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

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 🀞

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

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. 😁

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 !

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.

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

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.

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

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. πŸ‘Ώ

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

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 :D
