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! πŸ˜€ #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 πŸ‘ 😊

Awww thanks! How's your training going? πŸ˜€

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?

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

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. 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

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.

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.

Woooohoooooo! Yay! Well done Red! Good for you girl. πŸ’ͺπŸ˜ƒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’¦πŸŒ«πŸŒ§β˜”οΈ

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 πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ˜ƒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ 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 πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

A shorter jaunt will do for my first toddle

I hope you’re suitably rested now RC! πŸ˜ƒ

I baked bread yesters and am having poached eggs on several doorsteps upon my return 🍞🍳πŸ₯—β˜•οΈβ˜•οΈβ˜•οΈβ˜•οΈβ˜•οΈπŸ΄πŸ˜‹
