I miss my trotting routine and the positive energy it gives.I am hopeful to be back on C2FM by 1st Sept.Just started generating my third load and I am not 40% through yet.Just got to be patient and focused.You certainly don’t get the same buzz from hand lopping hedges,but it’s got to be done.Its a bit like being on the IC without an injury.
Enjoy your outings everyone.
🏃♀️🏃♂️⭐️⭐️👏👏💪💪🙏🙏
Slow...steady....you know the form!!
As someone who used to be a professional gardener who worked in a team on school sites with loads of hedges, I am just in awe of you Tbae! I watch your bags build up, disappear and build up again. I can't believe your patience and how much you are managing to do - your garden is immaculate and your hedges beautifully straight! Look forward to seeing you get in the miles again though 💪👍
Aww that is just so kind TC.⭐️
Tbh my head can drop.Not blessed with appreciative neighbours.But hey ho get it done and refind my headspace in trotting.
⭐️💪🙏👏👏
Some people just don't appreciate fine work Tbae. 🤗
Some load of rubbish in that photograph Tbae, that darned garden keeps you fit but unfortunately you can't find time to run, by September you should be back for training for that FM🏃🏾😊
Yesterday I ran one of those milestone runs, for the first time I ran 10 miles/16K in a little over 2 hours to graduate and get the words "10 miles" next to my username, for some strange reason when I run one of those milestone runs I get cheered by passers by, when I was running run 3 of week 5 of C25K I got a cheer from a man that was standing at the gate of his house next to Linlithgow Loch, when I ran run 3 of week 9, my graduation run, the now infamous "goin yer'self" cheer at Helensburgh, yesterday at around 10K in the rain there was a mother and her 2 children gave me a big cheer as I passed, on no other runs I have been cheered, it seems a bit strange to say the least that I have had cheers on those 3 milestone runs, anyway, cheering or no cheers it was a good run for me. 😊 🏃🏾
Hello Tbae, I think that yours is the first post that I have read of someone who has stopped running in order to garden. I stopped running for two months to try and bring more of our garden into better order. My online tutoring took lots of hours so gardening didn't't get all my time. I have been gardening before 6am in the morning. I love it! But I so don't want to lose the stamina that running gave me. I am in hilly Derbyshire and have now re-started C25k. I chose week 4 as my starting point and ran W6R3 this morning (25 minutes) when I did this first time around, I kept near to the river, so flat. This time I was in the hills about 50m elevation gain. The steep bits are hard.
All the best with your marathon hedge. Have you worked out when you will be able to resume your trotting?
🦔A hedgehog appeared when I typed hedge in the emoji search! 🌸😊
😂Just feel like a little hedgehog O61AST.😱
I have repeated C25k 4 times in the last two years,( all 27 runs each time). I found on each occasion made me stronger and quicker.3 were gardening stops and 1 was Achilles injury.So my fifth will be bespoke all the way to a first in a lifetime marathon.
Wanted it to be before August,so starting 1st Sept 🤔💪🙏.So it has only taken 77years to ✅ that box.
🏃♀️⭐️👏👏❤️💪🙏.
You will be back Tbae....💪🏃♂️👍
I think I must have accidentally left the forums because I haven't been getting notifications....and had to sign in again!
Doh!🤭😳🌻xxx
Keep going. You'll get there. Keep your eye on the prize 👍
Well done you
I have trouble with one hedge 😂
Oh man, it is indeed the time of year when running V gardening becomes a Cage fight. 😬
Too often when I'm gardening I'm thinking I could be running, and vice versa.
Life is strange. If anyone had come up to me not too many years ago and said "I have seen your future - Gardening and Running will be your passions"
Well, I would probably have started crying at the thoughts of such a bleak and boring life lol. 
Mind you - my garden is more "Triffid" than "Petunias" 😁 My Miscanthus Gigantus is not to be approached without Kevlar gloves, My Yuccas are gloriously stark and gothic, Dutch Iris seductively beckon within their firethorn hedged beds, and this year I think my Deadly Nightshade patch is doing well, among other not-so-traditonal plantings
Out of action for a while ☹️

When is a good run also a bad run?😉
