Today

[SueAppleRun]

I've been planning today's run for a couple of weeks, I haven't run yet this year because that lurgy I caught the day after Boxing Day has left us both with very little energy Firstly it's frosty out there and I really don't want to skid over, then our area is gridlocked due to ice, for goodness sake, the second frost of the winter and no one's going anywhere, thirdly, I've been waiting for my MRI to be cancelled due to nurses strike but phoned and no such luck.

Then I thought if I set off now I could Jeff it, only 25 miles, 😂😂😂😂😂

Then I saw this picture on Facebook and decided I'd better not, Willow might be very upset,

Hope you all have a great day and get a run

Your time will come again SueAppleRun It's always prudent to run safely to avoid injury. I like the saying 'All that was there will be there still' and it will be when the time comes 😊 Best wishes on the scan 🙏

Thanks, not even sure if traffic will allow us to get there but leaving soon

[dijep Graduate10]

Sorry to read this, it's a difficult time of year, so many different things can get it the way of our simple pleasure of running.I hope you are both fully recovered and that you get out soon, but only when it's safe ☺️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dijep]

Thanks, it's just a bit of a rough day

[Doris8 Graduate10]

good luck today on your MRI. Your time will come when you’ll be back out running again. Take care. X

I know

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Haha! I was on a roll, but haven't run gor quite a few days because of life stuff and feeling a bit under the weather. Let's get out there soon. There's no harm in having another rest day after that horrible virus you had.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Roxdog]

That's true and I'm off this weekend

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

It is freezing up here too! Mrs BC has been out with the ladies wot lunch, and said that our bit of town was the only area for miles around with ice and snow still visible! I am feeling victimised. I did get out on Monday for a nice interval run, and knowing that snow was on the way, I sneaked in my long run last Saturday. Tomorrow is meant to be a recovery run and I have hatched a cunning plan! Yesterday I, or rather our dog Molly, found a stretch of old railway line which was pretty safe underfoot. If I drive to the starting point ( thus avoiding an icy stretch) I should be able to fit in a 6 k out and back bimble, return to the car for warm clothing and then drop into the cafe for a restorative cuppa. As Black Adder would say, you could put whiskers on it and call it a weasel🐿️ (I know it’s a squirrel ….nearest I could find!).

Hope your MRI turns out well Sola ❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Beachcomber66]

Thanks, it went as well as it could

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

You’ll get there Sola! Life just throws stuff at us doesn’t it, like waiting for buses really. I’m assuming you didn’t Jeff to the scan - I hope it was all ok 😊.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Frenc]

It was just too far, all went ok thanks, but road closures all around our village so traffic bad

[Oldlady64]

Hope that you are both fit and well soon. I’m in a similar position, I’m only 8-9 days post covid and worrying about long covid (although I have no symptoms so far and am feeling ok!).

I loved the photo, it made me laugh a lot and that is worth a great deal right now.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldlady64]

COVID is horrible,flu is horrible but we can still laugh

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Hope the MRI turns out ok. Its so cold and icy right now and the runs will be there when conditions are right for you

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Very true, thanks

[Week7 Graduate10]

All very frustrating but you are one day closer to you next run than you were yesterday!Wishing you both well.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Week7]

That's true

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Oh my goodness...we are all stuck in this cycle of illness left overs and weather constraints. I am sorry that your run never happened.

You know from my ode that I empathise with you enormously! But.. on the positive side.??? I will have more snowy photographs for you, as I have just opened the curtains on another snowy day.. not forecast!

Thank goodness we have friends here who can run and keep us inspired by their adventures... Our time will come... we just have to keep on being patient, and as you are doing, sensibly stay inside, and stay safe .

Flossx

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

You are so right as always Floss xx

[Yesletsgo Graduate10]

Best not to risk slipping over, especially if you've got 25 km of it!Hope all is good, the weather will warm up soon enough 😁

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

It's not so cold now

[MrBassmanjazz]

😀

[OldManRunning Graduate10]

Just had cancellation of club run tonight because of ice, gutted now. "You could just go out for a run by yourself" I hear you saying, yes I agree but I'm the one who'll now fall over because I've been told not to do a run because it's dangerous, that's my luck. Well parkrun Saturday fingers crossed 🤞

[Folkylass Administrator]

Hope your MRI goes or has gone ok Sola and also you will get back out there I’m sure. Running will stil be there tomorrow, and the next day ,and the next!😀😀.

Take care.😀

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Folkylass]

It went ok thanks, and I'm hopeful for the weekend

[Folkylass Administrator in reply to SueAppleRun]
