You are teasing us - you do not exist, I think?

Brilliant Old Git - You're a natural! I'll look forward to seeing you at the GMR 10K in 27 days and 23 hours ish. I'll be the one dressed as a Cucumber! :)

Great video OG! I'm still working on talking and running - you make it look easy.

If you looked at my pace for the run, you can see it was all over the place. It dropped down considerably when I was talking! Not easy at all ! :-)

Nice to meet you Old Git :)

You can't imagine how I envy that bridge... it looks so flat!!!

old_gitGraduate in reply to Pigivi

Believe me! It's only flat in the middle! I edited out the bit where I tried to talk at the beginning!

Great video, looks lovely and cool running conditions too. Hope your prep for your 10km race is going well. It's very exciting entering your first race

Hi Vixchile, Yep it was cool today, ideal weather. Did a parkrun yesterday and it was cold, wet and windy. You never know what it is going to be like here!

Thanks HenPen, Went out this morning really intending to do a slow one, but my pace was all over the place. Still enjoyed it though. :-)

Oh great video OG, love it! Mo Farrah eat your heart out. Running and chatting and videoing all at the same time. Such effortless multitasking- we'll have to make you an honorary woman ;)

Well done m'dear, a very worthy addition to the growing number of forum vblogs :)

Thanks AM, I'm not a natural at multi tasking as Mrs OG will tell you.

Hope that ankle is getting better!

OG that was very impressive!

And how lovely to meet you :-)

Good luck with the rest of your training. I too am training up to 10k and am about to upload my tale.

Will keep an eye out for your progress.

Take care :-) xx

Old git. Should be not as old as old git. You were doing fantastic across the bridge. Last time I crossed that it was windy as hell. Good to meet you at last. Your right we do need more vid blogs I love doing them. Good luck for your 10k and keep us informed. By the way did you have to run back the other way afterwards :) J

old_git profile image
old_gitGraduate in reply to Jase44

Hi Jase, Thank you, I think more video blogs is a great idea!

Unfortunately the pedestrian area on the other side is currently closed so its just back and forward on the same side. Hopefully that will be fixed for the 10K. :-) OG

Hey Old Git - I feel like I know you now! Managing to speak so well whilst keeping up a speedy pace - v impressive indeed. And you make it look so easy!

old_gitGraduate in reply to Krupskaya

See, I'm not really a penguin. :-) :-)

I could only do it on the flat part, suppose I could have done the downhill and it would have looked even easier!

What a fab video! Clearly you're not an old git and you're certainly not waddling! You could get a job as a Sky reporter on the run.

Very impressive OG.

I can't talk and run. I tried today after yesterday's "Nattering" thread. Just can't do it.

Not easy!

I enjoyed that OG. You look like you're zooming along!

Yey! Hi there! Nice to put a face and a voice to a name I see regularly on the forum. I had a think about a pic for the forum today, but I'm still scared I'll trip over if I start fiddling with my phone. I'm impressed not only are you running 10K, but you can talk whilst you're running too! I might manage that one day - for the moment, I'm just happy to have learned how to breath and run at the same time :-)

old_gitGraduate in reply to mfamilias

Hi Mfamilias, it helps that it was flat, struggled as I was running to the top!

Nice to meet you Old Git, you're fair pelting along that bridge! Shattered my illusion of you being penguin-esk though :) you're anything but :)
