For old times’ sake

[ButtercupKid]

Finished off the return to week 1 with a trek up the Bodg Incline to Tartancat Bridge. No idea where my leg muscles have gone over the summer, but very pleased to have completed the week in 7 days rather than the 63 it took first time around 😄

[Bodg Graduate]

Lovely to hear you are visiting your old haunts.

Have you tried encouraging the mini Buttercup Kids to join you?

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Bodg]

Not so mini - they’re both considerably taller than I am 😂 They’re both autistic and in residential placements now, not at home, so sadly we’ve never had the chance to go out running together. On the brighter side, that’s saved me an awful lot of humiliation 😉

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Part of the answer is in that last bit I think... 7 instead of 63, that’s pretty awesome when you think about it! Nice job.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thanks ! Every time I started thinking of how much worse it felt than 6 months ago, I reminded myself of how impossible it felt a year ago 😄 I’ve done it before, I will do it again. Teeth well gritted and trainers at the ready 😂

[SeeJillRun Graduate]

Nice one!! You’ll have graduated again before you know it! 😃

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Thanks SJR. Aiming to beat the 6 months it took last time, and break the 3k barrier 😂

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

I’m sure you’ll get there. I’m only managing about 2.4k in 30 minutes 😂😂

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

But you’re managing it ! Bet that wasn’t always true 😂

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Very true! I’m on Week 7 of Ju-Ju’s magic plan n did 2.76 miles in 55 minutes last weekend 😃

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

That’s brilliant ! So proud of you 🏅 !

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Aw thank you! ☺️

Those leg muscles will be re-awakened now. Well done and onwards into next week 👍

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to NewRunner4]

Thanks ! I know they’re awake now - I can hear them complaining 😂

🎵Wow, you are building up (building up),

Buttercup kid,

You won't let Sanjeev down, you are running around,

Getting through these runs, like a true c25ker,

And we're cheering you, as you go on your way,

You can run, you can run, more than you ever knew,

More than you could at the start,

Keep on running, Buttercup, with a happy heart !❤🎵

Sorry, I just had too😁😊 I love your mantras😊xxx
