Runniversary running

[Oldgirlruns]

According to the kitchen calendar, which always tells the truth, today is my 4th runniversary so I decided to do something different from my usual mindless plod listening to music.  Dexy5 persuaded me ages ago to download the NRC app and always seems to enjoy the runs she does so off I went on a very basic Coach Cory led 20 minute trot.  Loved it!  OK, it was only 20 minutes but I decided to call it a recovery run after my 7.5km on Monday and I found myself chuckling along to some of the things he said.  And I’ll be doing more in the future as I try to get my mojo back.  And I promise I’ll post a bit more too, I’ve been very quiet on that front for a while! And to celebrate my runniversary?  A haircut this morning followed by a pepper hunt - OGR’s living the life!(And an apology to all you English scholars for starting all those sentences with ‘and’😂!).

happy run-anniversary OGRs. The use of ‘And’ at the beginning of a sentence for emphasis is fine!!! In fact more than fine it shows creative use of a Conjunction so long as it is used in moderation. Gold star from me xxx

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Shake-and-run]

Thank you Shakes!

[PeggySusi]

Happy anniversary. And, no apology necessary - in my opinion.. language is about communication. And, life is far too short to worry about the grammar police..😊

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to PeggySusi]

Very true PeggySusi!

[Chinkoflight]

Great stuff, run with a smile, all the mojo you need!

[hamit Graduate10]

Coach Cory rocks😁

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Happy 4th Runniversary ! 🥳 How can it be that long?

I’m really glad you enjoyed your NRC guided run Oldgirlruns . I am sure you will enjoy the company of Coach Bennett too; that’s if Oldfloss doesn’t mind sharing him even further. I did his Funky Fartleks this morning which always gets me smiling, because he says if you smile as you run it is easier.

A run before the hairdressers - I am impressed. 🏃‍♀️

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Impressed Dexy? So was I!! I knew if I didn’t go early, I probably wouldn’t go at all!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I'll share....I know I'm his special girl 😀

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

Happy Runniversary to you! 🏃‍♀️💪🥳🏅Great way to celebrate. I’ve enjoyed the runs with coach Cory too. Kind of feel like the coaches on NRC are my friends now…along with the wonderful Denise Lewis from couch25k days!

You’ve done some super things since you started, it must be so lovely to look back on them.

And no need to apologise for starting with “and”!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Thank you MissU; yes, it’s been an interesting 4 years and crikey haven’t they flown by!

[JeanneMary]

And it's good to hear from you Oldgirlruns! And I've lost my mojo lately so might just take some inspiration from you with this app. And thanks. JM x

[CBDB Graduate10]

Happy Runniversary! A great way to celebrate a year full of running, and a next year to come! Enjoy your runs with Coaches Cory and Chris!

Happy Runniversary Card

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Thank you for the card CBDB, a very kind thought!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Happy 4th runniversary Oldgirlruns, is it not your 5th, aren't you a member of the class of 2018?, that's now 5 years ago, anyway, a big congratulations 🎊 ✅👍

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Hallo Al , thank you for your congratulations; I hope you’re keeping well! No I wasn’t a member of that happy little 2018 band, I spent most of that year recovering from a broken wrist and plantar fasciitis! But I’ve come to know them through Dexy5 who is a member!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Congratulations on your runniversary OGR, and what a fine way to celebrate; with the lovely Coach Cory. He’s great. 😀

I am the grammar and spelling police combined, but forum posts and replies don’t need to be so strict, and I break all kinds of rules on here! Don’t tell my English teacher. She was well scary. 😅

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I’m with you cheeky - I try and do the right thing when I can just in case anyone’s checking on me!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Spelling...eek....the wrong spelling jumps off the page at me!!!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Me too OF. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[Comfortnotspeed Graduate10]

Whoop whoop! Happy 4th RUNNIVERSARY 👏👏👏👏

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

Thank you Comfort, hope you’re keeping well!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Happy runniversary!!Well done you...Happy hair cut too!!! I am quite happy with any And....my bete noir when teaching...Nice!

Hope you found peppers...I am getting the greenhouse sorted for all the sowing.. peppers on the list!

Well done on your run...do try Coach Bennett too...I will share ..I know he has to help a few others 🙃

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Sadly no fresh peppers Oldfloss but it’s February so I can live without!

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Happy runniversary OGR - glad you enjoyed your guided run (I've managed to avoid them so far after getting on for 5 years!). And😜 well done on your 7.5k too - I must have missed that.😀

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

No you didn’t miss my 7.5k run JP - I didn’t get round to posting about it!🙄

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

Happy Runniversary OGR. NRC keeps messaging me to encourage me to run again, but since I joined my running club, I haven’t been listening to anything. Maybe I should for the last few solo runs of RED February. And happy haircut too 😊

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Thanks Sandie! Enjoy your running club - I’m not sure how a club would cope with my slooow pace so the NRC runs will probably be my equivalent of running with other people!

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Happy Runniversary OGR! 🥳💐

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

Thanks for the flowers LottieMW!

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to Oldgirlruns]

I love sending people flowers! 💕😊

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10]

Congratulations on your runniversary! I like the NRC app too and the coaches. I can actually remember reading a sentence starting with And in a novel and thinking oh well it makes sense now 🤣 must be ok! Then I married a dyslexic and put a dyslexic child through school and now I understand the spellings and never pass judgement. Sometimes they're not errors - just reinvented. 👌😃

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Thanks CLR!

[linda9389 Graduate10]

Love this! You're back. Happy runniversary 🥰

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Happy Runniversary!🙂🎉

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Happy Runniversary! You are just over a month before us. Where does the time go? I love NRC guided runs, they really pass the time, are fun and informative. A haircut too 😀 and a pepper hunt too

So happy you are still here

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thankyou Sola, no it doesn’t seem possible really does it - 4 years in a flash! I’ll stick with the NRC runs I think, they do seem to come highly recommended!

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

Happy runniversary OGR - great to hear you are out there enjoying yourself. 🤗🤗

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

Thanks Elfe5, I just keep plodding on! Hope you’re well?

[Elfe5 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Finally climbing out of a bad patch with flu which was promptly followed by another virus. 🙄 Looking forward to getting back to running. 😄

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Congratulations on your 4 year runniversary 😁. And your NRC run. And the haircut! (Couldn’t resist the ands). Here’s to many more happy years of running 😊😊😊.
