Well I'm back!

[Lizcanrun]

I haven't been on the forum for ages, because I haven't really been doing much running. A short run, maybe two, a week. I've been confused by being able to go back to my badminton clubs which run 3 times a week. I only started the C25K when they stopped and I was never sure how I would feel about running once they started up again.

As it turns out, I want to do both and there are not enough days in the week! So I've decided to play badminton twice a week and run 2 or 3 times.

Anyway the big news is I just ran my first 10K in about 6 months and I'm feeling pretty good. Actually, the big news is I've entered the Great West Run in May, but trying not to dwell too much on that at the moment...

Anyway, it's good to be back on the forum.

Happy running everyone 😀

Good to see you here, badminton sounds energetic

[Lizcanrun Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

It is, but such fun and I'm sure the running makes me speedier around the court! To be clear - it's doubles. I think singles would kill me 🤣

I could never even hit the shuttlecock 🏸 so i’m very impressed

Welcome back Lizcanrun, good luck for your Great West Run next May, that's 7 months, plenty of time to train. 😊 🏃🏾

Thanks Al. I'm finding it to be a good motivator at v the moment.

Best of luck with your training for the GWR. Hopefully they won't make you run up Fore Street! 🏃‍♂️
