Tuesday morning 10k

[Jericho2332]

Good morning runners and a very happy Tuesday to you all!

I just had to rewrite that title and intro as I had thought it was Monday 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️ the lack of structure in my weeks has become hilarious, literally have no clue what day it is half the time and had to ask the Mrs what year it was the other day 🤣

Well my Tuesday run went absolutely average on all counts lol pretty standard time, pretty standard route, nothing much to see or talk about! 10k in 1hr2mins 🤷🏼‍♂️

Really need to run some new routes, these are all getting so dull!

Tried a new podcast today, Russell Kane's evil genius which has a few years of back catalogue for me to get through 😁💪🏻 very entertaining and I would imagine a decent game I could whip out when drunk at parties 🤣 (have to point out, still off the drink at this stage, I think next week is my 90 days which dosnt seem a long time when you say it out loud 🤣 but when you've drank regularly from the age of 14 onwards then that's quite a gap!)

I hope everybody is well, I've probably missed a lot of posts as my forum visits have been a bit less regular lately but does seem to be a lot of us still out on the IC, hopefully the summer sees a lot of returning Gazelles 💪🏻🐎.

Our COGH is going amazingly well, I didn't think we would be so far along our route at this stage, amazing work everybody involved 👍🏻

I am totally with you there, I have no idea what day it is at the moment!

I was like that during first lockdown last year, every day felt the same, wasnt till the footy started again, that weekends came back 🤷‍♂️Sounds like another comfortable 10k, any thoughts on anything a bit longer?

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

I'd say not a chance at the minute, could have maybe went another 1 or 2 today but I was more than happy to stop at 10 🤣

Good to see you’re running. It’s also good that you realised you need new routes: they’ll be exciting to plan... as well as run.😁

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

Yeah the same old routes are great for comparing splits but not good for sheer running enjoyment, a change of scenery will be most welcome.

Happy to see my VRB's getting out there and clocking up the 10k's 🦌🦌Beaut spring weather for a run! Well done matey. And on the 90 days no drinking too, bet that is giving you a spring in your step 💪

Wahhh... Still on the IC here, MRI for me tomorrow to see what is really going on with the shins/leg situ as still not much better. Given that my last run was mid-Jan 😭😭😭progress is not what I had hoped for to say the least. I walked part of my old C25K training route yesterday and felt sad remembering my hard fought for C25k journey on this particular patch of field, back in Sept/Oct.. Ah the heady days of pushing myself to run 10mins etc.! Will be back there when I can, I hope. I miss running so much and I miss the adventuring that comes with running, the planning and exploring new routes 😔 Go and find yourself some new routes for me please!!

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Runforurlife]

Oh blimey that sound serious! Hopefully they get to the bottom of whatevers causing the problem 🤞🏻🤞🏻 yeah it must be awful for you having done so much hard work to get to where you did and then not being able to run for so long!

I'm gonna have to find some fun new routes and take some nice pics for you to run vicariously through me! 🤣

Thanks 🙂

👍🏻Well done on keeping up the numbers-a month since I ran my 12 but I’ve just no energy still - even 5k feels tiring at the moment but I’ve kept up with 3-4 runs each week- I’ll keep plodding on!

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Bambi2020]

I've felt very similar, 5ks have been hard!

[Indielass00]

Bless you RR! Recently I’m ahead in my thinking with what month it is ?! I have to remind myself it’s still only March! 😂😂.I really enjoy listening to The Adam Buxton podcast. But not sure I could run and listen to him as I would be laughing too much.

Well done on your run and not drinking for 90 days. That’s fantastic.

Ps it’s Wednesday 😉🤣🤣

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Indielass00]

Haha thank you 🤣

I don't mind a lol while I'm running, though people around me must think me strange!

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

You should definitely try the barrage 😍 park near the talpore. Go to Newport bridge, over and back to the talpore is 5k. Poor continue to the bridge by Vadah will get you to 6-7 miles depending on which bits you include. Or run from talpore to the dinosaur park and back is also about 6 miles. I like to run to the stadium too. So much choice where we are. Hemlington lake. Eston nab. Flatts lane. When we’re allowed, along the front from Redcar to Marske. Around Roseberry topping and captain cooks. I’ll shut up now 🤣

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

We are spoilt for places but I don't drive so it tends to be places I can run too and from 🤣 I havnt ran down by the river and know there's supposed to be a lot of good routes down there, the Mrs works in a cafe not far from Dino Park so could get dropped off down there and have an explore 🤔👍🏻

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Definitely! Cut down the side of Dinosaur park and turn left towards the barrage 😍 Follow the path all the way 👍🏽 From the Newport bridge you can run either side of the river towards Stockton.
