5 year Runiversary!

No running for 11 days due to being tired - all class back now so rather hectic settling back into routines - and picking up a bit of a cold. Also had COVID jab last weekend and definitely needed a lie in and the couch!

But today I really wanted to run to celebrate my 5th anniversary of completing Couch to 5k.

So glad I did ๐Ÿ˜Š Beautiful spring morning, sun out, dry underfoot, bit of a cooling breeze, birds chattering - just perfect ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ Ran a slow, relaxing 5k along our usual route. Stopped to turn around, record the time, take off my jacket (warm sun), have a quick drink and take a photo. Then set off on the return journey. Thought I better try and speed up a little on the way back so I could record a reasonable time for (not) Park Run!

Thoroughly enjoyable run, just loved it ๐Ÿ˜€ - so glad I started Couch to 5k, and found HU. It is an amazing programme, transforming peopleโ€™s lives and this forum has wonderful people who encourage, inspire and support. Thank you administrators and all those involved. I give you a massive ๐Ÿ‘.

Happy Running to you all.

Trying to attach photo!

Been over a year since we last had anything, maybe changing into scrubs putting on a face mask and washing hands when we get to work has made a difference

I have had less colds due to most children being at home but I was expecting to get one when they all came back!

Yeah, they share them around so generously donโ€™t they? and thereโ€™s been less children at school so the sudden influx brought with them their germs, children are so delightful
