A Lazy 10K 🏃‍♂️

[PhoenixRise]

Happy New Year 🥳 all!

It has been a minute since I’ve posted! I hope you all had a relaxing festive break!

I’ve been busy with a mix of night & day shifts for the past two weeks at my Christmas temp job but I did still manage to keep the running going with a 5K and 10K each week 💪 Not quite the HM achievement I had wanted by the end of the year but still a bit of progress ....

I popped out for a lazy Sunday 10K yesterday and I’m quite impressed with the splits considering how tired I was! 😴

I got offered a permanent job from the Christmas temp work so I think that was my fuel! But now we are back in a national lockdown so I fear I am back to square one - typical 🙄

Ah well, the silver lining is I can get back to my HM training 🏃‍♂️💨

Who needs money anyway eh? 😢 😢 😢

Happy running all! 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ Stay safe & keep smiling - we have been here before and we’ll get through it again with the help of running!

Good to have you back onboard PhoenixRise, health b4 wealth though you've got running so all is not lost 👍👍

Thanks lmc50 🙏🏻 Indeed - health before wealth. Today is all about positively reframing the situation!

Hey, fabulous splits, I doubt i could achieve that on a bike let alone on foot What a shame on the work front, are you not an essential worker?

Things could be worse..... I’m getting messages that boilers gone off at work and they haven’t a clue how to reset it, looks like i’ll be changing clothes, going to work, changing clothes, resetting boiler, changing clothes,coming home and changing clothes again flipping heck 😂

Take care

Thanks WillowandSola 🙏🏻 No, not an essential worker .... so back to being home and missing out on the furlough scheme 🙄

True, things could be much worse and I have my health and can pick up my HM training 💪

Oh no 🤦‍♂️ I hope the boiler drama wasn’t too .... dramatic!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to PhoenixRise]

Oh dear, I am sorry, I was being a bit flippant last night wasn’t i? That’s pants about work just when things were being ok The boiler saga was resolved without me having to go into work

Today is vaccine day and I must admit to mixed feelings

HM I am a little jealous, 10k made me feel like I could run forever but there aren’t enough hours in the day .....

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I know - just typical! Oh well 🤷‍♂️ Nowt I can do about the situation for now.

Glad the boiler drama was sorted without the need for your costume changes! 🤭

Best of luck for vaccine day 🍀

That’s some lazy 10k run!! Glad to see you’re still going strong.Happy New Year from Scotland. Even with the new lockdown rules in place from midnight here, let’s hope it all goes away this year and brings us all back some normality and peace of mind.🙏🏼

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

Thanks Hareshaw-Granny 🙏🏻 Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for the results we need from this lockdown but I won’t hold my breathe with this lot of 🤡

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

All good wishes to you for 2021. I’m so sorry that your work situation remains unsettled; but hey! You still went out and ran in spite of the shift work.

I know there is a half marathon out there with your name on it! Well done for this 10k. I’d be ecstatic with those splits on a much shorter run!

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks Jools2020 🙏🏻 Typical - I was happy to be offered more permanent work from the Christmas temping because they only took on a handful of people from just over a hundred! Hopefully the offer will still stand post lockdown 🤷‍♂️

A HM definitely has my name on it! 🏃‍♂️

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Those splits are mad crazy you lazy devil 👿 you!Sorry about your work situation. Hopefully something will be waiting for you once we leave this current situation behind. Let's hope for much better things for all of us soon.

At least we can still get out there and run

Take care

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

Thanks Birdlady64 🙏🏻 I will allow myself today to be 😤 at the situation and then I will reset and focus on my HM challenge 💪🏃‍♂️

[Jericho2332 Graduate10]

A very good point.. it is only money. As long as you have your health your well off 👌🏻 and we do get to enjoy a lot more running with the extra free time 😁

Good luck in 2021 and well done on the run 💪🏻

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Thanks Jericho2332 🙏🏻

[Hedgehogs123 Graduate10]

Hey Happy New Year!! I love the fact that a 10km run can be classsed as 'lazy', particularly when it obviously wasn't lazy, looking at those stats, I wish my 10km could be 'lazy' not a chance of hitting those splits'! 😂😂🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Thanks Hedgehogs123 🙏🏻 & A Merry New Year 🥳

[nowster Graduate10]

Lazy? I wouldn't by any means call that lazy. That's faster than my 5km on Wednesday afternoon.

[PhoenixRise Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Thanks nowster 🙏🏻

A lazy 10K he says.. 😏😎🤪 What a speedster!! 🤩🙌🏼

Progress is progress. Perhaps not quite what you imagined by the end of the year but you’re pushing on, slowly but surely ✅

Sorry to hear about your job worries. Fingers crossed for you that the permanent offer stands 🍀✨

Happy running 🌟
