2k non stop, then walk on beach and home

[SueAppleRun]

I was in bed reading and drinking tea this morning wondering why I'd bother getting dressed and out for a run.....flaming gremlins. .....I'm so slow, what's the point? I said as much in a message to Jools2020 who came back with... .well it's your decision whether you run or not!!! It works every time 🤣

So a bit of gentle grumbling and mumbling I dressed in running clothes and off I went.

A bit of a warm up walk and I ran slowly and gently, less puffed out today, the plan was to run for 10 mins and walk a bit but I'm rubbish with plans and just kept going.....a couple of runners passed me and said good morning, for a little while I sped up to see if I could keep up but soon realised I was happier at the slower pace so watched them get further and further away.....crossed the road, ran across the grass and along the top path marvelling of the beauty of the sky and sea, once I got to 2k with a grin I dropped down to a walk and went onto the beach to take photos of the sea .

Then I walked home 1.72k 😁

I enjoyed that, run happy or rest well xx

Thanks, still really slow but it's great to run without getting puffed out again.....

well done and well done to Jools for helping to motivate you 👍. Lovely photos

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Killerblue]

She's been such great support this year when I've been too ill to walk let alone run, and now nudges me out the door when I'm procrastinating 😁, the people on this forum have made a difference too

[59er Graduate10]

Those views are enough to make anyone feel better!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to 59er]

They certainly are 😁

[Wavy-chick28 Graduate10]

I woke up feeling rubbish today had to force myself out because we all know it makes sense !! 🎄💚 I would’ve missed out on the sun 😅

Sun coming up

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Wavy-chick28]

That's a gorgeous photo 🥰

[Oldlady64 Graduate10]

What stunning photos! Sounds as if you’re building up your running/walking well and being outdoors has so many benefits too 👍.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldlady64]

It sure does thank you

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

😊 Well done, Sue! I knew you’d be pleased if you went ….

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jools2020]

I know it too Jools 😂

I am thanks Annie, I fell asleep for a while 😂 xx

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Stepping outside is the hardest bit isn’t it, but once out we all love it. Your pics are evidence that it’s a lovely place to run too.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

You are quite right Dexy, it's hard to get back into a routine but hopefully some running during winter will prepare me for spring 😁

[Doris8 Graduate10]

Well done

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Doris8]

Thank you 😊

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10]

The power of psychology! Jools knew which buttons to press but it took your effort to react and go for a run

Lovely photos!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

She does it every time 🤣 but it's good to be encouraged, I love the sky and sea they are different every time I go to the beach and that's most days

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Fabulous photos Sue! Well done on persuading yourself to get out and run. Slow doesn’t really matter for we snails, does it - we put in just as much effort as those speedy types, even if we don’t cover quite as much ground! Go you!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

I'm loving being able to run, but find it harder to get out when it's cold

[RunKRun]

I bet you’re glad you did bother now eh Sue. Well done. You were rewarded with amazing skies. Getting stronger every day. Xx

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to RunKRun]

It's so slow but lovely to be able to run a bit xx

[Week7 Graduate10]

Good decision!!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Week7]

😁thanks

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

I’m glad you overcame those gremlins Sue otherwise we wouldn’t have this lovely post to read. Keep going!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to RunBrianRun]

Aww thank you Brian, it's so hard to get out the door but when I do it's magic.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Love it . As the saying goes: You got this!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to RunBrianRun]

And this morning dropped the car off at garage, walked home, then later walked back to pick it up 😁, MOT done for another year 😄.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]
