Congratulations to all the HU10 runners and update from me

[SueAppleRun]

I've so enjoyed reading all the HU10 posts, bit sad I wasn't joining in this year but maybe next year 😁.well done everyone running and our amazing admin team for organising.I'm collecting keys for my new home on Friday, as you can imagine I'm feeling somewhat twitchy at the moment. I've had a really nasty bug that lingered......and lingered some more......but I seem to have finally kicked it out. It's left me with very little energy and what I have is being used up with packing!!!

My new home parkrun will be Gorleston Cliffs.....just down the road from the famously tough Great Yarmouth.....I'm sure after a few months running on a sandy beach I will give that one a go.

I have a long drive and not committing to parkrun Saturday but hoping to go along to see exactly where it goes, so I can run the course during the week once settled, it does look lovely if like me you like running by the sea.

I'm going to miss the rolling green hills of the South Downs but intend to be back for visits, I'll still have some family and friends this way.

Enjoy whatever you do, run, rest or eat cake 😁

Here's a photo of my nearest part of the beach, there are 3 paths that go end to end, I think a couple of miles long with short sharp slopes from level to level,

[Fionamags Graduate10]

That looks like a lovely place to run - I can almost smell the sea breeze! You must be exhausted with all the packing - it’s a huge task moving house, isn’t it? It’s a shame you are getting over a bug as well since you need all the energy you can get at the moment. Well it will be wonderful when you are all unpacked and sorted. It’s a new chapter, with new routes, new park run….. I hope you’ll be very happy in your new home. 🍾🥂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fionamags]

Thank you, it's a huge change and a bit scary but I'm looking forward to it

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Good luck on Friday Sue, a big upheaval but it will be wonderful to still be near family and somewhere new.

That path next to the beach looks so inviting, you will enjoy some lovely runs along there I'm sure.

I hope you feel stronger and get your energy back as you settle into your new home.

🏡🥂🍾xxx

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thanks 😁😁😁, it's lovely along there and I'm looking forward to gentle runs to rebuild my stamina xx

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Such a shame you’ve had this bug and it’s taken seemingly ages for you to feel better.

I can’t believe how quickly this has come round - and now in 2 days you pick up the keys. Yes, exciting and scary at the same time. A new chapter. Can’t wait to come and see you there!

Your local park run looks lovely and doable.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks Jools, I can't believe how quick it's come round, it's good to feel better though

[Shake-and-run Graduate10]

what an exciting new adventure! Good luck with the move on Friday, looking forward to reading your run reports once your settled in.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Shake-and-run]

Thank you, I'm itching to run along there, oh and swim in that sea too

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

That road looks so inviting for a run! Imagine running there on a gorgeous day with the smell of the sea beside you 🥰

Good luck with the move Sue and take lots of time out just to enjoy your new surroundings and relish in the change. If you're anything like me when we moved, I kept finding things at the bottom of boxes that I forgot I had, “ooh I forgot about that. What a lovely surprise!” 🥰xxx

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Ha ha, oh the packing is such fun, I had a clear out last year but I can't believe what I've got left, I've finally thrown out the last of Willows clothes, apart from a couple of jumpers that I might wear xxx

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

That’s a lovely idea 🥰

[Gthants 60minGraduate]

Hope your move goes really well & that you are happy in your new home.

I've had some sort of lurgy too and it has severely curtailed my last three runs and now stopped me altogether. Think I just need a break for a while, but it's always frustrating not to be able to run!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Gthants]

Thanks, it's very frustrating isn't it?

[Oldlady64 Graduate10]

How exciting for you! Good luck with the move and settling in. Looking forward to seeing some photos!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldlady64]

Thanks, I'm excited

[linda9389 Graduate10]

Wishing you lots of happiness in, and great runs from, your new home SAR 💐

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda

[LottieMW Ambassador]

That looks a fab place to run! Sorry you’ve been poorly, but hopefully all will be well for your move 💕

Good luck and wishing you well in your new home 😄

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

Lots better now thanks and thank you 😀

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Sorry to hear about your bug SAR; it’s not what you need when you’re trying to get packed up and move . But I hope it all goes OK and that you’re soon settled into your new home. And enjoy your new parkrun home when you get to it! All the best!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thanks, I'm doing ok, I'm picking keys up Friday and will stay a night or two, then back and forth until 7th June when my furniture goes, I'll relax once I get the keys

[dijep Graduate10]

That looks lovely.Good luck with the move I hope it all goes smoothly and I'm sure you'll soon be settled into your new home and new running routes

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dijep]

🍏Hi Sue your new run routes sound amazing and so hoping you will settle in to your new home. Change is always scary and a bit stressful even change for the better. However knowing you it’s going to be lots of adventures! Glad you are beginning to feel better physically but these things can’t be rushed!

