30 MINUTES! YAAAAY!!

[Lizcanrun]

No,you haven't accidentally gone to the C25K page. I'm just so excited to have run for 30-minutes for the first time in 6 weeks!!

I chose one of my favourite routes, with wide open vistas and really enjoyed the feeling I of freedom you get when you're out running. I had to run past a large dog at one point and was a bit wary as he stared at me trotting past. I enjoyed passing some very chilled sheep a lot more! At one point, I got a bit excited because I was convinced that I had seen a woodpecker. But when I my starred in the direction it had flown the only birds I saw were two pigeons. 🤣

Started listening to a really interesting podcast The History of English, I recommend it if that's your kind of thing.

Fitness wise, it was hard going, but I know it's still in there and I have to keep reminding myself, that I'm building up time running, not speed.

Hopefully, my legs will be OK tomorrow!

Happy running everyone!

Well done! And whether it is 30 or 300 minutes, the important thing is: you ran! I run 30 minutes during the week, only go longer in the weekend.

Yes, that 's what I did pre IC. At the moment trying to run a bit longer each time.

Woohoo 🎉🙂 bet you felt good ( and relieved too 😌)

Keep at it gradually and you’ll be back to those long distances , waving to the IC as you 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Wow that view is amazing you certainly chose a great place for your 30 minute run. It sounds like you had a great time with your nature spotting, I bet that Woodpecker was just hiding behind the pigeons 😊

That’s great news! I’m at the same point as you, for different reasons.

And the History of English sounds like it’s definitely my ‘thing’, so I’ll look for that, thank you! 😊

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Well done Lizcanrun, it’s all running regardless of how long you’re out there - and what a fabulous place to be trotting!

[Hidden]

Well done Liz! Thirty precious minutes on a beautiful run (the view in the photo is wonderful), no wonder you are buzzing.

What a great place to run, glad you made the 30 minutes

Thank you

[Lifluf Graduate10]

Congratulations on getting back out there. Woodpeckers are so hard to spot- many times I've heard them and know which tree they're on but still can't see them.

[Katnap Graduate10]

Looks like a lovely route! Nice running Lizcanrun

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Well that sounded like fun - so great when you do a comeback, isn't it?

[Lizcanrun Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Yes & no pain today 😁

[Comfortnotspeed Graduate10]
