So over excited, far too excited for a woman of my advanced years, but having just watched the news...oh my goodness!

I SHALL continue to run... with the support of the wonderful people , ( apart from everyone here), who have kept me strong...through thick and thin, up the steepest hills, in the direst weather and through some of the lowest moments, and of course acted ( with my apologies) as a source of my amazingly awful ear worm songs:)

E.g.

healthunlocked.com/bridgeto...

and an old one;

healthunlocked.com/couchto5......

Chiquitita has exactly the tempo for my slow and steady pace and...Waterloo has been with me for so long, it can ensure that I am able to finish any run...

There is really no hope for me...is there?

Sorry if you don't care for Abba...but I do !

Floss x

Photo after my first 10K..4 years ago...

Gosh, my garden looks so different now :)

Np need for replies, I just needed to share:)

I don't watch the news... πŸ€” does that mean an actual new ABBA album is coming out? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€£

Blimey!! That should be interesting! New material, or just remastered favourites?

OldflossAdministratorGraduate10β€’ in reply toGoGo_JoJo

New..they were going to do 2, then though a couple more, then thought..why not an album!

I think so....and wonderfully, they are all older, and look it! There's going to be concerts but not as we know them too.

That’s going to be fun, even people who aren’t keen on ABBA find themselves singing along, that’s an amazing photo

You look amazing, I was beginning to look short and wide but at last some of my giving up smoking weight is going away, probably off to find some other poor soul who’s just given up smoking and eating like there’s no tomorrow xx

Oh yes apparently they have been motion captured to look the same as they did in 1979 - if only we could all turn the clock back as easilyπŸ˜‚

I saw ABBA at Wembley Arena in November 1979. I had the scarf, badge, knew every single word to every single song on every single album (and I probably still do!)

It’s very exciting isn’t it OF? πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

(And yes that’s a great photo!)

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministratorGraduate10β€’ in reply tocheekychipmunks

Oh my! Lucky you... :) I just found, early on in my running, that many of the easy listen tracks fitted my running style wonderfully!

Yes, I love that photo...not sure whether I can jump that high currently though :)

You didn’t seriously expect nobody to reply?? Are you sure the picture isn’t your avatar (Abbatar?) You look more like a Dancing Queen than someone who just ran 10k 😁

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministratorGraduate10β€’ in reply toYesletsgo

Ha ha...all the ABBA lovers have owned up...I knew I wasn't alone..I knew Hidden loved them...but..thisxhas been fabulous. I ran with an extra zing in my step this morning!

You are lovely, thank you x

Soooo happy πŸ˜ƒ!

❀️ I LOVE running to ABBA πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ.

It sounds as if they still have their wonderful harmony. I’ve always loved β€œThe Way Old Friends Do” and was disappointed it wasn’t featured in the films ☹️

Happy ABBA running to you Floss 😍 xxx

It is amazing, a new album πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ I have still have the first box set of 5 vinyls they brought out in the early 80’s. I still love to put them on my record player and sing a long while I’m doing housework. Dancing Queen was also the first song played for me on my wedding evening πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Amazing photo 😊

OldflossAdministratorGraduate10β€’ in reply toDups

Oh wow. That is quite something exercise, housework, music..perfect.Lovely to have that memory of your wedding day too .

I have favourite running pikkies, that Mr OF has taken, another one, I have flying feet ! Doesn't happen often x

Isn't that fantastic news about ABBA, there was a feature about them on BBC Breakfast News this morning, it made me put on ABBA on my Spotify app and listen to 3 hours and 20 minutes from ABBA.

During that time I got the bus to Dunfermline and walked around the Dunfermline Parkrun course. the ABBA tracks started at 7.40 as I left my house and finished at 11 o'clock when I got home, a wonderful morning of music and walking.

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministratorGraduate10β€’ in reply toAlMorr

That sounds just great , plenty of exercise, fresh air and music. I ran to ABBA this morning too.

I'm also totally stoked about ABBA! I've never put them on as my running soundtrack but you're making me think that's the way forward after C25K!

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministratorGraduate10β€’ in reply toOrange_Girl

Absolutely...but I do have a very steady 1234 pace and many of the tracks carry that beat...I use Chiquitita as a warm up...slow intro' is the steady ready to run, and the chorus.. just carries me on and everywhere:)I do run nekkie, though sometimes too ( no music)... sometimes the silence or the sound of the world is all you need :)

ABBA ? Who are they ? 🀣............ Sorry, I'll get my coat 😬. (Runs for shelter)

AlMorr profile image
AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate10β€’ in reply toInstructor57

ABBA are the Swedish Band that won the Eurovison Song Contest in Brighton in 1974 with the song Waterloo, during the 1970's they were the top group for hits as the Beatles were in the 1960's.
