Repeating The Magic Plan and the dog came too ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ•

I havenโ€™t posted for a while, but Iโ€™ve been joffling along quietly behind the scenes when I can.....

At long last I am visiting my loved ones this week. Along with my husband and our children we are finally getting to see both our families after so long apart.

First stop is Cheshire to see my parents and my sister and her family. Next stop is Scotland to visit my husbandโ€™s parents and our family there.

This morning I restarted the distance version of The Magic Plan, with my sister for company which was lovely, a first for us to run together. Another first was running with my dog Isla on the lead (an interesting experience Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™ll repeat ......๐Ÿค”). Isla loved it, but does like to follow her nose and zig-zags which meant I hurdled her a couple of times!! We ran across the local golf course then around and back towards home. Itโ€™s a beautiful morning here in Cheshire. My sister snapped a photo on our run towards home.

My sister and I will definitely run together again later in the week, as we stop off here again on our way back home. Whether we invite Isla along too is up for discussion ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‰.

Happy running everyone ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you both. Itโ€™s lovely up here today as Iโ€™m sure it is back in the South Downs. We got out early at 7am.

How lovely to see your post and you jogging along. Still doing lots of physio and starting walking programme but oh how I miss running. I agree running with dog is risky as mine darts all over the place! Happy running.

โ€ข in reply toTimotea

I hope the physio sessions are helping and itโ€™s good to read you have a walking plan.

Iโ€™m going to persevere with Isla and see if I can turn her into my running buddy. Iโ€™m going to have words with her about her wild swerves though, but on the plus side she keeps my pace up ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ•๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

This is my naughty Norfolk Terrier! She just sits down suddenly and wonโ€™t move when on lead. Ok Iโ€™m wide open spaces but not great on roads!

What could be better that getting to run with your sister after this last year I bet it was amazing. It's so good that we are finally able to get to properly see our families again . Hope you'll post some photos of running in Scotland ๐Ÿ˜„

Thank you Scruff. Itโ€™s so good to see the family. Itโ€™s been a hard year.

Isla seemed to be getting the hang of it towards the end of our run so Iโ€™m encouraged to try again. Hurdling her was unexpected though - thank goodness sheโ€™s not any bigger!

Hi Delly-dot! Well done on starting the magic plan again, Iโ€™m hoping to do the same once my hip gives me permission to get back to 5k without having to break into a walk! How lovely for you to be able to meet up with your family again, you must be so excited! Good luck with running with Isla in future - it sounds as though she has her own agenda for going walkies with her human!

โ€ข in reply toOldgirlruns

Hi OGR. Isla has boundless energy, so dropping a run into her routine is probably a good idea. She normally runs loads off lead but Iโ€™ve curtailed that because of the awful number of dog thefts recently. She is so friendly and trusting that she would go to anyone.

Lovely to hear from you DD. I'm still hovering on the way back to 10k - was very nearly there until my back went out and its been niggling away ever since. So I'll be on the worming my way up again too. Your timing is impeccable btw - its been freezing in Scotland until now. We are set for sunshine this week. Enjoy your visit!!

โ€ข in reply toFionamags

Oh dear! Backs can be tricky when it comes to running. Iโ€™ve had a week off since hurting mine doing the garden. It didnโ€™t help that I was digging over and planting up in the rain and got wet..... sore and achy bones ๐Ÿ™„. I wonโ€™t be doing that again.

Keep the sun shining for me. Iโ€™m heading up tomorrow ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ โ˜€๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜Š

How lovely. Dog running does sound tricky though!How did you find running with company? I've only done a c25k mid plan run with someone and found talking hard work!

Nice to have a photo of yourself running too - it makes it more real!
