Still standing! us and the trees

[SueAppleRun]

We’ve had a bit of a break from running. I had a health scare and between appointments, storms and worry we’ve done nothing much but next week a barrage of tests start and if they aren’t in a hurry I’m not too scared any more, so today being a day off we discussed going out, took some pain pills, then waited for Willows watch to charge, then syncing music, then a few cross words but we got it sorted out, then of course my earbuds started messing around but eventually I had Pink Floyd and he had Coldplay so we were both happy 😃 walking to the car I realised a bathroom break would have been a good idea but we’d faffed enough so we went.

There’s flipping temp traffic lights over the railway bridge but it didn’t take long and we were in the park where the row of very tall poplars are still standing which I’m pleased about after the storms we’ve been having.

Walk round once, run round twice, sun shining just a couple of dogs, non smiling owners plodding on. Walk a bit and that’s enough, it seems that our nearly 2 weeks non running, sleepless nights, long hours at work and eating crappy food has affected us so we’ll try and build up again while we wait for the tests and answers.

We’re alright and the sun is shining, what more could we want?

Happy Wednesday everyone

Good to hear that you’ve been getting out and running again and sending best wishes re your health. That photo is gorgeous, nothing but grey skies here! I did about 32 minutes running yesterday, in my continued efforts to consolidate the C25K programme and build up my running so that I can, one day, manage to run the entire park run 😄
