Sneaky little 20 minutes run

[grumpyoldgirl]

Hi all, posting here because I'm not following the prescribed c25k and I don't want to cause confusion over there! I've been following my own recovery plan and doing ok, but I've had to ease off for a few weeks because of other stuff. Had to drive a lot too which my foot took exception to, so more that life has settled down again I've started up again with a couple of easier runs. Last time, I did a week 6 run 1 and popped an extra 2 minutes run on the end to make 20 minutes of running in total, and today I just did four lots of 5 minute run, 2 minutes walking. Foot and right side is feeling a bit better again, but I'm not going to push it.

My local town has been yarnbombed ready for remembrance Day🥰

It’s all going great by the sound of it 👍

And what a beautiful building!

It is isn't it! Nothing to do with the run, just thought I'd share.

Hey 😀 it’s so good to read your progress, sounds a bit like jeffing to me which is a great way to build back up, your town is looking fab, I expect there are some around here but I haven’t been into the village for a while

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to SueAppleRun]

Well I think jeffing is the way I'm going to go, because there's no way I'm running week 5 run 3😁I'm just going to keep adding little runs to the end, and build up total run time, then make each run section longer, but only gradually.

We have to go gradually because we don’t want to be back on the couch, it stinks getting older

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to SueAppleRun]

I misread that as my couch stinks (another joy of getting older), I was going to suggest febreze 🤣🤣🤣

Ha ha

I'll get my glasses 🤓

That sounds like a good plan; hope the driving foot feels better. Those decorations for Remembrance Day look lovely ☺️.

They were all over the high street, mainly by the church. Such a lot of work by someone (several someones? A few different styles of poppy - reminds me I must buy mine )My foot is much better this week, thanks😊

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy. I'm finally learning to enjoy going slow😁
