It’s been an awful year at times, I’m a runner not a fighter and there were times I just wanted to run away.... from work that I’m not always good enough....from psoriasis that has given me so much pain and distress. We haven’t run for 8 days due to Willows dodgy knee and the latest round of blisters on my feet.
Lousy nights sleep and supervision first thing this morning
Today our first run in long sleeves which we took off after 1 k our first run in the rain, our first 5k run under 50 minutes at 49.41 that’s almost 3 minutes off our first 5k and although as slow as 🐌 we are not our to win any races. Then a rumble and our first run in thunder
Interesting splashes of yellow paint dotted about the park after closer looking they are sprayed over dog poo maybe to remind people to pick up
Thank you everyone for the encouragement and sympathy

Congratulations on running a sub 50 minutes 5K at 49.41. I wonder if they have a parkrun in that park.
Thunder, I suppose with all the rain ☔ we have had recently, thunder had to be heard. Keep on running, not long now until you will be able to run a 5K in under 45 minutes. 😊 🏃🏾
Thank you Al we are chuffed because haven’t been running 5k for long in fact it’s obly our second full 5 k we were both tired and have been fair weather runners up to now
They don’t do park run in our park it’s got a nice track that’s just under half a kilometer and grass at the end to stretch the distance a bit, we toyed with going along the seafront today but there are trees all round the park so it’s sheltered
Congratulations on getting out and completing under 50min. For many that is a distant target they may never reach. Remember this feeling when you are next feeling down. I did my run along the beautiful canal past all the locks with a boat going through thinking of you both.
Thank you so much, I wasn’t sure we would run today but just wanted to, there was a bit of walking involved but we are happy to have covered the distance
Glad both of you got out for a run. Hope your blisters and willows knee behave themselves and let you continue.
It really annoys me the people who do not clean up after their dog . If they don't want to pick up the mess they shouldn't have a dog in the first place .😊😊
Huge well done to both of you.. you are doing wonderfully... thunder is wonderful too for getting us moving faster too! And you have the choice of a sea side run too...I sneaked one in before driving home today..but it was sunny!
Wow that’s impressive we started at 63 and have run a full 5k twice with a little bit of walking in the middle, I’m keener than Willow now he might have reached his distance
The runs just evolve.... and as long as you let them and go with them... the enjoyment is still there... Willow is the name of our small runner in training !
Hi, I was wondering where you two had go to. Well done on not letting work and health issues stop you from getting back out there. Agree on age so the aim of the game is try to enjoy whilst keeping fit. Something you seem to be doing well - keep it going.
I think you are both wonderful. I love reading your posts and see how well you are doing. It must be lovely to have someone to run with who just 'gets you' and understands where you are at that day. Take care and I'm glad your poor feet are beginning to heal again. Xxx
Thank you Luhan so much, Willow is amazing and is happy to run with me or walk fast for a bit, he runs faster but i can run for longer and we love running together I’m working a lot of lates this week so will catch up running once my leave starts Saturday
Willow hobbled a bit my feet are holding up thanks, if the new insoles don’t work for him i will drag him along to the orthotics guy that solved my knee problems, thanks for asking
Thank you, I had knee pain for 30 yrs and a happy side effect of having insoles made was the knee pain disappeared completely Willow thinks it’s old age but i know better smug thing i am lol
