Hi, Oldfloss! Working on improving.... Ran .8 miles this week--better than last week. The weather in Michigan this morning is "crisp"--I started out with a light jacket/windbreaker which was nearly too warm at the end. It's cloudy, which is wonderful for me as my old eyes don't "take" to bright sunlight, as explained this past week by my eye doctor and also my internist who recommended a hat and "good sunglasses." I played Rodrigo and Gabriela--very rousing, even for the warm-up walk! I love them! Things are good this morning, which is good, as we have a LOT to do/accomplish today!
Itβs amazing what a difference music makes to a run Lisa. Iβve just had one of my most enjoyable runs to Automatic for the People by REM. Havenβt listened to it in ages but I just got lost in it. Did my post run stretches to it as well. Wasnβt looking forward to running in the cold (probably not as cold as Michigan I suspect) but it even got me up the hill Iβve been avoiding since I started doing this (which wasnβt so bad after all), so Iβm dead chuffed now.

Good luck, and of course I will be interested in your progress and cheering you on too!

Hi Oldfloss , nothing major to report, continuing with extra leg strengthening/wall sits, looking to get to 3 minutes by end of this week, it's hard lol
Another 14K 9 miles planned for Friday long run , swapped out intervals for hill repeats on mid week run or a few weeks . Still on for 10 miles by October ππ
Finding my groove again this week, been against it for the last couple of weeks, not really feeling it. Had a lovely run yesterday with a nice big hill in it, so working on that this week, with a few new routes to be done. Things are looking up!
Well I have had a completely different kind of running. I have been in Montpelier all week so have been running on the beach. My husband has been working here and so I have dressed in my running gear each morning. Walked to the conference centre with him 3k and then started the run. The weather has been perfect and then repeated the run to meet him later. Xx
I am so pleased with this new stamina - I feel truly blessed that I am healthy enough to run. Whenever I feel I canβt really be bothered I think of all the people who would give anything to put on the gear and use those legs. Xx
Hi Oldfloss, still struggling with my dicky knee but doing the exercises and managing at least one run a week, albeit it a short one - yesterday was a lovely 3.5 along the sea front in Morecambe and I was rewarded with a sunrise π , and an absolute blast of endorphins!
Still hanging on with my repeats of week 1, now jogging 15 seconds of each run so definite progress is being made. Ethel is not keeping this woman back any more !
