Just another steady 4K

[Instructor57]

A lovely morning to get out there !

Dry, light breeze and 3 degrees.

Decided i would just do another 4k on my return journey .

I was intending on using the NRC 4K Run however, the app had decided to delete my previously saved runs !

No worries, I'll just have a Pink Floyd playlist instead !

So set off to 'Set the controls for the heart of the sun' I know Jools2020 Will be familiar 😁

1st k done and nice and steady , my pace feels totally natural and easy.

The next track on the playlist comes on and it's 'Echoes' for those not familiar, this track is around 24 minutes so will see out most of the run !

Infact I used to use it on week 7 of C25K 😁

Echoes finishes and I'm nearly done .

My watch buzzed to tell me I'd done 4K so started my warm down walk to the final playlist track 'Fat old sun' quite apt with the sunrise this morning.

So, another 4K done, no issues, back home stretches and porridge eaten .

Now a quick shower and work this afternoon.

Happy running! 😁

Thats great. Even better that it is becoming more comfortable after the sinus problems. Bravo 👏

Thanks Alan , getting there 👍

Good run, good weather and nice photos you took today Instructor57, I especially like the photo of the horse 🐴, I also like your 🎶 music choice, your mid week run also coincides with my midweek run which is always a 5K (not) parkrun, this morning was my 85th, enjoy the rest of the day 😊 🏃🏾

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Al, and glad you appreciate the music 😁👍The horse is just 1 minute from where I live so I usually say hello 😁

Well done with your run also 👍

[Roxdog Graduate10]

That's great! So glad this approach is working for you.I love your playlist, nice and relaxed. I find relaxed music the best to keep me calm and my breathing nice and steady. It's only when I need a kick up the proverbial that I'll occasionally pick a more uptempo track!Haha, some of the music I listen to might be more appropriate for falling asleep to! Works for me though - can't have hectic music while I run!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

Thanks, glad you approve of the playlist 😁

And yes, it's working so far 👍

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Brilliant, it sounds like you're well on your way to top form 💪😁👏👏👏 I don't know what's going on with the NRC app, a few if us have been having trouble lately 🤔

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thank , getting there !And yes NRC has been quite flakey of late! 😐

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Hurrah another run in the km bank! Well done. Love the horsey pic. 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Yep another one in the bag 😁I usually see the horse, he/or she ( I'm not sure) lives in a field just a minute from my house so usually go and say hello 😁

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Instructor57]

I love horses, I used to really pester my parents for one. It never happened 😞🐴😆.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Yes, I like them !This one is so friendly 😁

Not sure what Misty would think of it though 😁

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Instructor57]

Stranger things have happened! But probably best not to try and find out 🤣. She’d teach the horse all sorts I’m sure, and then you’d have 2 snoozing animals to contend with.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Misty is snoozing now 🤣

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Instructor57]

Ah she’s so sweet!

[MrBassmanjazz in reply to Instructor57]

My sister, on the way home from school, when quite young, exclaimed, "Look, Mummy. That Horse has five legs"!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to MrBassmanjazz]

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

No not "just another" 4k, but a brilliantly controlled and enjoyable run that puts you well and truly on the comeback path! 👏

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

Thanks Diane ! It's coming back together 😁👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Your comeback is going so well

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

So far so good !😁👍

[GailXrunning]

Perfectly pitched - no-pressure run and no-pressure sounds, and taking things a step further on your last outing.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

Thanks , it's working so far 😁👍

[GailXrunning in reply to Instructor57]

May it continue!👍

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

Thank you 😁👍

[Sunnytom Graduate10]

Great pics. My NRC seems to have a mind of its own lately.... wander if they doing more updates 🤔

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Sunnytom]

Yes it's becoming a bit of a pain to be honest

[Hidden]

Looks like you are really getting back into the running eh? It reads as if you really enjoy yourself. Hopefully the sinus niggles stay away!

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Hi Evy , Yes, I enjoy it when I'm out .

But as you know, sometimes the problem is actually getting out !

And so far the sinus problems seem to be on the mend thanks to a steroid spray 👍
