Yes, we have no bananas!

Not sure where I should be posting as I’ve graduated but still on consolidation runs...

Annnnyway, I’ll keep it briefer than normal. No bananas - so just a cuppa before I drove to my run. Bit worried about that. 18°. Just going to listen to a podcast - Stella McCartney and see how it goes. Twice round the ponds. 30 minutes this time - no mistakes! Distance 4.8km in 29.49mins Pace 6.09 km. Glad to stop - hot - 23° - and sweaty. My toe aches😩

I’m actually on holiday so am making the most of it. Start the journey back on Monday so still time for one more run here! 😎

I wouldn't want to go home my kind of place to go on holiday or even better live 😍

I still post on here and I graduated a few weeks ago! You guys are my friends, and I’m reluctant to leave you! I do post on B210K every so often, but I feel like the nervous new girl!! 😅😅

Hey, that’s an impressive run - mighty close to the elusive 5k/30 minutes! Very well done. 👏👏 Beautiful scenery too! ❤️👍

Yes, I’ve posted on there too but I feel like a fraud. I’m not running anywhere near what they’re running (as you can see) I’ll keep on with the consolidation for a few more weeks and hopefully it’ll become a little easier especially when it gets cooler! See you on the bridge! 😂

I was playing on the bridge for months before I decided I wanted to run further than 5k. Most of my fellow graduates had moved over so I wanted to keep in touch but you will know when it’s the right time. Also you will want to help those just starting out with answers to all the same questions you asked when you were on the plan. So play around on both for a while.

Thanks for that valuable advice - now I can ‘cross that bridge when I come to it’ 😊

That is pretty impressive running 59er

In higher temps .. lovely scenery very inspiring 😁

That’s great pace especially in heat, well done.

Now I have a song in my head, thanks for that!

Hope the toe recovers quickly

Thanks for the compliment UnfitNoMore. You can’t be that old to be able to remember that song!

Keeping my fingers crossed re: the toe 😳

Certainly not the Fanny Brice version I’ve just downloaded, but I do remember someone singing it on tv when I was young!

Crossed 🤞

I think I remember my mum singing it - probably because we didn’t have any bananas 😂

Ah... I’ve had a google and no mention of it in the 70’s... maybe it was my Nanna, she was always singing old songs. It’s in the English Patient apparently, but there’s a film I’ll never see 😂

You’re right - it is! Can I ask why?

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply to 59er

It’s too long... I struggle to watch anything longer than an hour if it’s not fast paced.

59erGraduate in reply to UnfitNoMore

I can appreciate that. Sometimes I wonder why these films receive such a lot of awards. Some of them are just snooze fests!

Well done 59er. You can join us on b210k community now if you want but you can post on either, depending which audience your post is relevant to. Are you somewhere exotic at the moment?

59erGraduate

Thanks for that Dexy5! Not exotic- France - still hot - what more can I ask for?

Many congratulations on your graduation fellow runner.

I think you have already looked at the guide to post C25K running, but if not, here is the link anyway. healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Keep running, keep smiling.
