🍏 Not Quite Back On Track

[Annieapple]

A little over 6 weeks ago I bid you all a temporary farewell after my last run, as I faced major Neuro surgery. Your many kind messages were both encouraging and an incentive to be back here as fast as possible. Due to complications I am at present not able to run but will take great joy in following your journeys once again. It will be a great incentive to get back to the dream of putting on those trainers & heading out on my favourite coastal paths. Don’t forget to pack your trainers as you head out for your summer breaks.. Run while you can!! ☀️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃

So good to read you are ok. Dream away!

[Annieapple Administrator]

🍏😊Love the heart bunting!!! Thank you !!! That cheers me on! Yes the walking forum will be my best bet. My watch is not very happy with me at the moment!! 🤣

[VS1975 Graduate10]

Nice to see you back Annieapple, all the best in your continued recovery x

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to VS1975]

🍏🤩 Thank you so much! Are you happy with your latest watch? Better than Apple??

[VS1975 Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

Well I haven’t had the chance to use it properly yet! (Used once) I’ve had covid that lead to sinus/chest infection. So I blamed my Hubby for jinxing me 🤣

I do miss my Apple Watch esp to ping my phone when I can’t find it!

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to VS1975]

🍏Hope you are recovering ❤️‍🩹 sorry to hear that! Xx

[VS1975 Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

Thank you. Slowly, I’ve managed 2 runs, one 3.7k the other 4.5k. Both were hard work, I’m not overdoing it, I know I’ll gradually build back to where I was.

Hope you’re enjoying the sunshine & getting better everyday too x

[Gthants 60minGraduate]

Welcome back! I'm running little, but have started at a gym and am "building muscle." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to Gthants]

🍏🤣 Better than me…🤣 No muscles

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Good to see you back! Wishing you all the best for your recovery 😊

[Annieapple Administrator]

🍏🤩 Thank you Jools! Well done on your lovely 10k run which included the bonus of nesting swans 🦢 How blessed are we on our runs! Xx

[Jools2020 Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

We are indeed! Saw a fox the other morning. There must be lots round here - I often notice them on my security camera when I’m checking footage. They look like ghostly dogs running across my drive at night! 😊

[Bruch1]

Good to have you back Annie. So glad you've come through your neuro op and are well on the road to recovery. We'll all keep running for you whilst you gather your strength to start again. Sending lots of love and best wishes 😘

[Annieapple Administrator]

🍏👋Sooo kind of you!! Thank you ☺️ Lovely to catch up with you again!

[Madwife60]

glad to hear from you Annieapple. Sorry to hear things are not mended my as quickly as you hoped. I’ve been whining about my post COVID fatigue but your post is a salutary reminder of how lucky I am in general with my health and to enjoy what I’ve got. I’ll dedicate my next shuffle to you and send you lots of positivity and love xxx

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to Madwife60]

🍏 Post Covid fatigue is debilitating and scary at times so take good care of you! Need your lovely positivity and look forward to that shuffle of yours but don’t overdo things too quickly! Xx

[Wavy-chick28 Graduate10]
