I ran 1k

[SueAppleRun]

In 9 minutes and 26 seconds, phew, that was far enough but I'm glad I went out.I've been going round saying I'll get out every day, even if it's only a 5 minute run it's better than nothing.... .and not actually doing it!!! 😯

So this morning I put leggings on instead of jeans , still wore a hoodie over my thin top though, it's cold out there.

I walked a few minutes, probably around half a kilometre, I didn't start the watch for the warm up walk. Then off I ran, kept going for a fraction over 10 minutes then back to a walk and home I went.

So that's day 1,

I still say leggings are like satsumas! Peel a satsuma and you eat it.....put leggings on and you run 😁.

Run happy or rest well all.

It's misty and murky and next doors hedge is covered in cobwebs And dew drops

Bravo SueAppleRun ! Yes it’s not inviting out but you did it, little steps 😶‍🌫️

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

Thanks Jools

[nowster Graduate10]

Very misty and murky here on the opposite coast too, and it was a mental struggle to get out. That and the cat deciding to curl up on my lap whilst I was on the loo.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to nowster]

That made me laugh nowster thank you

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Well done to you Sue on running for 9 minutes and 26 seconds in these rather misty cold conditions, I wish you well for 2025.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

Wishing you well in 2025 too Al

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

well done SueAppleRun …I’ve done that in the past…put my running gear on ready for when I’m ready…it works…might have to try it again..thanks for the reminder 😜

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mummycav]

It really does work,no peeled a couple of satsumas this afternoon too 🤣🤣🤣

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Just don't get your satsumas and leggings mixed up SueAppleRun . While it's a great idea to peel a satsuma then run you don't want to risk eating your leggings!! 😂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

Definitely not!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Yesletsgo]

🤣🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

That’s a lovely photo Sue! Well done on getting out there, even if it is only for a short while - as you say, it’s so much better than not doing it! I’m really pleased for you!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thanks 😁 I finished my jumper yesterday, I had to do something 🤣🤣🤣 it's the first fairisle I've ever done

Jumper

[RunKRun in reply to SueAppleRun]

Proper impressed with your jumper Sue! I’ve always avoided Fairisle. Happy to do stripes and Aran patterns but it’s something about the wools getting tangled up. 🤣 Maybe you’ve inspired me. Another job for when I retire! Xx

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to RunKRun]

Aww thanks, I'd always avoided fairisle before but have enjoyed the challenge, and did get the hang of not letting the wool get all tangled up xx

[RunKRun in reply to SueAppleRun]

The result speaks for itself. A great achievement. Xx

[Oldlady64 Graduate10]

It’s really great to hear of this progress!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldlady64]

Thank you

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

you are so right SueAppleRun , running doesn’t happen unless you get those leggings on straight away.

Well done on your run today

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you Dexy

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Huge well done you ! Out there and doing it! x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks Floss, with the pain and having been so unwell it would be easy to sink into old age and not run again x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I know that feeling... I really do.... I am hoping weather and your run today, will get me out tomorrow... the thick fog of the last two days is set to lift!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

That's good, its been so murky here we couldn't see the sea

Sea

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Ha ha.. The Fog! x

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Brilliant - well done! And I agree about the running tights…I think it’s something to do with intention.🤔🙂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Ah that's what it is 😁 thank you

[Tetleyteagirl Graduate10]

it’s been a murky couple of days down here on south coast too. A huge well done to you Sueapplerun, sense of achievement must be huge for you 🥰, listen to your body though and don’t overdo it. Slow and steady as we all know.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Tetleyteagirl]

Thanks, yes I think a lot of the country has been murky and foggy but hopefully will clear soon.I can only do slow and steady nowadays but with consistency I might improve 😁

[ChannelRunner2 Graduate10]

Congratulations on your run, SueAppleRun ! Since HU tells me you posted this 17 hours ago, I can't help but ask: Did you put on the leggings again today? 😉

Thank you also for the beautiful photo! Spiderwebs are so amazing!!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to ChannelRunner2]

The webs are beautiful aren't they, to answer your question about leggings, not yet, I don't get going that early lately and have had a heating problem to deal.with.

[GoogleMe Graduate10]

I am, sadly, forever putting on the leggings and not running... (but it is still more effective than not putting on the leggings at all)

Bravo for your kilometre (and your time, I am very happy with under 10 minutes these days)

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GoogleMe]

There probably have been days when I've put the leggings on but not run. I was thrilled with my time too, since I got ill back in July I haven't run much and most of my kilometres have taken 11-12 minutes, mind you, when I came out of hospital at the end of August I felt triumphant if I could walk to the kitchen to make tea and back, so although a long slow journey it's getting there. I couldn't have run another kilometre at that pace

[GoogleMe Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Yep!

(Got my leggings on. Christmassy ones)

[GoogleMe Graduate10 in reply to GoogleMe]

Oh and the satsumas have just been sliced up and turned into a quick marmalade 😆

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GoogleMe]

Delicious 😃 what a good idea, rather than leaving the ones you don't eat to go mouldy

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GoogleMe]

How lovely to have Christmassy leggings, maybe I'll get some for next year 😁

[Gwenllian1 Graduate10]

Love the satsuma idea! Great to hear that you got out. I will do the same on Monday!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Gwenllian1]

Good luck Monday 😃

[CyberPrincess]

”Leggings are like satsumas!” Love that! Got mine on this morning and I’m hoping to do a little jog with the dog this morning in the mist!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to CyberPrincess]

I'd be happy if the mist went away, it's murky out there yet again today

[RunKRun]

Wow! Great news Sue! Impressive. I love your leggings/satsuma analogy. It will stay with me and I’ll remember it when I need a little motivation. Setting yourself up nicely to start 2025 on a positive note. Love the photo. Xx

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to RunKRun]

Thank you very much, your encouragement has helped xx

[TheDFG67]

Glad you did that, I'm sort of coming back into it myself after a short layoff. It's amazing what a change even a short run can make for your determination. Wishing you a very Happy New Year.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to TheDFG67]

Thank you, illness stopped me in my tracks last summer and it's a slow return but getting there

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Woo hoo!!! Great news Sue 🥳

And I love the satsuma/leggings theory!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks IP, I was puffing like a train but not in any discomfort. Not sure where the satsuma/leggings theory came from but one day I had peeled a satsuma and eaten it without even thinking.....and realised it was the same with leggings 🤣

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

🤣🤣 that is so true!

[Cakerunner]

Well done! You got out there, that's what counts😊 what you said about leggings, I agree 100%.......I was standing looking out if the kitchen window yesterday, still wearing my jammies......nope, not inspiring me at all.......went back upstairs, put running gear on, and hey presto, I'm out and running instead of procrastinating about running! 🤣 Happy running everyone!🏃‍♀️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Cakerunner]

Awesome 😎 I'm so glad it's not just me

[drl212 Graduate10]

Well done! And…a good plan. Do what you can…

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to drl212]

Didn't run today but went for a nice walk in the sand dunes with daughter and dog ☺️

[drl212 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

That sounds absolutely lovely!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to drl212]

It was thanks 😄

[RiceAndPeas]

Yay, well done. I love the "leggings are like satsumas" saying too. 😃

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to RiceAndPeas]

Thank you, I do too 😊
