Back in Blighty

[SailingGirl]

Well finally back in Uk (for a few weeks anyway). So far I have been lucky with the weather and the sun is still shinning here. So.......been out twice since we hot back Friday. Tough - as I had forgotten how hilly it was here on the edge of the downs. Oh well should do my stamina some good but not seeing too much improvement in my times when hitting 5k. Must persevere! BTW don’t see ‘Graduate’ next to my user name. Is there something else I should have done apart from leaving a comment on Graduate page ?

Welcome back! Hills should be good for improving stamina I guess. I have avoided any so far for the short amount of time I have been running. The weather is great for running at the moment, hope it lasts for a while.

Re the graduation badge, there's a pinned post on the rhs "October Graduation Badges 2018" which you should comment on to get your badge. Congratulations as well!

Hope to increase stamina and get faster. Quickest time yesterday for 5k but not mega fast. But each 1k now under 9 mins. Hope to improve!

Welcome home... wrap up well it’s bloody cold! Your next warm weather training will, I guess, bring you back to better weather here, or maybe the real cold, either way you’ll benefit in regards to pace! Keep on running and having fun.

Three runs done since coming back - all in sunshine. Looks as if things are chilling down though this weekend. ☹️

Welcome back SG and enjoy your hills. You might as well embrace them - they’ll make flat running feel like a piece of cake!

Your badge is showing up now! Looks mighty fine! Well done. 👏👏👏🏅🏅🏅
