Week 3 Run 1 (again 🙄)

[TeeBedders]

I’m baaacckk! After a couple of weeks off with knee pain I’m back and am rerunning week 3. It was hard work. But I feel sweaty and energised and stronger! I’ve been working on strengthening in my legs with gentle exercises and will continue this in the hopes it keeps my knee pain at bay. I feel so pleased to be back at it, I worried I’d lose enthusiasm but I haven’t. I was excited to get back out and try again. Eeps on to run 2 😁🏃🏽‍♀️

Yay! Welcome back and well done on getting back into it! It has been so warm today so brilliant that you completed the run after your break. Hopefully the knees will behave. I've always suffered with my left knee since i was at school and I have to say getting gait analysis done and a pair of trainers that suit me has made a huge difference. Might be worth looking into? 🤔😊

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to Lindsey-joy]

Thank you so much for your reply ☺️. I have a new pair of running shoes, not the cheap ones 🙈 I was running in and I do feel a difference. Now I know what the warning signs are, I will make sure I pay attention to my body and not just try and ‘power through’ which left me in agony. Next up... jazzy leggings like you!! 😁🥰

[Lindsey-joy Graduate in reply to TeeBedders]

Very wise. Better to take your time and get to the end rather than power through and have to give up. Make sure you show us a pic of the leggings!!

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to Lindsey-joy]

😁👍🏻

[backintime Graduate]

Fingers crossed your knees behave.

Well done for not giving up !

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to backintime]

Thank you so much backintime! I’ll keep an eye on it but 🤞🏻☺️

Good on ya Tee!! Good to hear that your back at it and your still so positive 😁. Even tho you haven't been running the past couple of weeks you've still been here cheering us all on and offering words of encouragement👌. Keep up the good work and go easy on that knee.✌

[TeeBedders Graduate]

Thank you very much gman! This space is full of positive people isn’t it 👍🏻 We will keep at it 💪🏻🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Welcome back. Great comeback run. Strengthening work really helped my dodgy old knees, so now you got that going on it will get better. Your mindset sounds spot on... enjoy the next run.

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you 😊 great to hear strengthening worked for you too, gives me the confidence that I’m on to a good thing 👍🏻

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to TeeBedders]

I had painful knees for 30 years... now I’m 9 months painfree... except for the night I decided to ram my knee into the corner of the bed, but that didn’t last long 🤣

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

🤣what did you do that for eh?! Good tip. Watch out for beds! 🤣🙈

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to TeeBedders]

I swear somebody moved it 🤣

[Richlfb Graduate in reply to TeeBedders]

I kind of am and I kind of aren’t I’m enjoying the program so much I don’t want it to stop 🤪🤘🤪🤘

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to Richlfb]

You never know, you may fancy going on bridge to 10k 😱👍🏻

[Richlfb Graduate in reply to TeeBedders]

I gotta make 5K first, not sure I will by graduation but we shall see 🤪🤘🤪🤘

[Bluepup1 Graduate in reply to Richlfb]

You’ll graduate 🤗 x

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Welcome back TeeBedders! It’s a bit odd going back a few weeks isn’t it - I went back to week 3 and struggled with it more than the first time round! Enjoy the rest of week3!

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Yes! I felt exhausted going back this time around! It’ll get easier?! 😆 thank you for replying 😊

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate]

Welcome back TeeBedders! Really glad to hear that your knee is much better, sounds like those exercises are doing their job!

Great comeback run, I reckon any run after this will feel even better because of how humid it is today!

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

Ah the humidity! 😫 thank you so much FG , hoping tonight’s run is just as productive! Hope you’re well?

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate in reply to TeeBedders]

Have you had the rain yet? Hoping that will help! I'm doing well thanks, ticking along... 😊

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

Yes it’s piddling it down here! I like to run in the rain so I don’t mind if it continues and keeps the humidity at bay. 😁 glad you’re doing ok, absolutely smashing it on here i see!💪🏻

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate in reply to TeeBedders]

I'm with you, I like running in the rain! I never used to understand why people did it, thought they must be really dedicated to go out in that weather. Now I get it 💡

[Bluepup1 Graduate]

Sorry to hear about your knee - hope it stays pain free for you 🤗 x

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to Bluepup1]

Thank you bluepup 😊

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

Welcome home! Tell those naughty knees to behave themselves! 😁

[TeeBedders Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

Lol i will! They had better be on their best behaviour or I’m going to get really cross! 😉

[MuddledGardener Graduate in reply to TeeBedders]

Hahaha! 😂
