I think I’m back

[Granspeed]

After far too long, I think the past week has finally seen the last of the dreaded Injury Couch for this round. 😊

Three different runs and no return of aches and pains. Hurray for that! Even moved back towards top tortoise speed today, “encouraged” by deluge of icy rain and the recurrent devil east wind. Forgot all about injury potential in the urge to approach Hot Shower Point as soon as possible. 🐢💨 👏🏼

So hello again everybody and happy weekend. 🎉

[Couchpotato2 Graduate]

Yeah! Welcome back and you know what you need to do; don’t try and impress the horses with your speed, take it easy bye IC

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

The horses are currently being entertained by my family visitors - daughter & two grandsons, in from California & NZ. They are all runners and lots faster than I am, so ponies won’t even notice my return! 👍💕

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

Ha, how depressing 😂

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

This morning they were (sensibly) off under the trees instead of watching at the fence anyway. They didn’t like the icy rain either. 🤣

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

Like my cows in Tring park run, all sat and sheltering from the sun looking at us with concern...

[SaskAlliecat Graduate]

Whoohoo 👏👏👏! Welcome back! Be kind to yourself, take it slow and easy and enjoy each run!

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Oh yes. So glad to be back that all fingers and toes keep crossing. Defo prevents running too fast. 😄

[backintime Graduate]

Great, fingers crossed for no more aches and pains

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to backintime]

Oh thank you! All extra luck appreciated. 👍

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Great to see you back and great to know all seems well !

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Whoop whoop 🎉🎈🍾🏃‍♀️ great news. Coming back from the IC is always tricky but you’re clearly doing it right 🙂

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Hope so. I had one relapse so hope I’ve learned the necessary lessons. 😊 🐢🏃🏼‍♀️

Happy weekend!

Glad you're feeling stronger. That wind is a bugger... I'm trying to motivate to get out there in spite of a cold wind and grey, grim sky. Such a change from the sunshine!

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Oh yes. Grim is the word. Just on the train to London for 4 family-days; hoping a bit of sun shows!

Hope you get your run. 😊 At least it’s a warming activity. 👍🏃🏼‍♀️💨

[Wimborne]

Welcome Home 😀. Such great news you have healed to run again. Take care GS and happy running. 😀

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Wimborne]

Thank you. 💕 Having a long weekend of London sightseeing with visiting family - that should toughen me up! 😄

[Pianism Graduate]

So sorry for the late reply... have been rather overtaken by this week's excitement. So glad to hear you are off the IC and back out there running. Long may it last! I know what you mean about the rain though... I think it's better here than most places but I'd have liked a bit more sun for my jollies....

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Oh yes. We have family visiting from various foreign lands & they are getting every rainy preconception reinforced. 💦☹️☔️💦

Forecast says things will gradually improve. Hope it’s not too late for you to have a bit of seaside run in the sun!

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

Actually I burnt my head running on Sunday and Wednesday, both of which were sunny here. So I'm glad of some soothing rain.

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to Pianism]

You need a peaked cap Pianism- you know it makes sense. I bought UpTheStanley two washable ones for his birthday so I can throw his old one out . Hoorah 😂

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

You know that’s his favourite! 🤣

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

It may be , but even he admits that it might walk away on its own soon.

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Wednesday was good. Yesterday ... ☹️💦☔️💦

[Dowat Graduate]

Fabulous news that you’re back on the run malarkey. Have fun, enjoy and here’s to keeping injury free.
