20k garden trot.

[Tbae]

Finished March with a 35k week and a 20k garden trot.

Tried a 4x5k,3 pit stop strategy.

The 80m-90m figure of eight lap comes with plenty restrictions but allows me to stay home and keep building up.

Never thought I could handle stop/starts but it worked fine.

I decided to fuel every 5k and because I was stopping why not a change of shoes also.So I did that.Four pairs.👍Something else to break the boredom.

What a great excuse to buy new shoes.🙈

Think I have got something to take me to, 25k,30k,35k and the M distance.

Stay safe everyone.

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️⭐️⭐️👏👏💥💥

You also stay safe Tbae, good trot for you around your garden, but despite the restrictions you did very well indeed.

I can't go very far as well, I am glad that 2 weeks ago I walked 6 Kilometres up the West Highland Way, as I could not do that now.

Thanks Alan.

Yes you stay safe and stay home.👍

My garden trotting marathon is looking like an all day job in the garden Alan.Eight hours, but at least in comes with tea breaks.🤔😂👍

Well done! I like the idea of changing shoes.

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to C3PO]

Saw your HM, well done C3.❤️💪.

The shoe thing was great in the garden.🙈😂

Tried to post a pic of shoes twice,site problems.🙈

I wear supported shoes,just happen to go Saucony, Brooks, Hoka and last 5k my OC’s.What a lovely feeling on the tarmac on the 4th x 5k, just felt I was in bare feet.

Need a shoe changing station now for big events.🤔😂😂

Blimey! That’s brilliant Tbae 🏃🙂 Love the creativity there! Well done to you 👍👏

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Aww thanks IP.❤️

Out of this overwhelming disaster for us all,a few small gifts perhaps.

I am off IP round and round my garden,got to count my blessings and be grateful for small mercies.

Stay safe and look after all yours.

Perhaps the real facts and truth will finally out in due course.🙏

🏃‍♀️⭐️👏👏❤️💥💪

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Tbae]

Keep safe yourself Tbae and keep running!

[Granspeed]

Shining example. Well done. 👍⭐️🎉 I love the shoe change. If I implement that plus sock change.... Feed all my addictions at once. 🤣 But I’ll not be challenging those distances, for sure. You’re a champion. 👏🏼

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Granspeed]

Aww thanks Gs., never been called that before but I am going to graciously accept it.

I am feeling so up about this against a horrendous background for us all.

Your socks made me laugh, had a spare thicker pair at the ready,but must be a male thing, did not change them.🙈.Must say the proper socks keep holing at the upper toe right foot even with good clipping.

I am beginning to ramble now.🤔🙈

Stay safe Gs., btw belated congratulations.💥

🏃‍♀️⭐️👏👏❤️💥💪

[JonathanP 10 Miles]

Well done - the 'pit stops' are a nice touch !😀

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to JonathanP]

Pit stops and tyre changes JP.There the F1 comparison ends unfortunately.🤔🙈😂😂

Stay safe JP.

🏃‍♂️⭐️👏❤️💥💪

[JonathanP 10 Miles in reply to Tbae]

I was thinking more of the Le Mans 24 hour Tbae!😋

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to JonathanP]

That’s the one JP.👍.You have given me an idea.I have sufficient lighting.24 X5k=120k.Now that’s something to aim at.🙈💪😂

🏃‍♂️⭐️👏👏💥💪

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

I think your garden must be a bit bigger than mine Tbae!😂😂

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

The Frenchman on his balcony doing his Marathon made me smile Dexy.😂😂

Stay safe.👩‍❤️‍👨

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️⭐️⭐️👏👏💥💥

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Tbae]

Runners are unstoppable Tbae. You and yours stay safe too.

[Hidden]

Wonderfully Bonkers. A case of Orbital eccentricity if the garden represents the universe and you represent an astrial body moving through it?

[Tbae Metric Marathon]

Thank you WR.

I am as daft as a brush,would bring tears to a glass eye, got one brain cell and that’s lonely.🙈😂😂

But I do love to trot and love this forum.

You are very kind and do stay safe.

⭐️👏👏💥💪☄️
