CR 13,14 and 15 Bat outta hell 😀😀😀

Well 3 runs again this week,

Tue, 4k with my daughter, no music, and nice to chat, all the way, actualy find it easier sometimes, running with her, 35 mins.

Thur, another 4k, back on my own, usual music, 35 mins, but found it harder than usual, maybe didnt drink enough water, on wed!

Today, well, planned another longer run, nice in the daylight, mixed up my routes a bit, harry potter, and the canal, under the m25, and back again! Felt much better, than thur evening, even after waking up in the night with cramp, in my calf 🤔, last week, i'd done 53 mins, so just thought , why not 60 mins today, which i did, and found really enjoyable ☺ my mum's now in a care home, next to the canal, about 10km away, so maybe i can run to visit her, one day, when we're aloud/they have a covid case, at the moment 😪

Anyway, just as 60 mins came up, bat out of hell, came on my playlist, which i thought was quite apt, as i'm a big meat loaf fan, seen the musical 4 times! 🤣

So, things have really moved on, from those early, c25k runs, was thinking about the lovely 20 min, w5r3 🤣

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Well done on your 60mins- think you can get a new shiny badge now 👍🏻👍🏻 It must be that extra birthday you’ve had- must make you run for longer.

Thanks, i think your 7k gave me the extra motivation! 🤣 just felt comfortable today. ☺

Am just in total awe!

Hope you’re able to see your mum soon, and maybe you can do so by taking the canal route.

Thanks, she actualy had a hospital appointment, before the covid case, on wed, and i was able to spend some time with her. ☺

Great effort, 60 minutes is marvellous and the badge looks lovely. Great target to run to your mother's care home. Trying times for all with folk in homes just now, not least the residents themselves. Hope you get back to see her soon. Happy running 🤗

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks, was just one of those runs, slow and steady, wasnt really a problem to keep going, and was nice to mix up the route a bit. As you say, it's a mad place, covid wise, we're in right now, especialy in care homes!

Well done Peter 1hour run is a great result and a nice new graduate badge 😁👍🏻👍🏻

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Thank you, it did feel good, but will stick with 2 shorter runs, during the week, and another longer one, at weekend. 😀

Woaaahhh!! Great stuff.. 7.2km 🥳🥳🥳 and your 60min badge. Amazing! Hope you are enjoying your post PB glow today..that is really quite a step up from your 4kms and obviously you’ve got it in you to push it that bit further..the 10k is definitely within reach for you now!!! Sounds like you mixed it up nicely with your route, a bit of everything and Bat Out of Hell came on just at the right moment.. lol I love it when that happens 😀 The right tune is like a turbo boost isn’t it??

Sorry you’re not able to see your mum at the moment. Life is so challenging on so many different fronts these days, the restrictions were all living under are difficult, obstructive and frustrating. Thank goodness we all now have our running to keep us going!! 💪🏼💪🏼🦌🦌

Thanks, it's funny how runs can be so different, thur/sat, guess that's the life of a runner, infact my first km pace was 7.55/km, which is fast for me, so tried to slow it down! It's still hard to believe, we're talking about running 6/7 km, and enjoying it so much! 🤣When's your next run? 🤔

[Runforurlife Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

I know, it’s a bit mad isn’t it when not that long ago we were freaking at the thought of a 10min run lol I’ve taken a couple of extra days rest after my Thurs run to rest my usual knee niggle. I had an amazing sports massage today and feel SO much better and limbered up 💪🏼 I’m planning my next run for Monday morning. I’d be out tomorrow if we’d not arranged to meet friends for a socially distanced long country walk but hey ho 😜
