Grumpy Legs 🦵

[Frenc]

Hello all! My legs are currently not talking to me as I did strength yesterday and I just did a 5k. They can be very fickle! I keep telling them it’s tough love and all for their own good, but they don’t always get the message. Hopefully in a few days we’ll be back on speaking terms 😆. Anyway, it was pretty chilly on my run (why did I think an off the shoulder t-shirt was a good idea), although I managed to get to just about the right temperature towards the end. My route today wasn’t very exciting, along a big main road, but it’s always a safe bet, and I’m fond of it as it’s where I did a lot of my C25K runs. It’s to a large supermarket and back and I always wonder if I’d be able to shop’n’jog at the same time, jogging on the spot when it come to checkout! But then I’d have to carry stuff home. So probably not the best thought out plan! Happy running everyone. 😊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👟😊😆🏃‍♂️👟

Well done on your 5K and a good pace 😁👍Infact that is my 5K PB time !

I keep meaning to try the strength and flex but managed to avoid it so far 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you! I’m definitely in good company with the 5k time 😊👍. I’m hoping the strength will help in the long term, but today my legs certainly didn’t thank me for it 😆.

Haha, I'm still resting mine after my run 😁

Well done on another great run👍👍👍. I find controlling my temperature a bit tricky, so I've planned a route which takes me past my house after about 3k. If I'm to hot 🥵I throw my sweat shirt over my hedge....Problem solved.

Thank you! Great idea throwing your top over the hedge, it’s brilliant the little tricks we come up with 😊. I live in a top floor flat so would struggle doing the same 😆. I could always aim for the balcony but I don’t think it’d quite work. Happy running! 😊👍🏃‍♀️👏🏼🦶

Naughty legs!

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mittymoo]

Yes they are! 😊

That’s a 5k to be proud of

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Ah thank you 🙏. I worked out I started C25K just over 6 months ago and still can’t quite believe I can run! All the best. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🦶

Shopping and jogging that made me chuckle! 😀Well done for getting out even if your legs were grumbling! 🏃🏻‍♀️👍🏻

Thank you! Legs seem a bit better although I could absolutely kick myself. I have a niggly calf and managed to give myself a nasty ice burn yesterday which I’ve never done before - was pretty worried! The things we do. 🏃‍♀️😊🏃‍♀️😊

Oh no hope your calf improves and ouch to the ice burn! 🥶Have a lovely weekend!
