New Day New Year New Run

[SueAppleRun]

Happy New year all runners, testers and awesome virtual friends.I've been planning today for days, as I sat with my lemsip tissues and misery.

Yesterday I didn't feel so ill so I dragged myself into work, didn't achieve much but did catch up on a few things and tidied my desk a bit, looked at my bosses dirty cup on her desk thought about washing it up for her then thought stuff it she can do it when she gets back Tuesday, I did empty her bin though as it was spilling over the floor.

So, planned this morning, should we drive to the river? I could run Willow could walk, should we drive to the beach? Should we go to the park? Nice paths but um kids on new bikes with new puppies, the world and his wife will be out there .... So decided to go a loop round here.

Dressed, music on, out the door, music stopped, back in, faff with earbuds and Spotify, music on, out the door, music stopped, oh well keep going,

Walk, brisk, big was of kitchen towel roll in my hand, mop my eyes, blow my nose, this cold is annoying and very wet, cough (are we allowed to cough in public now)

Ran, walked, ran, turned right, passed a few people with dogs, cheery good mornings and Happy New Year's returned

Turned right again, ran and walked, decision time, cut through the park and be home in 2 minutes or turn right and get a 3k loop, right turn won, and soon home

3k in 30 min 30 secs, and so happy I went.

Cup of tea ready and waiting, bath running

Wishing you all injury free running in 2023

Happy run. You never regret a run, however snotty! Well done and a happy new year!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Roxdog]

You are so right, and I feel so much better and happier 😊

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

A very happy new year to you! Well done for remembering tissues-that’s a rotten thing to be caught without!! Great run/walk. Bet those cobwebs were well and truly blown away. Enjoy that bath and cup of tea-what a treat to have them to come home to! ❤️ 🫖 🏃‍♀️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

He's better at tea and baths than running lol but he can double my plank time

[dijep Graduate10]

It must be the day for 3k runs. Like you I was clutching a bit of kitchen roll all the way round.🤧Good you feel better soon x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dijep]

Yes it's great isn't it? Knowing we are all doing it. X

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Great photo 😄

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

well done  SueAppleRun …so glad you’re feeling better & made the decision to run where you did coz it sounds like you proper enjoyed it…happy new year to you and your family x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mummycav]

Thanks and to you and yours X

[Doris8 Graduate10]

Happy new year to you both. Sometimes a run helps the sniffles especially a head cold. Well done . Had to do a 5 km treadmill run walk as raining outside. Not used to treadmills kept on stopping and starting should have asked how to setup. Better than nothing . Enjoy the rest of your day 🎉

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Doris8]

And to you both, me ned the end of a chest cold, I haven't coughed like this since I stopped smoking but everyone around me has had it too, it's a miserable time of year so it's good to run/walk either inside or out, treadmills can be a bit strange

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Well done (again 😊) Sola! It must have felt so good to get out. A great way to start the new year 😁😁😁🥳🥳🥳.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Frenc]

Thank you and I'm hoping to keep going this month, and well done you too, do you have wishes and running dreams for this year?

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Oh Sola - it’s been a very difficult decision to make but I’ve decided to start C25K again - just too many niggles/injuries that won’t settle down. I’ve been mulling it over for the last few days and decided that I’d see after this morning’s 3k which while lovely to do, made me realise I need to go back to basics. It’s annoying because I feel pretty fit at the moment 🤣. But on the bright side I feel as though I’m doing something positive about it and very much hope to be running like a gazelle through the country lanes again come Spring! All the best.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Frenc]

Oh you will be, when I redid it I was much faster, although have slowed down again

[030961 60minGraduate in reply to Frenc]

Just keep those lovely country lanes in sight, and you’ll just love it. Keep going Frenc, you inspire us all.

Well done on getting out there especially after the ear phone failure x 2. Would've been so easy to have thrown in the towel at that point. Hopefully you are enjoying the fruits of your labour now. Happy 2023 to you WillowandSola!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to 59er]

Happy New year to you too, I gave up and ran without music, I seem to have changed something on my phone so as soon as I leave the house the music stops

[59er Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I'm sure you'll work it out! 🙂

[mrrun Graduate10]

You’ve done the right thing, top job! No other way! 👊👊👊👍

I went to bed late last night, previously that was the integral part of my lifestyle but now I can’t tolerate it easily. Woke up in a state, somehow downed some coffee and whatever else I found, put on my shiny basketball gear and ran 5k as fast as l could with Derek Trucks blasting in my earbuds. That’s what we do nowadays, easy or hard, we go out and run. 😉😀

Happy 2023 all!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to mrrun]

Sounds perfect mrrun

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Happy New Year!

Hope you feel totally better very soon.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

And to you, I'm feeling better than I was thanks

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10]

Well done on getting out for a runSueAppleRun , you're very brave to do it with a runny nose! I hate it when both my nose runs and my legs are running and probably wouldn't volunteer for it.

And well done for leaving your boss's cup. For tidy people it can be so much easier to just sort it out than the alternative. Let us know if it's still there when you go back in

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

She's back a day before me so she'll have washed it, used it and left it again, my nose and eyes were very runny and I'm a bit chesty but I'm sure it did me good to be out today

[grumpyoldgirl]

Well done sola, and a happy new year to you both.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

And to you

[030961 60minGraduate]

Just really lovely and a great start to the new year. Keep inspiring us all!

Happy New Year Folkylass

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

A good start to the year Sola..maybe this will be your best running year ever. 🙂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Beachcomber66]

Let's hope eh? And let's hope for a best running year for us all too 😃 I'm feeling very positive at the moment

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

[Week7 Graduate10]

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Week7]

Thanks, colds go on a bit

[YorkieRunner]

Happy New Year to you both. Hope you feel better soon x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to YorkieRunner]

Thank you, 😊

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Oh well done! And Happy New Year to you and Willow.That reminds me so much of my post covid runs, nose streaming, wads of tissues stuffed everywhere they could be, coughing and hacking as I went, wondering what other people were thinking as we passed.

Hope you're fully recovered soon and 2023 brings you many joyous runs

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Happy New Year to you and yours too, it's the chesty cough that bothers me, 2 staff at work had COVID and the rest of us had a cold, we'd actually stopped regular testing awhile ago and it wasn't fun testing again, Let's hope this year brings lots of lovely runs for us all

[Oldlady64 Graduate10]

Hope that you are feeling fully fit again soon! I’ve just managed a decent, short run, but I’m happy with that!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldlady64]

A run is a good reason to feel happy 🙂 I've had a lazy day still not better but getting there, I wanted to go out this morning but my head and legs got into an argument and I stayed home instead

[Oldlady64 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

It sounds very wise, to wait until you really feel fit and well. I’m sure it will be well worth it when you do get back out 😁

[LottieMW Ambassador]

yay! Sounds like a good run…and a cuppa plus bath waiting…result! 🙌🏼

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

It was a lovely run thanks, but I'm coughed Ng more and more so gave it a miss today

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

we’ll done on getting out there with your cold too. Sounds like my kind of run. Walk run walk run. Happy New Year to you too 🤣🤣🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Scruff55]

Thank you and I'm pleased I went, although this cold has moved south and coughing and wheezing has stopped me in my tracks

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

o dear. Take care of your. The runs will still be there

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Scruff55]

Thanks, I am, Saturday possibly but in no hurry at the moment

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]
