W3R1 - wind rush

[Jogunlikely]

Set off on my merry way this evening, fully charged from my 4pm banana 😋. 5 min warm up walk then set off up the mountain (sorry hill) on my 90 second run at which point im nearly flattened by a hoard of nordic walkers. Im not sure of the collective noun for said walkers but the one i chose this evening is not printable!

I have no issues with walkers of any ilk but I do mind when I'm forced onto the grass because they wish to walk 4 abreast on the pavement 😠😠😠 plus I was under the impression that those coming down hill should give way to those going up? Manners please!! Ok I have vented now so will draw a line under the incident and move on. But god help them if we meet again.... vengeance is mine.... no get a grip; channel my inner Elsa and let it go...🎶

Onwards to the park which was like the Serengeti, gazelles everywhere! 🦌🦓🦒🦏🐘 thankfully no lions 🦁 I got overtaken, a lot, and that's ok, speed isn't everything but by gum these gazelles were going some. I'm not joking when I say there was a wind rush as they passed. Just like being in a tube station 🤣🤣

The rest of my jaunt was quiet with a much longer warm down as Laura kindly gave us a shorter session today 👍 but still had to get home 😊

Happy running folks xxx

Ps apologies if you're still singing Let it go in your head 🙈

Good running. It’s an amble of walkers I think... but not sure if there’s a specific term for the Nordic variety... or the nordic variety either 😂. I say just run at the gap between the middle two and break into a sprint... they’ll move!

🤣🤣🤣 I'll give that a go!

Some people are so ignorant of others , the other day I was out running and someone drove straight out of a driveway and nearly knocked me over I had the right away as the path runs straight through it . But what can you do but carry on 😊

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thats awful. Glad you lived to tell the tale x

[Katnap Graduate]

What is it with Norwegians coming over here and telling us how to walk? 😁😁😁

I tell you what though. I bet true Norwegian walkers would give way to people going up a hill!

😸 Katnap 😸

Lovely post. Yes, those gazelles make it look so easy as they breeze past, don't they. Makes me smile... I look more like a warthog having a minor coronary... but at least I'm still moving.

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Haha, love the image of a warthog having a coronary 👏👏 I'm sure it's not that bad x 🐗

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

I'm not the most graceful of runners... but I really don't care.

Good job you chilled at the end, otherwise it would have been so frustrating. Keep on running jogunlikely😀😀

[Runners Graduate]

Oh those gazelles 😳 and none of them are bright pink either 😐

[Myzinnyboy Graduate]

Ha jogunlikely that made me laugh.i saw a gazelle today whilst I was in the car, bright pink outfit pony tail jauntily swinging from side to side! Effortless ! I’m probably 40 years older than the gazelle and 2 stone heavier, but I’m out there ( early in the morning but I’m out there). It’s week 2 run 3 for me on Friday, good luck to us both!

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Myzinnyboy]

Brilliant 🤣
