Running alternative

So I can’t run at the moment because of the bulging disc, but I can still walk. So today, that’s what I did. A lovely meander to and through the wonderful Slitt Wood. Lots of lovely autumn colour, hazel nuts foraged, waterfalls and 10.4k walked.

I’m determined to stay fit until I can run again.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my previous post - you have provided me with the strength to keep my running goal alive. It’ll be a long journey but I’ll definitely get there.

Enjoy your running, I’m with you in spirit, just running a hell of a lot slower 😉

Sorry to hear about your injury WW. Running, of course, can bring you elation, endorphins and all that jazz but walking is so good for the soul isn’t it? 🧡 Especially at this time of year.

How long are you likely to be resting? Be patient and kind to yourself.

If it’s anything like the first go round then nearly 2 years! Hopefully find out more when I interrogate the consultant.

Oh gosh I’m so sorry to hear that. Best of luck with your consultant, let us know how you get on. Keep walking and taking fab pics.

The thing is although this forum is full of ‘vital stats’ , for me I don’t often remember everyone’s pace or distance or whatever but I do enjoy and remember the content of their posts .

How they felt, what they saw , like your sheep and those very fine stane dykes. I am watching Kate Humbles series about life on her small farm and they were rebuilding a section of a stane dyke , it was fascinating and reminded me of your post .

So keep in touch with the forum and keep posting those fine photos that you take on your hikes 🙂👌
