Yet another tentative restart

[grumpyoldgirl]

Here I am again, not on the bridge but I've restarted c25k again a year after breaking my ankle. My physio has given me the go-ahead to get on with it and has finally signed me off 🥳

So far I have run week one, repeated it, and just started repeating it again. Next week I might venture onto week two but I might just do week one again! I'm also still doing Pilates and I've started Zumba gold to keep strengthening those joints.

When I first ran c25k, I did one of my final runs while on holiday in Keswick, and my profile picture is from that run. Well, this week I ran along the shore of Derwent water again, early morning with hardly anyone about. A bit like beachcomber's post, it just felt wonderful.

Wow what a beautiful setting to run in!

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Lookslikejames]

It was fabulous, and so nice to return there after lockdown. One person walking his dog at the water's edge, and me😊

Glad you are going again.. try, try and try again as somebody once said! Such glorious surroundings for your run.. keep posting and good luck..😊

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to PeggySusi]

Thanks Pegs, patience is certainly a virtue sometimes!

[PeggySusi in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

It’s never been one of mine.. but sometimes virtue is enforced I’ve found..😬🤣

Hello gog! How wonderful you’ve finally had the go ahead to run again, and what an absolutely stunning place to do it. I can only dream of such a lovely route. I bet the Pilates has done wonders for you, and the Zumba will keep you in good stead as well. All the best with week 2. 😊🏃‍♀️😊🏃‍♀️😊🏃‍♀️😊

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Frenc]

Thank you frenc, I love my Pilates and I'm sure you are right about it getting me fit again. Derwent water is so beautiful isn't it, and we were blessed with the sunshine. Magical.

welcome back from the IC - the runs waited for you!

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to backintime]

Thank you, yes they did! 😊

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Welcome back! You seem to have a great routine going there, good for you 💪

And what a stunning photo 😍 We spent Christmas there years ago and had a layer of heavy frost on Christmas Day so everything was glistening and sparkly, such gorgeous memories. Must go back …..you’ve now put the idea in my head 🙂

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Irishprincess]

Do it your Madge, it's glorious and ooh Christmas at the lakes, that is a very good idea...

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

I wasn’t a runner then so nowadays I look at every destination as a run route. And how glorious would the runs be there…. 🙂

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Wonderful to see you back grumpy. Smart move taking it ultra carefully, and you can’t go wrong running in such beautiful surroundings. Take your time and enjoy. 🥰

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks cheeky, I thought I was being careful last time, but now I'm being really, really careful! 😁

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

Amazing view grumps; enough to inspire anyone. 🤞this time everything fits into place for you. You deserve it; great courage and determination 👏👏👏👏

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Beachcomber66]

I hope you're right about things fitting into place - it does feel like I understand my body better so I'm able to do the right things and avoid the wrong things, fingers crossed! 🤞

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

We are right with you 🙂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Great effort restarting, don’t keep repeating week 1 for too long😉. Happy running 🤗

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Grannyhugs]

You might have a point GH 🤣

[MandiV]

Good for you!

[linda9389 Graduate10]

That's fabulous news GOG. Enjoy every minute, there's no hurry, just glorious runs of your choosing.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda, I'm snailing it all the way 🐌🐌🐌🐌

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Exactly what the physio expects I'm sure

[JulieByf]

Beautiful picture. Well done for starting to run again. You are obviously a very determined person. Slow and sure, you know you can do it. 👍

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to JulieByf]

Thank you Julie. Determined or plain stubborn 😄

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10]

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! So pleased to read this grumpyoldgirl(not). 😊 I am wondering at what in the morning that you should encounter hardly any people. So very pleased that a start has been made. Here's to pain, injury, swelling free progress. 😊🏃🏻‍♀️🎉

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Lol good question! It was a little before 8am 😊We were staying right by the lake. There were a few more people about as I walked back, opening up the ferry service etc. And thank you 🙏

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Hello again, Wondering how your tentative re-start is coming along?

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thanks for asking, I should probably post something! All ok so far touch wood - I've just started week 2 after 3 weeks on week 1!

[Coddfish Graduate10]

Good luck in your recovery, a beautiful setting like that should definitely inspire you.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Coddfish]

Thank you☺️
