Friday Feeling?

[Jericho2332]

Good morning runners, managed to get out for only my second run of the week this morning, yesterday's planned run was curtailed by gremlins who heard the wind and rain lashing at my window and for once won the battle and made me stay in. Today I won, bad weather or not I was going!

It was slow and long, even the Thursday Murder Club didn't pass the time any quicker 🤣 it was a lot of uphill, I even tackled running up Ormesby Bank (spot that on my splits 🤣) and of my fellow Boro runners will tell you, isn't the most pleasent slope to get up! I made it though so feel good I've achieved that 💪🏻

Despite the relatively slow pace I'm glad to have got out and not let the gremlins win for a second day.

I hope everybody is well and hope you all have a great weekend 👍🏻

Great job. Re the pace, I don't think anyone would call that slow, relatively or not!

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

Slow only relative to my "normal" pace lol

[Blossom- 60minGraduate]

Great run - ooh noo I wouldn't call that slow !😊

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Blossom-]

Only relative to my usual speed, I'd usually do that distance easily 6-10 mins quicker.

[Blossom- 60minGraduate in reply to Jericho2332]

Ooh I wish I was you! Ah but 'comparison is the thief of joy'. 😆

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Blossom-]

Very very true, just enjoy the run and don't worry about the pace 👌🏻

[Mormor1 Graduate10 in reply to Blossom-]

Not heard that phrase before but so very true.

Well done Jericho 👏👏👏 that must be a hard hill to get up 🥵 but still makes me laugh looking at your pace then 🥵 that would be mine, downhill with 💨💨💨 behind me!!!Did an evening run on tue, which was hard work, out of practice with these after work runs, but will be back on furlough over easter, so back to day runs. 🏃‍♂️

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

Good to hear your still getting out 👍🏻 I've still not attempted late running but may give it a go in the summer when the nights are longer and the weather a little more agreeable 🤣

Back on furlough already? Is that just because of Easter holiday period or has there been outbreak at work?

[Peter44 Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Schools will be shut over easter, and at the moment, that's the only work we're doing.

[Bambi2020 Graduate10]

Are your trainers worn out yet??? Another 11k - I have to say I admire your stamina and positive attitude- keeps the gazelles going 👍🏻🦌

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Bambi2020]

Thank you, lol the new trainers have already got 304km since I got them so I think there already halfway past there recommended shelf life 🤣

[nowster Graduate10]

There's definitely something odd about this week. Lots of us are doing slower runs for some reason. Literally under the weather, perhaps?

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

I think so, conditions have been a little tougher, especially when going back to bad days after the odd really nice one.

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

OMG I love ormesby bank! Cardiac hill! Well done 🤣

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Thank you! The top never seemed to come! 🤣🤣

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

The top bit after the shop is brutal!
