Embracing my inner.... 🙇🏼‍♀️

Easier said than done to be patient in this running malarkey that has stolen my heart. Off to do another week 4 run 😩 feel like a failure but know it’s the right thing to do for my ankle and foot. Happy running lovely peeps. 🏃🏻‍♀️💕🏃🏻‍♀️💕🏃🏻‍♀️

You are the furthest thing from failure lovely lady. Don't you ever forget that 👍🏻😉😘

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thank you my lovely 😊

[RunningMigster Graduate]

A failure? How is that possible when you're getting off the couch? If you are well enough to get out there, and you get out there, then you're a success!

Go for it. And good luck, you're doing great.

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to RunningMigster]

You’re a star, thank you!

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Definitely not a failure after everything you've achieved. You are back out and running . Enjoy and good luck 😊😊

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks matey 😃

[Run46 Graduate]

Now that's so far from the truth it's ridiculous!

You wouldn't have been a failure if after your injury you'd decided to choose something less high impact and you're certainly not a failure for deciding to do what you needed to do to build up your strength and get back out there to run another day.

That's sheer determination in my book!

And for that you need applauding 👏🏃‍♀️👍

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Run46]

Thank you. Strong walked just under 7k and included 16 mins running....and a wee 😳😜

[Run46 Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Fab, you're getting there...except the wee, having to stop for a wee annoys me a bit! Could totally see myself just letting it go if I was in a race 😂

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Run46]

There’s a song in there somewhere..... ❄️😂❄️

[Run46 Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Hey Vintage- of course you’re not a failure! Apart from anything you know that’s illegal here! But you are an inspiration - whatever wallops you, you’re always cheerful and pragmatic. You keep plugging away and just don’t give up. So you hang in there and know we’re all trotting along with you! Good luck and fingers crossed for continued healing!

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Ta matey, so kind 😘

[Jazzyrunner Graduate]

You’re so far from a failure, it’s crazy! You’re protecting your foot and ankle, developing patience (such a very hard one, I knoooooowwwww!!!) and showing your guts and determination. This girl most certainly can 💪🏻👏🏻🏃🏼‍♀️

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Thank you 😊 it’s flippin hard not to take it too fast ...

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Gawd, isn’t it just! I’m trying soooo hard to stay slow to protect my foot/ankle, but today I just saw I was nearly at 5km in my 40 minutes, and I just had to... 🙄 Not really fast I know, but fast for me!

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

I can only dream..... well done you, that’s a very respectable time 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Thank you! Fingers crossed it won’t come back to bite me in a few hours 😬

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

😬🤞

[Speedy60 Graduate]

You haven't failed until you stop trying - doesn't sound like you 😘

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Thx Speedy, I love it so that really helps 😊

[Rogie55 Graduate]

Vintage, you are my sole sister here. You are on a journey, there are always hills and valleys. I think this time of year is hard for a lot of people. You are still in the race my lovely one. Xxx big hug. Keep putting one foot in front of another.

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Rogie55]

Thank you my lovely! It went well today so it’s all good. Doing a core strengthening class each week and losing weight... all hopefully going to towards an improved Vintage!! 😊😜 looks like you are doing brilliantly x
