Tuesday morning run

[SueAppleRun]

I’ve been proper poorly since last Wednesday, no details needed but I’m better now.

Jo ran the rest of week 4 on her own and found a good part of the river to run round, twice round is 30 minutes plus a longer walk back to the car so we are planning to do that after work Sunday.

Today we met up at our usual park and due to me not being sure I can run yet and Willow trying out his new shoes and Jo not sure what she can do we abandoned the app and said we’d just run a bit and see what happened.

Started off nice and steady, there are a lot of dogs in the park today each and every one was greeted on the way round and a few we nearly fell over as they chased round with Jo’s dog, but we carried on.

the sun shone the wind blew, I bet the sea is rough.

20 minutes and we walked, Willow felt happy and went to the car while we reset out watches to walk and went round the lake.

We ran two and a quarter kilometres, walked three kilometres altogether and felt chuffed that we did it, Willows knee is pain free so the Brooks were a good buy.

We can’t meet up for a run again before Sunday so have agreed to run once separately between now and then and try this river run that is quite exciting.

Run happy all

I don’t know what wa out there but Parker did look funny so thought I’d share him

Parker is looking for a runner to pass the house, that was a good 20 minutes run for you, glad you enjoyed it, 🏃🏾😊👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Al, he’s probably looking for badgers and foxes

[Ian5K Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

He isn’t a nosy Parker, is he? Up at the window, twitching the net curtains. 😁

It looks as if he’s doing a good meerkat impression.

Good to get out after being unwell! 🙂

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Sorry you’ve been poorly…but glad you’re better now!🤗

Sounds like good results all round! Enjoyable run/walk for you and Jo ✅ Pain free knee for Willow ✅ A new route for Sunday!!! 🙌🏼

Happy running!

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Sorry to hear you've been poorly, but sounds like you're back on track now with a good run followed by a walk.🙂 And Willow is a new man in his shiny new Brooks. Great stuff all round 🦵🏃‍♂️👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Thank you, it’s so good to see him without pain

[Teejay113]

Glad your feeling better. 😁

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Teejay113]

Thanks

[PeggySusi]

Glad you’re better. Parker is adorable..😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to PeggySusi]

Parker is funny 😄

[ForbiddenPlanet Graduate10]

Good to hear you're out there again, and Willow pain free (the magic of new shoes!). And cat being cute?! Alles gut, ja? 😁

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to ForbiddenPlanet]

Well thank you, i can’t believe the difference a new pair of shoes makes to his knee, it’s all about the shoe supporting the foot in the right place

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Glad to hear you are feeling better Sola, and that Willow's magic shoes have helped him.

Your cat has definitely got his eye on something out there.... love it.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy, it is good to feel better and i haven’t got a clue what goes on in Parker’s mind he makes us laugh

[Week7 Graduate10]

Sorry to hear that you have been unwell but pleased to hear youare feeling better now.Also good news about Willow's knee and Brooks .!Parker clearly thinks he's a meerkat!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Week7]

Oh thanks, yes i think he does, when he’s not thinking he’s a badger

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

What a funny photo 😂 I have often thought that some cats believe they are human and your photo just shows Parker ready and poised to box another cat’s ears 😻😂

Good news that your poorly spell is in the past and you can run again 👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you, yes all cats are funny he stayed stood like that for ages

[Doris8 Graduate10]

Hi glad you got out today on your run with you friend and Willow, pleased his knee is better,. Mr D has brooks but getting knee problems think they’re getting a bit worn , going to check out others for him as probably needs to change. Mr D like your photo of Parker he’s not a wee ball of fluff anymore🙂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Doris8]

Ooo it was pain in Willows knee that had him limping back to the car made me realise he’d worn the old ones out, a new pair of decent trainers a year is a small price to pay for being pain free No Parker is a young teenage cat now and delightful, apart from the odd nip of Willows toes his behaviour is lovely

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

💕Parker 🐈‍⬛😀 (from one black cat owner to another!)

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Glad you’re feeling better Sola; a good run for you today! Willow must be so relieved his new shoes seem to have worked a miracle on his knee! I think Parker is practicing to be a meerkat!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

The shoes make such a difference, thank you it’s good to have the energy to run again, and Parker, we’ll! i never found out what made him stand up and stare

[Indielass00]

Fantastic pic of your kitty 😀. Well done on the walk and run Sola 👍🏻

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Indielass00]

Thank you 😊

[Hidden]

Totally off topic, but meerkat Parker!! 😍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Who no longer bites so much 😀

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

Ah, he is growing out of childhood. Next comes puberty: crawling up the curtains 😜

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

He’s growing out of crawling up curtains, I’ll be happy when he grows out of sharpening his claws on the furniture, he spends plenty of time outside and I’ve explained about fence posts and trees, to no avail. You would have loved to see the badger 🦡 pottering around in the garden with this little black cat following it around. We did worry when he was smaller that a fox might run off with him, but no! he runs after them until they leave his space

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

😹 he sounds like a real character! Running after badgers and foxes? You should write children's stories with Parker as the main character!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

If only I had more time lol

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10]

Glad you're all recovered, what a fantastic photo!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

Thank you on both counts

[grumpyoldgirl]

Sorry to hear you've been under the weather, but what a lovely recovery post, and an adorable cat photo for good measure. It's really amazing what a difference the right, or the wrong, shoes can make.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

He’s a typical man thinking “they’ll be alright for a while longer” but for him it’s so important. me now, I have made for me insoles so can run in anything, Hence the reason ai mix and match, It was so good to be well again and be able to go for a run,

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Sorry you were feeling poorly, but pleased you got out there, and that the shoes are a success! What a great photo of Parker - animals are just amazing 🤩.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Frenc]

Thank you and yes they are, this morning he’s just curled by my feet
