The Mantra returns . . .

[ButtercupKid]

Inspired by Tartancat 😀 The tune is “Whistle a Happy Tune” from “The King and I”, and the photo is the AlMorr Loop midsummer. Enjoy !

Whenever I feel afraid

I hold my head erect

And heed all that Sanjeev says

Because he will direct

Me to 5k.

I shiver out of my boots,

I strap my trainers on,

And heed all that Sanjeev says,

And soon I will have gone

To 5k 😄

Without my glasses I thought you said you whistled whlie you ran. Thought how the hell do you manage to do that 😂😂

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SpanishShuffle]

That’s not whistling, that’s my lungs collapsing 😂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Lovely to be back. I’ve really missed the magnificent company here x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Lovely to have you back here with us.. we missed you a lot... and yes, we are totally awesome aren't we?

Absolutely 💕😄

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Well done BCK, great prose and a lovely photo of my AlMorr Loop, indeed you will soon be able to run a 5K again. 😊 🏃 🎓

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Again would be good - I’ve never got past 3k yet. Some of us are built like dachshunds here 😂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

... and have also, the fierce determination and strength of the bravest Newfoundland

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Now that would make for a seriously interesting mixed breed 😂

[cheekychipmunks Graduate]

[Nannyto2 Graduate]

Well done for getting back on track & great song choice!

I've been put of running for 3 weeks since a hamstring injury, missing running so much! Never again shall i moan about my legs feeling tired after this awful pain in my leg. Hope to get back to it by the end of the week as we're going to stay at Hayling Island so looking forward to a pomenade run 👍

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Nannyto2]

Ooh, nasty ! Hope you’re back on track soon. Slow and steady now !

[Nannyto2 Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

I'm just walking 5k at the moment to keep my fitness up but desperate to run!

We'll both get there with such great support 👍

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Nannyto2]

Great that you’re still on the move ! Keep us posted x

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

As ever, a great post BcK! Love the song- will try and sing it as I start week 9 tomorrow!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Good on you ! Looking forward to that graduation post very soon x

[Dalmorangie Graduate]

😂😂🤣🤣 let’s hear it for The Sanj 👏👏👏👏👏....hope he’s having an early night as he’s out with me at 0530 tomorrow!!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Dalmorangie]

He’s tough, he can take it. Shame about the rest of us 😂

[Dalmorangie Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

🤣🤣🤣 to be fair he was on parade as required and I can never understand why he’s never out of breath as I wheeze, cough and burp through the final few minutes!!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Dalmorangie]

I know - out running all day with loads of different people and never even seems to break a sweat. Makes you sick ! 😂😂

[Tartancat Graduate]

Fabulous! No need to be afraid - 5k will come when it comes, in the meantime just enjoy!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Tartancat]

Thanks TC x
