Why does Facebook like to rub it in !!! 😐

[Instructor57]

Thanks FB ! 😐😐😐Just what I needed (Not!)

Ahh well, telephone consultation this afternoon with cardiac rehab .

But unfortunately the rehab was thrown off track with first the plantar Fasciitis and then the back issue following my bike ride !

I then have a 2nd physio appointment tomorrow over my back .

It's certainly improving but very very slowly .

The 10k with negative splits shown in the picture feels like a very distant memory!

Hopefully one day it will happen again 🤞

That's so mean of Facebook. My phone keeps throwing up photos from a year ago, you will get there, it's been a terrible time for you but you will .Believe and it will happen

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks Sola ! 🙏 xx

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

You will get back to running 10K soon Ian, just take all your walks and eventually runs slow and steady✅👍

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Alan , I keep believing 👍

[Roxdog Graduate10]

I hope so too!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

It will come, just had a bit of an off day 🙂

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

It WILL happen again! Keep the faith and all will be well 🏃‍♂️🙂

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Your right !Just the FB post coincided with a bit of an off day 😐

[LottieMW Ambassador]

FB memories can be a real kick in the teeth sometimes ☹️

Here’s hoping for positive news for you with the physio tomorrow 🤞🏼

10k will be yours again…it may just take a little longer than planned…🐌🏃🏻‍♂️🥳

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

Thanks .And yes, I can accept the timescale as long as I can see the light 🙂

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to Instructor57]

👍🏼

It will happen again. Best wishes with your rehab and physio. Get well, rest up and then you will bounce back. Bit by bit you will get better and get back there again.

Thankfully I don’t get Facebook memories, as I left Facebook 7-8 years ago. Facebook is just a memory to me now. 😁

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

Haha, just a memory , I like that 😁

I actually only joined FB a few years ago when I went independent with the driving school.As I'm now thinking of retiring I will probably leave again !

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10]

You'll be back. You definitely sound like you're making progress.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Thanks, and yes, the progress is there , if a little frustrating at times 🙂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

It is their way to keep you motivated and striving to move on... That's what I feel anyway.

You will get there...you simply have to believe it x

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

I believe 😁 xx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

I have the T shirt... ( literally ), Well done you!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

😁👍 xx

[Freecloud Graduate10]

You could look at it another way and say YES I did this! You made the best of what you could instead of sitting on the couch.. You could be in the situation now of thinking I should have looked after myself got fit and started running.

Things catch up to us with age and it's part of life, we have to work with it and then get back when we can at an effort we are able for.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Freecloud]

You are so right 👍

[linda9389 Graduate10]

It will. And it will be all the better for the wait. Good luck with the appts. Positive steps forward 🙏

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Thanks, waiting outside at the physio now 🤞

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

Been there! Flipping Facebook memories. Just want to pull faces at them sometimes.

You’ll get there. It’s hard when you’re in the middle of it but you’ll look back on your Facebook memories from today in a year’s and be overwhelmed by how far you’ll have come by then. Small steps take time but they’ll get you there. We’re all cheering you on xx

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to MissUnderstanding]

I'm sure you are right 🙂👍

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

I'm sure it will. Positive steps forwards. Good luck with the telephone appointment and the physio.I don't really do FB and I don't post so don't have any memories to be reminded of 😀

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

Thanks, if I don't restart work then I will close FB !

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

You can alway rely on Fb can’t you but I’m sure it was kindly meant! I hope the physio and cardiac consultations give you some positive feedback!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Fingers crossed 🤞Just arrived at the physio now 🙂

[Cmoi Graduate10]

Sympathy and empathy Instructor57 . Better times will come for you, and I'm sending you every good wish for a full recovery and patience for the process.

As for Facebook and Strava, if they really cared they wouldn't impose those posts on their users. Claiming it's because they care is hypocritical nonsense - the posts are entirely algorithm-driven.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

I appreciate your good wishes, thank you !And yes, I'm very aware of the FB algorithms and couldn't agree more 👍

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Years ago FB sent me a bouncy little reminder of the post I'd done when our previous dog died suddenly. The fact that it started with the word "Devastated" didn't matter to the algorithms.

More helpfully, when I posted how much I loathed a particular politician, the algorithms kept suggesting pages I could "like" in support of that same politician. I took great delight in blocking them all instead. 👿

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

Yes, tbh, if I decide not to work anymore then I will close my FB account, I only went on to create a business page

[backintime Graduate10]

Look at it as proof of what you can do and a goal to aim for? (just trying for a positive spin)

You know you'll get back to it, the runs are waiting for you.

I refuse to give FB my data to lose and exploit - the amount of fines and data breaches they've had are ridiculous. I have a very low social media presence, this is the only place I write anything at all - I think I don't have an interesting enough life to share anyway
