This is my first post here, so I wanted to say a proper hello, ‘Hello 😁’ I’ve met quite a few of you over on the bridge and have been following all of your adventures and amazing feats over here for a while but as I come to the end of my first year of running, 2 x 10k in the bag, I think I’m ready to join in the mad world of the long distance runner.
I’ve had a lovely time over on the bridge and have learnt a great deal about patience, pace, and all manner of things that can effect performance. I’ve been having a grand time lately, running alongside my VRB’s, entering vitality London 10k, LEJOGing, Jeffing, learning to slow it all down, shopping 🛍!!! but most importantly finding out what I want from running and what I’m prepared to give to the hungry soul of running ( quite a lot as it turns out!).
In the year 2000 I set myself a goal to run a HM and promptly had a skiing accident. Bang went my right wrist and hip and my goal floated off in a general haze of concussion. But here I am, only 20 years later, 🤣, picking up where I left off ( well not quite, not in my early forties anymore am I? 🤔).
Now I need to learn how to go the distance, both in terms of keeping on running long term and to run further without doing myself a mischief.
I started the HM plan on Garmin with Jeff Galloway twice and abandoned it twice before the end of week 2, so I’m really pleased to see a new HM group starting soon.
I’m excited and delighted to be here 🤸♀️....but my knees....they are terrified 😱

Picture: Running my second 10k on Saturday, mostly on the beach, and oh so stiff ankles for the next 4 days! Oops 😬
