So glad I didn't listen ....

After my first ever park run victory on Saturday, I have been achy and stiff. On Sunday I did some gentle stretching and foam roller exercises. Planned a 5k with my friend this morning. Boy did I feel stiff this morning. Spent more time before with foam roller on the achy bits and I have to say I am so glad I didn't listen to myself at 7am when I said "I'll just text her and cancel"!!!! Run complete and I felt great the whole way round, just done more stretches and rolling. I feel very satisfied with myself.......gremlin suitably kicked into touch!!

You're rocking it! Give your gremlin a name - mine is called Gary, and I'm getting to know him well now.

Thanks mfamilias, meet Gordon!! He's a bit bruised this morning, from a kick in the neck! 😂😂

[mfamilias Graduate in reply to Doone]

Gordon is the name of the guy in my class who asked me around to his house to show me his train set. I went around out of pure curiosity, and spent all afternoon being introduced to his favourite engines. 😐

I hope that wasn't at high school !

We were 17 at the time... :/

Well done!

Those rollers certainly wake you up don't they?....eeek

[Doone Graduate in reply to Millsie-J]

Oh yes they do!! I could feel my heart rate rise just doing that!!! It makes all the difference though.

Well done - sounds like it's going really well!

[davelinks Graduate]

Well done! It can be so easy just not to go, but having gone there's a great sense of achievement afterwards..Better just to put up with a few minor aches & stiffness after, so best to keep on the move with no sitting down...😊

Well done. You showed 'em.
