Still here, still running! 🤩🌞

[Frenc]

Right, enough’s enough! I’ve been downright pathetic at posting of late, no idea why really, because I’ve been glued to the forum reading about everyone’s progress, highs, lows, and overall amazingness.

I repeated C25K in Jan/Feb due to injury, and have been pottering along ever since trying to build back up which hasn’t been so easy as I get little flare ups from time to time, not really helped by being surrounded by fairly hilly countryside which I love, but the old leg’s not always so keen. I managed 8k the other week but my leg really felt it afterwards, so today I was sensible and did a lovely 6.5k on the flat. I rediscovered little pockets of my area which are just lovely, and it’s absolutely glorious out today. I aimed towards a nature reserve on the other side of town, and pretty much finished up by the cathedral. It’s going to be busy out today with families and tourists all enjoying the weather and the holiday! I took way too many photos, some of which you can see in the attached picture.

I’ve learnt the art of patience, and am very much hoping to do the HU 10k next month, it’s so nice to have something to aim for.

I hope everyone has a smashing day! 😊😊😊

'The art of patience'An art indeed 😁

You are doing so well though and enjoying your surroundings which is great 😁👍

I don't doubt you'll be ready for the HU 10k !

Thanks so much Ian 😊. It’s weird really, I work in the centre of town but I’m always in a rush so don’t take much notice of my surroundings. So today was a treat!

Nice to hear from you Frenc 👋. I often read posts but rarely post myself. It takes more time and more brain power, and when things are busy I don’t quite have enough of either 🤪😂. It’s just good to pop in from time to time. Glad you are building things up again. On days like this, it’s just nice to be out 😁

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Frizzbomb67]

Thanks Frizzbomb I know what you mean, I just wish I had a bit more time - for everything really! It really is nice to be out today, I agree, I’m in spring cleaning mode so need to nip that in the bud sharpish 🤣.

Such beautiful photos Frenc, stunning blues. I'm building up again too, it certainly takes more patience than I was ever gifted with..... 'tis said that tolerating frustration is a sign of maturity.....2nd childhood here.!

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mormor1]

Well done on building back up again Mormor1 😊. I completely understand about the frustration and tolerance! Definitely a 2nd childhood here as well some days 🤣.

Lovely photos! I love a 'many photo run' it makes you happy doesn't it! You do notice more detail when you run - I drove some lanes today and decided to run them asap! I think you'll be fine for the HU 10k.

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Thank you! How nice to have a lane drive ‘recce’.

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

I was on the way to my friend's house, This friend does not 'get' me running at all and complains I put them to shame or calls me crazy 🤣 I don't talk running there at all!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks IP! I sincerely hope so, we shall see. It seems to be 2 steps forward, 1 back at the moment. Hope your running is going well! 😊😊😊

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thanks Bluebirdrunner yes indeed it does! And that HU 10k does sound like a good idea, doesn’t it 🤩.

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Lovely run! Nothing better than taking time to enjoy your surroundings. I've absolutely no doubt you will be ready for the HU10k.

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]
