This tree made me stop in my tracks last Wednesday and go back to take this pic. Stunning colour on a lovely day.

I couldn't run that day and knew deep down I was unlikely to run anytime soon...but so long as nature can provide such a beautiful display I have hopes, no, I know that nature and time will somehow get me back to rights... 💪🏻👍🏻😘

Is it of the Acer family.🤔

What a beauty and it stopped you in your tracks, just as you have stopped us in our tracks with your outstanding achievements and trail pics.

This beauty is reassuring you that you will get back.Its going to drop its beauty now and rest assured it will return for you next season.

Every good wish with what you have to do for your repair, recovery and reset.

💥🏃‍♀️⭐️👏👏❤️

I think it's an Acer but not completely sure, not my tree.

I'm hoping I'll be back before next season but one thing is for sure, time stands still for no one and time heals most things 🤞🏻😁👍🏻

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Wow what a beauty! I wish I had a few pics of the nearby Maples before the leaves fell. You will be back and better than ever Jo - know that!

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to Decker]

Oh yes, I've no doubt 👍🏻 (can't or I'd go proper loopy 🤪)

It's one of the few nice memories I have of Canada, the autumn colour, no one does technicolor quite like nature 😁

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

I've tried to reproduce those colours in paint, but can't even come close

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to Decker]

Wish I could paint, very unartistic 🤣🤪

[Oldfloss Administrator in reply to Decker]

I have a painting I did.. I agree.. so hard to replicate Mother Nature's colour palette

I think I posted it on a Strava report?

[Sqkr Half Marathon]

Oh lovely! What an incredible colour 😍

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to Sqkr]

It was really something, I stood there just staring like a toddler... look ma.... TREE! 🤣🤪

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Beautiful!!!!!

All the very best to you, JoJo xxx

[misswobble Marathon]

Gorgeous 😘.

I stopped to admire a shapely holly yesterday which was covered in berries Harbinger of a hard winter, some say 🥶

[Sadie-runs Half Marathon]

Wow. Absolutely stunning! I have really been appreciating the autumn colours this year. We have a beautiful sycamore outside our living room window, and it has been a joy watching it go from gold to yellow this year. I am always so sad when all the leaves disappear for winter, but then I remember the joy of watching it bud again in the spring.

You will heal in time, and in the meantime keep working on getting stronger. Just as spring never fails to arrive, you will get back to your beloved running again. ❤️ Speedy healing, Jo.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Stunning 😘

[Bluebirdrunner]

So beautiful Jo, thank you for sharing this lovely tree.

Hope your recovery goes well, and its not too long before you are reaching for those running shoes again.😚xxx

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thank you Jan. 😘 how is your injury? I've just been doing a lot of reading this morning, painscience.com a guy called Paul Ingraham. Seems to talk sense, and he has a lot to say about tendonitis. May or may not be worth a look x

[Bluebirdrunner in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

I will take a look at that Jo, thank you. It's a bit up and down..sometimes it feels a little better, but the ache is still there. Still stiff too. My patience is wearing thin....xxx

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Read that guy's stuff, he talks a lot about the mental effects too. If you've not already, do take a look at Caroline Jordan and her hurt foot programme on youTube. So many workouts you can do that won't impact your injury but will absolutely make you sweat and feel better for doing "something" 😘😘

[Bluebirdrunner in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thanks Jo, and yes, I did some CJ work and stretches for hurt foot yesterday. I did feel better afterwards. I will keep them up. xx

[Run46 Half Marathon]

Stunning...nature and fresh air will lift your spirits while you patiently wait for recovery 🤞🍁🍂🍃

[over61andstilltrying 10 Miles]

Wow! Thank you for showing us and I you find the route that best suits you in order to leave the ic.
