Anticipation!

[Richard7]

After what seems to be nearly a year struggling to get back to running ways it is Friday night and I am finding myself excited at the thought of going out for a morning run - weather app says it will have a feel of -9 but hopefully a few layers will make good. Hopefully my enthusiasm will still be intact in the morning!!

Whilst I have been running through 2020 I have been struggling to get back to back minutes, finally having redone the C25K from week 3 I am back to at least 30 minutes continuous running (7 done).

Wishing you all good fortune with your running and health this weekend and onwards. Here's to dry, ice free, quiet paths as we collectively go out this weekend 😃

Well done Richard. My 2 layers weren’t enough to keep me warm today. If you have a windproof jacket that will help keep that windchill out!

Take care and enjoy.

I tend to alternate recently between 3 tops and 2 tops plus a windproof depending on the wind speed!! I think I do over analyse things sometimes 😃

Really pleased for you Richard...and feeling the same myself! 🏃‍♂️👍Fingers crossed it's not too chilly on Saturday morning and I will be out there too

Have a good one!

It was lovely and cold - 😃 - but went well. Slow as usual but at the moment I am focusing on minutes on my feet.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Richard7]

Slow is excellent (says this ultra-slow runner 👍🏽🐢)

Very best wishes 👍

Good luck with your run today Richard and well done getting back on track, too much ice here today for me but enjoy and run for those of us still snowbound ⛄️🤗

[Richard7 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Fortunately my route was ice free with two very short sections where I had to run on tiptoe

[Hidden in reply to Richard7]

That’s good Richard, glad you got around safely, even walking around here is tricky 😀

Hi Richard, it’s good to hear from you. It sounds like you are doing really well getting your running going again. 😄

Hi - always nice to be remembered!! Doing ok thanks. Today was a doubly good day as got a message for my Covid Jab towards the end of my run. 2021 is already looking brighter!Hope you are doing ok and surviving the various impositions placed upon us.
