Took me half an hour just to get out of bed this morning. Wet and stormy outside and I thought I’d give it a miss today. Then I took a quick look on here and saw that Bodg was just back drenched and triumphant after running 6:3. So I took the Black Dog out after all and would you believe it, we managed 9:1 ?!!
Photo shows the newly christened Setters Way, which has obligingly remained ice free over the past few weeks. Happy running, anyone else braving the weather today 😀
Great job BCK! I knew that dog would have to relent and just run 30 minutes with you!!!
I think he spent half the time wandering off into the trees 😄
😂
🎉👍🏃🏼♀️💨👏🏼 Love the photo. Much more sheltered looking than my across-the-fields route, which had a nasty wet headwind today. Well done.
It’s a really useful little path ! I got blown to bits coming and going but the path itself was fine 😄
Great scenery to motivate you! Who knows, hopefully one day Black dog will wander off and not come back - well done you
As long as he stays out from under my feet while I’m running, that’ll do for just now 😄
Yay! Well done on getting out. X
Thanks Phoenix. Feeling done in now, but so glad to have done it 😀
Congratulations ButtercupKid on running your first 30 minute run of week 9🏃, you and the Black Dog did well today although you say he wandered off into the trees at times, nice photo of part of your route, Setters Way looks a nice sheltered part of it, onwards and upwards to 9:2.👍🏃in a few days time.
Thanks AlMorr. A photo of the AlMorr Loop will appear in due course, but at the moment it’s still frozen from end to end x
No hurry BCK, once again a very big congratulations for completing 9:1.👍🏃
It’s been a while coming 😄
Well done on such a wet and windy day.
Thanks Letty. Feeling lucky to have a nice sheltered path to do most of it on !
Well done for getting out on a stormy day. Enjoy feeling tired but accomplished: I think that’s an important hurdle you’ve got over today x 🌼
Must confess I had a weepy moment when Sanjeev said I had done it. Not that I could hear a word he was saying in that wind, but the tone of voice was enough 😄
Well done! Looks like a lovely path as well 
It’s a fabulous park - we’re really lucky here.
I live in a nice area but there is a bit of a lack of places for a good run. The canal is great but gets very puddley at this time of year.
Canal would be nice and level ! Most of the park is still under ice just now but this path has stayed clear. We also have a disused railway line which has been turned into a walking route, so we’re well spoilt 😄
How lovely!
It is - great place to live !
Great for getting out running today . Beautiful photo
Thanks Buddy. Couldn’t have done it without Bodg today 😄
I ran along the Camel trail as usual and managed to avoid two downpours. However, the wind was against me both ways. How is this possible? To whom do I complain!
Maybe the weather felt that as you’d missed out on the rain, it was only fair to give you all the wind ? It was a kindness really. Bet it didn’t feel like one though 😂
I got soaked on the subsequent dog walk on Polzeath beach! You can run but you can’t hide ....
Now that’s seriously picked on ! Not fair ! 😄
Looks like a lovely place to run..lucky you! It was hard to get out of the door today so high five to you and the dog!
Thanks CCM ! We’re very grateful to live here 😀
What a lovely place to run Buttercupkid. Well done for getting the black dog out of bed and out there.
Thanks Razouski. Inspired by Bodg - couldn’t leave one person to drown alone 😄
What a beautiful place to run! I'm glad you got out and conquered the first run of week 9 and in the rain! Whoohoo! 1 step closer to graduation 👏
Thanks SAcat. Beginning to believe it might be possible 😄
It is totally possible! We know you can do it; you just have to believe in yourself. You’re one tough cookie who can’t be stopped.
Never thought of cookies as being particularly resilient, but who knows ? 😁
Of course it is possible, you have run for 30 minutes once so you can do it again. #keeponrunning. 👏👏
Only two runs to go!!!
What a beautiful trail! I bet those trees kept the dog distracted. Well done BCK 🙂
Thanks ktsok. Yep, lost the Dog in the trees a few times today 😄
Excellent. That’s the way forward then! Throw the dog a bone or two and keep it busy 🙂
Sounds like a plan 😂
HUGE well done you and what a great location... that'll show that Black Dog what you're made of xxxxxxx
Thanks Oldfloss. Glad to have found somewhere ice free 😄
I know..it has been dire..we have had torrential rain here again today too!
Nothing more fun than drowning at one end and skating at the other 🤪
You are right..but we just keep on...running...smiling and leaving those pesky brutes reeling in our wake :)xx
It’s the only way 😂
Great to see that you’ve completed W9R1 and what a lovely spot to do it in! Just got back from my W2R3 n managed to miss out on the rain but not the wind. Excited for W3 now!
Go you ! You’re really making progress 🏅
And so are you! 😁😁
That’s what we’re here for 😂
Very true! 😂
Week 9 Run1 done! Setters path looks very inviting....great work Buttercupkid that Blackdog is starting to heel 🐶 😊xxx
Thanks BBR x
Great BCK, well done, huge achievement! We all knew you could do it, and what a wonderful spiritual location. Two more to go, and you're there!
Thanks JT. Must admit I wasn’t thinking of the spirituality of the location, just glad and grateful to find somewhere I could run rather than skate 😄
Yayyy well done for completing w9r1, the podium is getting closer 🏃♀️🏃♀️
Sometimes I think it’s a mirage lol 😂
Whoop whoop 9.1 ❤️🏃🏼♀️💐. You are 2 runs away BCK. Just 2 runs!!!! And with that wind too. Just amazing 😉.
Yay! I’m really pleased for you. The podium is in sight! Think of the runs you did before as practice or training runs, so that your graduation run will be all the more awesome! Black Dogs don’t much like awesomeness. Anyone who can get to W9R1 is awesome. There are so many who have tried and failed, but you are doing it.
Go you, and all the best for the remaining runs!
Thanks Neil. Taking it gently, but feeling more hopeful. Hope it’s going well for you x
Week 4 - yay still going.
Still going
Still Going Strong(ish)
Wk8 R2 - Still going
Im still around
