A 3.5K Recovery run in the sun πŸŒžπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Well I managed to arrange a day off today, I am away over the weekend in Stockport and Manchester off to my first live music gig since before the pandemic and I have a few things to sort out before I go .

As a few here will know, I am a life long Pink Floyd fan and have been lucky enough to see them live many times over the years .

Well , Saturday night is a tribute band at the Manchester Apollo, and they are almost as good as the real thing 😁

Anyway, I digress 😁

The forecast for today here was dry bright but chilly ! , Perfect for getting back out there !

My Sinus headaches have been easing over the last few days so I thought i would try a short run .

Running tights and a long sleeved top were in order for today and I was out of the door around 10:25.

My tech behaved today as well so that was a good start !

It was my usual route but for some reason I set off quicker than I usually do , not intentional, it just happened.

It wasen't THAT quick , just quicker than I like to start so slowed down a bit as soon as I noticed .

Luckily I was feeling ok , my head was clear from recent headaches, and infact the running was helping !

It was a lovely day for the run and I was soon up to temperature and feeling good .

I wasen't really sure how far to run but 3.5K brings me to within 5 minutes walk from the house so thats where i decided to stop .

So, nothing special, just a steady trot to get out there again as I won't now get another chance until next week !

And thanks to starting off too quick , the splits were positive 🀣

Happy Running ! 😁

Were you listening to Pink Floyd on your earphones? I’m thinking it was probably the excitement of the upcoming gig what did it, setting off too quickly.

Enjoy the show! πŸ™‚

I've seen such folks as Brian May and Jimmy Nail at the Apollo.

It was his Another World tour.

He opened for himself in disguise as a Conway Twitty type singer, with big sideburns.

Haha, 😁I have seen many bands over the years but not Queen (or Brian May)

My first was in 73 !

Jethro tull at the then named 'Free trade hall' Manchester.

I used to live in Stockport at that time

Ooooooh it was fantastic! Best concert I’ve ever been to. πŸ₯° But I never saw Pink Floyd, though. Did see a good tribute band in Australia! It was mainly β€˜The Wall’ and when they were doing β€˜Is There Anybody Out There were calls from the audience β€˜Yeah! Over here, mate!’

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply toJools2020

Oh, it probably the same band .It called 'The Australian Pink Floyd Show' 😁

Oooh Ian, Pink Floyd tribute band! Fantastic, hope they’re good! I was listening to β€˜Dark Side of the Moon’ during my run this morning.

Well done for the 3.5K! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply toJools2020

Thanks Jools πŸ˜πŸ‘

Yes, they are VERY good .'The Australian Pink Floyd Show'

I saw them in Manchester the year before the pandemic and bought tickets again for 2020 but of course it was postponed , so Saturday is the new date 😁

Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply toJools2020

I'm sure I will , it will be a bit strange though in a sell out venue !

Jools2020 profile image
Jools2020Graduate10β€’ in reply toInstructor57

Not sure I would be ready for that!

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply toJools2020

You need proof of full vaccination for entry and advised to wear masks but I will certainly be a little nervous about it !

Oh that moment when a really nasty headache eases - bliss! That looks like a lovely run, bright and fresh and tech behaving - what more could you ask for?! And your route looks like a backwards superman S, so there you go. And a gig to look forward to as well - life’s looking good 😊.

Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply toFrenc

Thanks Kate ! Yes it was nice to have some relief !

It really has been wearing me down .

It was a perfect day for it though πŸ™‚

haha when I do 5k on that route I'm told it looks like a rabbit 😁

Looking forward to the gig but also a little nervous about a full venue 😐

I’m sure you’ll have a cracking time - your running fitness means you’ll be able to dance til dawn. I wonder what Mr Garmin will make of it 😁!

Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply toFrenc

Haha, not sure it has a dance setting!

Mind you, neither do I 🀣🀣🀣

Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply toIndielass00

Thanks ! Yes, I've missed them also .

This one was postponed from last year

Sounds like you had a good run and if I am to believe the pictures: with sun even! I can't remember wen I last saw sun! I currently feel like living in the Turman Show, but with the roof close to our heads. Perpetual grey sky. Enjoy the tribute band!

Enjoy the gig! Nice run for you, especially after feeling under the weather for a while. I am poorly after my booster, so maybe no running for me for a few days 😱

Instructor57Graduate10β€’ in reply toRoxdog

Thanks ! Feeling off again today , i thought it was clearing but seems not 😐

Yes, looking forward to the gig πŸ‘

Oh no , sorry you booster had that effect !

Think I was luck after mine , it was the 2nd jab that floored me !

Hope your well again soon 🀞
