First run in ages! Finally!

[Redcello41]

And I'm back! Did run-walk run-walk for my first run back this morning, was hardwork being as I haven't run properly for a while, but am so glad I can finally get back to what I love doing! I've got a lot of work to do to rebuild my fitness, but bring on the challenge! If I've done it before, I can do it again! 😀 #musicianwhoruns

You will do it again, no doubt about it!

You are very passionate and I can't see you not doing well at anything.

Enjoy 👍 😊

Awww thanks! How's your training going? 😀

[Hidden in reply to Redcello41]

I'm cycling more than I'm running because I still have a dodgy knee. I'm also doing a lot of resistance training and it's going well... There is a long way to go though.

Are you cycling in between running days?

[AlMorr Half Marathon]

Good walk /run for you today, glad that you enjoyed your outing this morning,

I am about to go a bike ride after my 5k run yesterday, later you could go for a bike ride on your new bike

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks, was hard work but really enjoyed it! Hahaha year that's the plan for tomorrow, an early morning bike ride before work! Enjoy your bike ride! 😀

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Redcello41]

I go running on a Wednesday and Saturday, I go a bike ride on a Sunday, Monday is walking and other exercise day as is a Thursday and Friday, Tuesday is shopping and the big wash day as well as planking, sit up and push up day exercises, so a lot to keep me occupied 7 days a week. 😊 🏃🏾

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Wow you are busy! My current plan is run Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and cycle, Monday, Wednesday, Friday! Saturday is a rest day. 😀

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Redcello41]

👍 🏃🏾 🚴 🚶 All great exercises.

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Yes so true! 😀

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Redcello41]

I used to cycle four times a week, no running in those days, I must have cycled 40,50 and sometimes a100 kms a week, but now I only go a bike ride on a Sunday, the running and other exercises have sort of made up for me not cycling as much nowadays.

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Update for you RC41, I have just returned from a short 16K cycle 🚴 ride, I was absolutely amazed to see how many cyclists I saw, at least 40, but I only saw 3 runners, most of the cycling was on the canal bank, I live 5 kilometres from that canal, but I only cycle there, not walk or run.

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Wow well done! I've just come back from an early morning bike ride, cycled just under 10K! Was so much fun! 😀

[misswobble Marathon]

Woooohoooooo! Yay! Well done Red! Good for you girl. 💪😃🏃‍♀️💦🌫🌧☔️

I am preparing my own first outing in 15 days. My longest break since shin splint days

It’s tipping it down, but as ever I am optimistic that the rain will abate, the clouds will part and the sun will beam down 😁

Zip a di doo dah. Tra la la. Oh happy day, oh happy day-y 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😃🏃‍♀️ Nothing can rain on my parade today. I was planning on going miles, with my pack full of restoratives, but a weather eye forced a rethink 🤷‍♀️

A shorter jaunt will do for my first toddle

I hope you’re suitably rested now RC! 😃

I baked bread yesters and am having poached eggs on several doorsteps upon my return 🍞🍳🥗☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️🍴😋
