Oww my legs!

Hi everyone, I’m so pleased today is a non-running day for me today. 😊 My legs are aching from riding the motorbike up to Leicestershire and back - 5 hours on Monday then 3.5 hours back. Clearly riding takes different muscles! 😳 You’re not just sitting there either, you use all your whole body to steer and control the bike 🏍 🙂 Still, it’s worth it and I wouldn’t change it for anything 👍

I’ve been out for a walk this morning to loosen things up, and I’ll go out again later to help the recovery process 😇

The plan is to do my second Parkrun in Croydon tomorrow as the conclusion of Post Grad week 3 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Then I’ll aim to move on to Bridge to 10k next week if all goes well enough.

Have a good day today if you’re out running. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Take care, it looks as if it’s going to be a very hot day again! 🤯🌞😎

Thanks Saartjie, if I can beat my last time of 34:02 at tomorrow’s Parkrun I’ll be a happy bunny 🐰

Apparently some mates are having a bbq 🍖🍗 tomorrow so it would be rude not to go along too 😋 It’s something to look forward to! 😀😊👍

You ache from sitting down for a bit?? What are you, a man or a mouse?? C'mon. Get a grip. We've got B210K beckoning at us from a dimly-lit doorway with promises of unforgettable pleasure. Can't do it alone. Need David there too!!

Oh Stephen, if only it were “sitting down for a bit”! 😂🤣

Don’t worry, normal service will be resumed tomorrow at Parkrun! 🏃‍♂️

I’ll be moving to Big School on Monday if all goes to plan, but I’ll keep visiting here to keep in touch with my many friends. 🙂 I’ll keep holding the door open when I get there too, to make sure as many people as want to can join in the fun! 😀😊
