomorrow I’ll be back at the plantery buying the same plant.

If in the next few months it brings its vibrant redness forward then the beacon of hope we all crave will have been born. I’m going to call it ‘Hope’ and it’ll be for everyone trundling the streets just like we are all doing!

Take care all.

Me too nothing swift or sleek about me but i can keep going, that plan is great too, we reached 8k then decided shorter runs more often through winter, good luck I’ll enjoy seeing your progress

Ooh sounds like you enjoyed your afternoon. Good luck with the magic plan. It is magic too, just like c25k was. I've got the final run of week 8 due on Monday - 60 mins! Who'd have thought? Go us! 🏃‍♀️🏃💥

That sounds amazing 030961 - I love the autumn colours and seeing the change in the trees week by week.

I'm following JuJu's Magic Plan too - got to W4, then had to stop due to hip injury, so started back on W2 this week. Taking it slow but sure, and it's hard in the dark with slippery leaves.

But let's see where we get to - no pressure, just enjoy! :)

I’m really enjoying it....but not looking forward to the snow and ice in a few weeks time!
