Nice, comfortable, much needed run today, pain in thigh/groin, not too bad, once i got going, slower than usual, usual route past harry potter, then down onto the canal, quite a few other people out walking/ running, but not too bad, anyway, a good hour out running, to help forget other things, if only briefly.
Hope others have been able to get out today, with more snow on the way. 🏃♂️🏃♀️
Glad you managed to get out Peter and that your thigh is holding out. Slow and steady ... be kind to yourself at this difficult time.
Nice run for you today Peter44, I am glad that the pain isn't too bad, I did go a run this morning, however, my right leg is still a little sore, not too bad during the run but gets quite sore when I finish, I'll rest it for the rest of the day 😊 🏃🏾.
Hope your legs not too bad Al, mine was ok, once i got going, not too bad now, even had a short walk this afternoon too, thought that might help. ☺
During the winter months I usually go a long walk in a Sunday morning, tomorrow I will go a slightly shorter walk, my leg at the moment isn't too bad but I would not fancy another run until at least next Wednesday.
Great 7k, glad the pain is easing and you found the run a temporary relief from worry. Lucky you with the sun, we are in the midst of the Scottish weather warning so getting my 7k without being drowned and blown away was a real bonus. Take care and happy running 🤗
Thanks GH, weatherwise here, probably the calm, before the storm, you tough scotts, must be used to it 💪 glad you got your 7k in today, i'm going to stick to shorter runs this month, probably a bit too much in jan!
🤣 oops, I hope that's not too much my fault, I challenged you to 100k, you were the one who pushed further 🤣🤣
No, your ok, was probably more my pancreatic cancer running, they had a facebook group, and was just trying to keep up! 👍
You’re not in the least competitive obviously 😂😂🏃♂️
Glad you got out for that much needed run Peter44 . Slow and steady sounds good.
Thanks Indielass, definately helped ☺ and the thigh pain, not too bad, the slow pace was what was needed, never know wether your north, or south, but we've got snow coming our way. 🤔
I’m Southwest so no snow for us! Unfortunately!
‘Ere, wait a minute lass, I thought you were up in God’s Country..! ☺️
I’m a Yorkshire lass and I’m hoping to head back but at the moment I’m in the South West. You can take the lass out of Yorkshire but you can’t take Yorkshire out off the lass! As the saying goes 😀
Ha ha, absolutely! I love Yorkshire.
I was near Bristol pre lockdown and miss it like crazy. Oh to be so close to the sea.. 💙 Hope you’ve had a better few days Indie x
Yorkshire is beautiful! Parents still live there and missing my mum loads. My youngest child is changing so much. Not seen them since last summer. Hoping things improve so we can visit. I am feeling better thanks though. Lots of dancing to music in the kitchen! ☺️ x
That’s so hard to contend with 😞 two of my besties had babies during lockdown. One is fast approaching a year old and she’s yet to meet her grandparents. It’s so sad 💗 I do hope things are looking brighter by springtime. Dancing and running in the meantime are good for the soul 💛☺️
I’m lucky that me and my OH drive so we could go over last year. But my brother and his wife can’t so my mum hasn’t seen him and my niece for over a year. Mums finding it really difficult. I know people have had it a lot worse but it still doesn’t take away the fact we miss each other.
I’m hoping to run Friday 🤞🏻, all being well.
I love music so the dancing and walking will have to do until then and you’re right they are good for the soul ☺️
Good luck for Friday! 🏃♀️💕
Thanks! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻☺️
Ah, i did wonder which bit of coast you show us, that big hill you always talk about, makes me think of my coach work trips, to swanage, and lot's of hills, down to the town! 🥵
It’s so hilly round here Peter but I’m going to conquer them one day. One by one! ☺️
🥵🥵🥵
Nice run Peter. I'm glad it helped clear your head, if only for a while.Sunshine? What is that?
Thanks, was good to get out, especialy after a week not running.
Pleased you have got back out there and taken it steady , some much needed 'headspace' for you I'm sure.
Thanks Teresa, yes much needed at the moment, how's your running going? 🤔
7K -good run- think that distance is my favourite- it’s what I would call a nice Goldilocks run- not too much, not too little, just right 😁 👍🏻
Yes, same here, quite a comfortable distance, even after a week of, but kept it slow, which i suppose is quite normal for me, are you able to get outside for some runs? 🤔
So pleased for you, and glad to hear that the thigh/groin issue wasn’t bad. Take it very easy to ensure you continue to come back strong.
Thanks Gail, might even have a few days break, with the snow coming, will try and listen to my body, telling me, to slow up. 👍
I think we’re going to be holed up inside (more than usual).
