12k towards my total. 💜

[Peter44]

Actualy, only another 12.54 km towards my 50km total, for PC. Changed the route a bit, ran towards, and past, my mum's care home, still not able to visit, as their isolating, with another staff member having covid, and still not had their first vacine jab. 😥

Came back along the canal, not too muddy today, nice comfortable pace, even with my daughter running too! 🤣

Had an idea to try 12k today, felt good, so went for it, and as always, was thinking about everyone having to isolate, and thankfull, i'm still able to get out.

Stay safe everyone! 🙏

Amazing, well done you🤸

[Bambi2020 Graduate10]

Over 12km , that’s great that you’ve built upto that. I’m out tomorrow so I’ll see how much it takes out of me- don’t think I’ll be getting back to near 10k for a couple of weeks- been feeling tired - hopefully the excitement of being let out will drive me on!

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to Bambi2020]

Glad you'll be able to get out tomorrow, hope it hasn't taken too much out of you, i guess you'll know, once you get going. My friend had covid, quite bad, was in hospital, on oxygen, for a week, he's back running now, 5k's, 30 mins, he's 58 too, but i suppose everyones different.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Great 12k so happy you got out for that run with your daughter. Happy running 🤗

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks, of work, with schools shut, so plenty of time, it's funny, today i was lagging behind a bit, but determined to keep to my pace! 🤣

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Oooh, 12K! Well done. 👏👏👏

That was my stepping stone to 10 miles. I had planned on doing a 14K first but, well you know, on the day I was running well and didn’t stop. As I run so slowly it wasn’t a huge increased effort.

Great running towards your 50K 👍

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks, will try and increase by 1km at a time, but saying that, i did jump from 7 to 10km, so you never know! 🤣

[Runforurlife Graduate10]

Wow 🤩 12k!!! Nice one 💪🏼💪🏼 You are building up that distance nicely, I am impressed. Lovely you had your daughter with you for company too. Is that your third run of the week? You are stacking up those km’s 🦌🦌

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to Runforurlife]

Well, at the moment, i'm running every other day, but only one long run, a week, sort of! 🤣

[9weeks2Run Graduate10]

Hi Peter44

Well done on your run today that is a fantastic distance.

Ah bless it must be so hard not being able to see you mum, I pray she is keeping well and will be able to get her vaccine soon. I was supposed to be taking my mum to have her vaccine on Wednesday but obviously unable to now. She has been told it will be another 6 weeks till she can have the vaccine, I am still waiting for mine as well.

So glad you enjoyed your run today, I can’t wait to be able to run again.

Take care

Rebecca

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Thanks, hope your not feeling too bad, sorry your mum cant have the vacine now, my mum's care home emailed to say, another 3 residents, have covid, and more staff isolating, very frustrating, they've not had their first vacine jab yet! 😥

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

Hi Peter44,I have felt very tired today so not too bad.

Oh bless them. It is so contagious at the moment. We had 3 positive cases at work as well. I pray they get mild symptoms and get better soon.

Take care

Rebecca

Wow, you’re smashing out these runs, Peter! Go go go! At this rate you’ll be able to put your feet up for the last week 😁 Brilliant work, well done.

Are you able to FaceTime mum? Must be so hard to not see other 😕

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to acountrycabbage]

She has a basic mobile phone, so we can talk to her, but doesnt always hear the phone. 😥

[acountrycabbage 60minGraduate in reply to Peter44]

Such a shame for both of you 😔 Hopefully there’s a positive shift in cases and you can meet her soon.

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to acountrycabbage]

Let's hope so! 🤞

[Jericho2332 Graduate10]

Great run Peter 👌🏻👌🏻 your flying through this month's target! 💪🏻 I'm hoping to get out in morning but the ice is threatening to put a stop to that, possibility of some serious snow up here too so I'm just gonna see what it's like when I wake up.

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Hope it's not too bad tomorrow, supposed to be getting milder next week! 🤔

[Dups Graduate10]

Well done on your 12k. Such a worthy cause. I can’t imagine how hard it is for you and other families that cannot visit their loved ones in care homes at the moment. Fingers crossed that there vaccines get delivered soon 🤞🏻

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to Dups]

Thank you, I know the situation, with regards to visiting care homes, isn't great, at the moment, but i guess there's people in worse situations, at least, we've got our running, to help! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[GailXrunning]

Wow! Brilliant progress, P. I remember when you mused about the future possibility this run to your mum’s care home a few weeks ago. So sad, though, that you are unable to enter and visit.

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

Thanks Gail, will be a while before we're able to visit i think, but we talk regularly, so not too bad.

[shuffleido]

Well done Peter44 . You are really doing well and can see that you'll smash your target, probably on your next run or two. I hope that you'll soon be able to see you mother, so keep safe.

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to shuffleido]

Thank you Shuffle, did another 7k today, so five more to go, maybe get close to 100k, by end of jan! 🥵Glad you ok, and running, just seen your post, that's not a bad idea, run on treadmill, then walk outside. 👍☺
