Recovery Run

[LoungeLizaard]

Life got in the way last night, so was out tonight before “something” needed my time!

Had a bit of a tech issue which resulted in not recording the first half of the run.... The second recorded half said 9 mins - 1.3km @ 6.52/km....... a huge difference to the 8.10 I ran on Monday (to make sure I could get to 5km)

First Parkrun on Saturday, so interested if I can a) get around and b) what time I’ll put up!

The gauntlet is down - next report on Saturday afternoon!

Good luck with the parkrun, we don’t have them here but will be very interested to hear how you get on as I might have a chance to do one next month.

[LoungeLizaard Graduate in reply to telford_mike]

Have spoken to a few people who say they are brilliant - i have a 19yr old too and if he does it with me....... I tend to be faster when running with him.

Darn tech! Sounds promising anyway. Park run sounds fab! You are very brave doing park run. Sounds really exciting. Have you checked out the course? Is it hilly?

[LoungeLizaard Graduate in reply to _SimonT_]

It’s quite flat I believe! Hoping it will be anyway!

Not even been to watch one before, so not sure what to expect really lol. Oh well, we’ll see!

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to _SimonT_]

You don’t have to be brave to do Parkrun _SimonT. It’s very supportive and there is no pressure to go fast or run the whole distance. I recommend everyone tries it at least once . I did it as my first post grad run and loved it

[_SimonT_ Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

I am definitely going to do one at some point. It’s the 9am start that worries me! 😂

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to _SimonT_]

Yes that’s what worried me on the first one so I ended up waking up at 6.00! 🤣

[LoungeLizaard Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

Good luck with the Parkrun - you’ll do brilliantly! 😊 x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Well done you.... just enjoy your run on Saturday

[LoungeLizaard Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thx Floss - how are you doing now? Any sign of a return?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to LoungeLizaard]

Getting there... thank you for asking I am keeping fit. MRI scan is a week on Tuesday...so I will know more then... hopefully

[mountaindreamer Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Good luck for a week on Tuesday, Oldfloss . We’ll all have everything crossed that the MRI brings whatever the best news possible is. Glad to hear you are still keeping fit. ❤️

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to mountaindreamer]

Thanks x

[LoungeLizaard Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Good luck ❤️💕

[Saartjie Graduate]

If your son doesn't go with you...I'll be virtually running right there alongside you! See you Saturday 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👍 What time is yours? Mine starts at 9.

[LoungeLizaard Graduate in reply to Saartjie]

Oh yeah - I forgot about our date! (Sorry!)

As far as I know - all Parkruns start at 9

I’ve never run first thing in the morning either! So that’ll be another first!

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to LoungeLizaard]

Shocking behaviour! Yes there is still a possibility I won't make it out of bed in time...

[mountaindreamer Graduate in reply to Saartjie]

Do you want me to send you both an alarm call pigeon! I’ll be up before 7, so I can have some porridge and digest it before the run. 😂😂❤️

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to mountaindreamer]

Might be a good idea!

[mountaindreamer Graduate in reply to Saartjie]

Will get pigeons to catapult you both a bowl of porridge over at 7 then! That should get you up in time! 😂😂❤️

[mountaindreamer Graduate]

Well done getting out again last night, LoungeLizaard . And good luck with your first Parkrun. You’ll love it. The volunteers and other runners are all really friendly and supportive. Just remember to print off and take your barcode with you to get an official time. 😊❤️👍

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to mountaindreamer]

Our Parkrun is not on tomorrow so I am going to our 2nd nearest one (still flat) so that will mean getting up earlier too.

[Dexy5 Graduate]

Enjoy your first Parkrun loungelizaard. There should be a brief for first time runners so listen out . And don’t forget your barcode

[LoungeLizaard Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

I have the wrist band and wallet card - I'm all prepped! (all the gear and no idea!!) lol

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to LoungeLizaard]

Do let us know how it goes

[mountaindreamer Graduate in reply to LoungeLizaard]

Wow ...we’ve not got round to ordering those yet. I’ve a tatty bit of paper with it on folded up in my phone case! 😂

[LoungeLizaard Graduate in reply to mountaindreamer]

Not expensive either really and it goes towards helping the organisation.