“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

The hobbits got it right... A new phase, a new adventure and what a glorious place to be ...sea air, family and new friendships are waiting

I wish you joy, I wish you contentment and of of course... MANY, many, many happy runs...

Oldfloss x

Always remember, wherever you are running.. there is magic in our running shoes... and as my photo states...

New adventures....

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

That's so lovely, thank you Floss xx

[Week7 Graduate10]

A ridiculously busy, stressful and exciting time for you!Hope all goes well with the move. What an amazing place to be moving to just in time for the summer! Many beautiful walks and runs waiting for you when you are fit and ready.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Week7]

Thank you, yes, it's going to be amazing exploring 😀

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Oh wow! How fantastic, scary, exciting and wonderful! I've obviously missed a lot in my absence on here. Sorry you have been so poorly but happy you seem to be shaking it off at last.Good luck for Friday. I hope you will be very happy in your new home SueAppleRun

I think I said before I have so many lovely memories of childhood visits and holidays to that area. It will be an amazing place to run, but that North Sea is cold!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Thank you ,😄 yes, cold and bracing but I'll let you into a little secret ( there are heated pools nearby 🤣) childhood visits and holidays are shared, there was nothing better after several hours on trains to run around on the soft sand and roll down the sand dunes before staggering up again ..

[00marks Graduate10]

I know Gorleston very well as that is where my in-laws live!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to 00marks]

Lovely, I've loved what I've seen so far

[Ping-pong 60minGraduate]

Sorry you've been under the weather but pleased you're getting over it in time for your move. What exciting times ahead running along that glorious path and elsewhere. And you'll have family nearby too. Sounds like perfection! You're going in the opposite direction from me - from the South Downs (where I live now) to East Anglia (where I was born). Enjoy, you've earned it after all you've been through!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Ping-pong]

Aww thanks,

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10]

Good luck with the move! What a change it'll be swapping the south coast for the east, but the North Sea has a beauty all its own.Hope you're feeling better by moving day, such a stressful process, you'll be fine once you're in your new home.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

Thanks, so far I'm just enjoying the process

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10]

All the very best for your move - the new run route sounds great. I'm sure (once you are fully recovered) you will enjoy trying new routes. Happy new home day for tomorrow.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Thank you, I'm feeling equally excited and sad at the moment but looking forward to it, there are woods with trails too apparently, I'm looking forward to exploring those

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I understand the sadness too. I hope the excitement will take over too as it sounds a beautiful area to explore

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Thanks, it's lovely and I love my new home

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

Good luck today! I hope the move goes well. How exciting having a whole new area to explore and discover. A fresh start, but taking all your happy memories with you xx

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Sandie1961]

Thanks Sandie, it is exciting but a bit tiring too xx

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

Sending masses of good wishes your way SueAppleRun . There’s a lot of support for here and you can complete your move knowing many, many, many people are wishing you well.

I hope the new runs bring many happy new memories. Good luck with getting the keys!!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Thank you 😊 I've got the keys and unloaded the car, could do with a snooze now

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

That’s great news! You will sleep will tonight after all the work you’ve been doing today!! And moving house definitely counts as strength training!!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

That's what I thought as I carried boxes and bags in 😁

[Doris8 Graduate10]

That looks lovely where you’re going. Good luck in your move, a new beginning , and hope you feel better soon. The moving part of house and packing etc can be stressful , take care x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Doris8]

Thanks Doris, it's been fairly stressful free so far but I'm back south in a day or two to pack up more things and return, then in 7th my furniture is moving and apart from one more trip I'll be here for good, it's lucky I like driving 😀

[GTFC Graduate10]

SueAppleRun wishing you courage, strength and discovery in each and every day. I love the area, surrounding towns and villages and the county itself. Here's to adventures ahead 🙌

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GTFC]

Thank you 😁

[VS1975 Graduate10]
