Another week in the legs - or should I say 2 runs.... ?? Still incredibly slow but at leaast I extended the run a bit today and ran for 35 mins! 🥳 Was it really just a couple of months ago that I ran 10k? 😭😭 Oh well - it might be slow and ugly but its a run and its progress - so I'll take that!
Here's a few more flamingos - just because.... 🦩🦩🦩🦩
Flamingos 🦩 how lovely, and any progress is good progress
You can never have too many flamingos! 😀
That’s true and true also of giraffes 🦒
Elephants. I’m particularly fond of elephants 🐘🐘🐘.
Me too, in fact all the very large animals are fascinating
😆😆😆😆 yes an elephant in hand is better than a bird in the bush. On the other hand, flamingos come in flocks 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🐲🐲🐲🐲 Damn there's an alligator in the lake - can you set ur elephants on it???
You did it 👏 well done 👍
Well done FM. You’ll get there girl. You know you will. I’m with 🐨 🐨 🐨. Koala is truly the cutest name for such a cute sleepy little critter. (They’ve got six opposable ‘thumbs’). Now that’s got to be handy.
Well done👏👏👏 it really doesn't matter how far or how fast you go. You are back out there and as you say another run in the bank. Do you feel better for it??? It's all good and you are doing well! Keep the faith 🤩
Thanks Allison. How are you getting on?
Haven't ran for two weeks after.my knee flared again. Really painful and keeping me awake at night. Seems to be settling down again now so hopefully I'll get out soon. Like you though my runs are much shorter. The thought of an hour run seems way beyond my ability never mind a 10k. But it is what it is. Keep up the good work👍
Progress indeed and 🦩 for the win. Good for keep going out, i will be joining you soon. The dog walkers in the village are poised to overtake me and my runners are hopeful.
Well done, you'll be back to those 10k's before you know it, doesnt help with this weather at the moment. 😊
Brilliant that's more minutes than me 🙄Mm of to try run 2 on the great knee rehab plain 😊
🐙 What about a giant octopus 🐙 to tackle the alligator 🐊
Love the flamingoes! You ran for 35 minutes- if it’s progress it’s good so we’ll done you!
What’s all this about flamingoes? I seem to have had my head in the sand like an ostrich/emu (?) and missed this....
Well done on your run Fionamags. There are a few of us tackling gremlins or taking it easy at the moment. You’ll be back to that 10k soon enough - look forward to those lovely springtime runs 🌼 🌳 🌷 xx
I just could feel myself getting gloomy over how far backwards I've gone - I'm actually slower than when I started c25k. So I thought I needed to perk up, be thankful for what I can do and then I spotted the flamingos when looking for swallows in the emojis. They are beautiful and slightly comical so a very cheery sight - so that's why I decided we all needed some 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩 😉
Oh, I don’t have flamingoes on my phone emojis, must check on the laptop and see if they’re there. That explains why all these posts are full of row upon row of question marks in boxes this morning - that’s what my phone has substituted for flamingoes 🤣! Xx
I've got them on my phone along with elephants and giraffes. Oh wait - I'm on my laptop now and I can see them in the built in emojis under the 'reply' bit - but they show up as squares on my laptop. Curious.
Ooh! I'm on my laptop now (there's so many more animals than on my phone) and I can do flamingoes! Here goes....🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩I've also found a rather cute bear 🧸, who really has to cheer up anyone who sees him. 🧸 xx
Unfortunately can't see them on the laptop though.... weird, isn't it?
Now on the phone - yep them is bears right enough! 🐞🐞
Well done Fionamags. And thanks for the flamingos. I have no injury excuse for poorer performance- just haven't been out so much with the cold and ice but I've definitely gone backwards. But I'm sure, like you it will return.
Yes I think we have to focus on the positives as much as we can. We are living in horrible times and it does get at you at times. I felt awful when I stopped running and am in a much more positive head space now - we just need to do what we can with our runs. Keeping on is the main thing, I think?
Yay!! Any progress is good progress..slow, fast, long or short...well done Fionamags
I’ll be flamingoing out of the door later 😉🦩🦩🦩
Lovely! Just take a tip from me though - don't try running on one leg. I think that might be a bit tricky.... 
Running and feeling (so) tired
Comeback run in the sun!
Fabulous450 Comeback Run Three! 🙌🏽🙌🏽😁❤️