Good steady run pal, sounds much needed 👍🏻Few of them and hopefully all your niggles be sorted 🤞🏻
And he’s back! 😎🙌🏼 Are you doing ok otherwise though..?
Sounds like your break served you well. A slow, comfy run is so satisfying when we’re able to do it 💙
Thanks CC, was good to get out for the run today, even went for a walk this afternoon, for some more head space. Very up and down really, had a call from nurse, at my mums care home, saying she's now at end of life stage, not really eating, or drinking, was aloud to see her yesterday, which was nice, but also very sad. 🥲
I’m so sorry Peter. I hope you and your mum found a little comfort in being allowed to see each other xx
Thank you CC ☺
I just posted that I've been real low- no reason!- (very annoying) but I did 8,6 and 5k in the sunshine- running and sun is my saviour!!
Just seen your post 🤦♂️
It's just SO rubbish when feeling low- SO MANY people out there with a lot of worries and sadness, and I don't have ANY at all!- I've been there, though.!! Hope you feel better for getting out there today- in the sun!!
Thanks ☺👍
Keep running!
Well done Peter, glad your run went well today and it’s helped. It’s good to focus on something else for a while, I found it definitely helps.
Snow forecast here too, so doubtful I’ll be out there tomorrow 🙄⛄️
Thank you, it did help, this is the worst bit, just waiting now, very sad. 🥲
Terrible time by the sound of it, I’m guessing she’s quite ill now as I know she had tested positive but was showing no symptoms. My thoughts are with you.
Thanks, ironicly it's not the covid, she had no symptoms, just doesnt eat, or drink, and her body is shutting down, i should be used to this, as have been through it with both my sisters, and wife, but doesnt get any easier. 🥲
So sorry Peter, you’ve had a hell of a lot to cope with, you’re right it doesn’t get any easier, it’s good the running helps and lovely that you can share it with your daughter, I’m sure your children are a great support to you. Keep running, keep posting, there’s a lot of support on here for you too.
Thanks ☺
Glad you’re back running Peter. Sorry to hear you’re having such a difficult time.
Thanks, yes good to be back out running. 👍
Hey.. glad to hear you got out for a nice easy 7k in the sun 😎 and even better, your thigh and groin issues are not holding you back from running. I am missing my regular runs, still on the IC here.. physio orders to rest and rehab my shin splints for another 3wks 🥺 but I did get out for a 5k walk to enjoy the best of the weather, and watch all the runners enviously!!! Ahhh 😃
Ah, there you are, was wondering where you'd got to, sorry to hear your still not able to run ☹ if i'm honest, i could've done with a longer rest, as a bit achey now, not sure really if it's groin, thigh, or hip 🤷♂️ was just in the need of a run today, and while out, no pain really. With snow coming, will probably have some more rest anyway this week. You'll be itching to get back, after this time out, but nice to get some walks in. 👍
Hee hee, yes here I am! Have been lurking a bit and feeling sorry for myself but yesterday I got on with the physio exercises and am making a plan. 3wks of rest and rehab and I hope to make some tentative baby gazelle steps back, as Bambi suggested 😊 Hope your thigh and groin strain issues go away but sounds to me like you need to do some rehab and stretching too! There are loads of good programs to find on YouTube etc. I’m now spending 30mins every morning just on stretching and it is really helping (I hope!) Boring as obvs I’d much rather be out on a run but I’ve realised I can’t have one without the other as well as strength training so I’m forming a new plan every Sunday for the week, quite busy!
Thanks, i'll have a look at those stretches, although i have an idea i might have over stretched, after a run, and dont laugh at this ☹ think i felt something, in groin area, as i got out of bath, after one of my long runs, maybe the 10 miles ☹ we've not had much snow here yet, but will have another 2/3 day rest, then see how it is. 🤔How long have you been out now?
Well, sounds to me like you need to be careful and give yourself a bit of time off to rest that groin niggle and incorporate some very gentle stretching if it feels ok to do so. Maybe with this wintry weather now it’s a bit easier not to overdo it and take it slowly this week.. We’ve had snow today in south London but it’s not settled too much, more coming tomorrow! It’s 3wks today since my last run 😟 I feel like a big part of my life is missing, weird?! My new physio said I was running too much so when I get back to it, I’ll build up from one run a week to two max I think (if I’m lucky)!
I know I probably did a bit too much in jan, I was doing 10k's for fun, but although they felt pretty comfortable, was obviously a bit much too soon, it's a shame really, as could really do with running at the moment, but I'll be sensible.Sounds like a good plan, for your return, taking it slowly.
Well done Peter. Glad you got out for your run and it helped you during this difficult time. Take care
Thank you, it did help, hope you'll be back running soon. ☺
7K between falling trees
A surprisingly comfortable 7k
Tough 7k but done! 💥 💪🏼😎
