W6r3 25mins blew away the cobwebs! 🏃

Again, I will attempt to remember the report I was writing yesterday before I inadvertently deleted it.. Grrr..

Me and Slinky did w6r3 yesterday in the lovely sunshine, actually did just under 6k with the walking to and from home. Anyway, Slinkys knee pain & swelling has now subsided and tells me it feels fine, so off we go, back after over a weeks break, and having had a longer walk to get to our start point felt ready to run and soon settled into it and my niggly achilles tendon discomfort soon faded away, I may need to work on my calves more, as they feel a touch tight.

Slinky kept looking at her watch and I told her not to, as it can make time drag.

But the time seemed to melt away quickly and Slinky told me Laura said we are halfway, I was slightly surprised, moving on down the lane, there are still no horses in the field, seems they are in lockdown as well, but there's a lady looking around the same age as us on crutches and she stopped to move aside to make a tad more room to let us keep going, how lovely! we made careful progress passing her smiling approving face and we smiled back and I gave the thumbs up.

We got to the end of the lane and turned around and Slinky shouted 5 mins to go and I said to her I think I'll make that with a laugh.. We went to pass the lady with crutches again, and I was thinking she will be fed up with us wanting to pass again, doesn't seem good for social distancing I know, but there was just enough room, taking care.

So Slinky again called out 1minute! and I upped the pace, Slinky stayed back as she was watching her knee, but all was fine, and then she called time, I made out I hadn't heard her and carried on for another 5secs as a wind up, she knows I'm profoundly deaf in one ear and gets concerned I haven't heard an instruction, but I always hear when the runs finished.. 😁

As I came down to a walk I thought how lucky we are even with our niggles that we are lucky to be able to run at all and for 25mins as well, where the lady on crutches cannot, and I wondered what her medical condition is, MS?🤔 I didn't like to ask..

Again, how lucky we are!😊
