Hiya and welcome to a new week.
Sometimes we don't feel like putting a whole post up but just want to share something small, so this is a great place for doing that during the week.
If youre a lurker it is a great place to say a little hi without the pressure of a full post.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy week,

Good morning, did Week 5, run 2 last night in the cold and wet so really gutted to wake up to the most beautiful clear day and not be able to go out and do a run aagggghhhh! Damn these rest days 
You can go a walk! Enjoy that weather 🌞
My dog has healed and over the last few days we've repeated W6R2 and a 25 min run together, so much more enjoyable. Couple more 25s and I'll move on to week 8 
This week I will conquer w7! I have finally had my gait analysis done and got myself some new trainers. The plan is that they'll guilt trip me into carrying on when my brain tells me it's too hard 😂
I got DD her new trainers on Saturday, as promised. Did she come out for a run with me on Saturday evening? No, too tired and achy. Did she come for a run tonight? No, too lazy! There better hadn’t be any excuses on Wednesday...! 😂
Hi Guys, been a little quiet on here lately. Nothing new was happening with the running, just consistent and enjoying. Then I was struck with another death in the family of a very close family member. 7 months after my dad. I returned to the UK for the funeral. It was very cold yet I took my running shoes. In two weeks I managed two 30 minute fast walks and one run only of 20 mins, it was sooooooo cold. Remember I live in Thailand normally ! Anyway since I came home it feels like all my strength has gone. Managed 10 mins run, then for 3 days my legs were like lead. Then a 20 minute one and today maybe I will try another. Kind of lost my mojo. I really don't want to lose the fitness I achieved through running. Maybe I just need to rest a while or just stick to 10 mins until I feel stronger? It doesn't feel like giving up, just complete exhaustion and I guess for sure a lot of grief. This seems to have hit my physical strength hard. 😢 Any tips ?
Grief plays havoc on your body, go easy on yourself, you have been through an awful lot. Just keep going out and doing what you want, the little runs with help with the mental side of grief a little, a bit of you time for reflection. When I lost one of my best friends I would often find myself running and realise I had tears pouring down my face sometimes but it was therapeutic. Do what your body needs and wants, keep the run side feeling positive and it will All come right when you are ready.
Thank you I appreciate your response ! Yes the same happened to me this morning. Grief just hit me whilst out walking and listening to some music and I ended up in floods of tears. It’s a lot of sadness which comes out through music. Guess it’s when the mind is relaxed that these things surface. X
