Well, morning everyone, runners, and IC gang, that was fun, woken up at 5am by the cat 😼 she must have known i couldnt over sleep with the big event today 🀣

Anyway, out the door 9.20, time for warm up walk, 9.30, of we go, bit windy down here πŸ’¨ or maybe it was Jericho, flying past me at the start line! 🀣 it was pretty quiet, a few other runners about, fast gazzelles too, although i felt like a proper runner, out at this time, on a sunday, which is early for me 😴 first time i've done the route, going past my mum's old care home again, and had a bit of a moment going past πŸ˜₯ anyway, back through another village, a few more walkers out now, then onto the canal for the a few km's, before finishing on an old c25k stretch of road. All in all, happy with the run, was on my own, but did quite alot of chatting πŸ˜₯ and the pace felt comfortable all the way, thinking i'll stick with 10k for now, so have probably posted on wrong group 🀣

Hope everyone elses runs went well, including the HM's too. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Great report, Peter. Sounds like a great run too. I also get woken by my cat EVERY morning. Usually at about 4 a.m. Fun, isn’t it?!

Well done Peter πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» hahaha I certainly wasn't that quick today 🀣🀣

I wasnt sure on where to post either, didn't know if there was an "official"post to keep all times together πŸ€”

Think there might be something out later, to add times, hope your leg's ok.

A great run there Peter! You had a little but of a mental battle there for a bit and got through it. Well done! Sounds like you enjoyed it, and a nice comfy pace for you. The time for my last 10k was almost identical to yours, but I'm not doing my run until next weekend.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday

Thank you Diane, my new strava friend, yep, had a moment there, but was expecting it πŸ˜₯ actualy went over 10k, as was getting notifications from nrc, which doesnt always sinc with strava πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ we obviously both run at a nice comfy pace! πŸ˜€

Obviously it’s all the cat’s fault πŸ˜‚ but well done to you for doing the miles. Bet the cat was asleep all the time you were running .... πŸˆβ€β¬›

Well done, Peter! How kind of your cat to wake you up in time to get organised 😊

A good run for you, in spite of the β€˜moment’. Great pace, too. You’ve every reason to be proud of yourself today πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Thanks Julia, my other new strava friend, now i'll be able to see you pounding up those hills around High wycombe πŸ₯΅ actualy felt strange starting at same time as others, even though they all probably left me behind! 🀣Hope everything still on schedule for the move. ☺

Relaxing as usual

Aaw, Sweet cat!

Yes, no doubt my pace will slow down considerably 😬

I don’t know about on schedule, I have a feeling I’ll just be chucking everything left into boxes the night before I move! Doing my best to keep organised, though.

Peter4410 Miles in reply to Jools2020

I'm guessing your last run there, will be a strange one, hope it all goes ok. 🀞

Well done on your 10k Peter πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ™‚πŸ… I am another who is regularly woken by the cat in the early hours of the morning. 😑Clearly they are out to sabotage our running...! πŸ€”πŸ±πŸ€£

Fantastic!!! Clever cat! I can imagine the emotions were running very high again, it's the little triggers isn't it. Well done for running and chatting your way through it and turning it into such a positive achievement 😊

Well done Peter that is fantastic sounded a fabulous run.

Lol what a clever cat to wake you early for the big event.

That’s a brilliant time you must be chuffed.

So sorry you had a moment running past your mum’s old care home, it must be so difficult πŸ˜“for you.

Bling on its way to you soon πŸ₯‡πŸ…β­οΈβ­οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

Thanks Rebecca, felt good starting of, knowing others, all over the country, were doing just the same, maybe that's why i ran a little bit faster! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Hi from the IC Peter πŸ‘‹ I seem to have had a couple of weeks with no notifications from HU and been so busy I didn't notice 😬 glad you're fit and able to stretch your legs again, and feeling strong enough to run past your mum's care home. The early morning run sounds like it suited you.... well done on a great 10k πŸ‘

Peter44 profile image
Peter4410 Miles in reply to Littleoyellow

Hi Littleyellow, sorry to hear your still on the IC, i was wondering where you'd been πŸ€” hope it wont be too much longer for you now 🀞So far my niggly hip pain is behaving itself, my enforced break has certainly helped, and wont be pushing things too much for now! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Me too πŸ˜πŸ‘ it's proving to be a bit of a slow process, and I think fitness is going to be properly dented, but I'll get there 😁 πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨

Peter4410 Miles in reply to Littleoyellow

There's a few fellow runners on here, starting c25k again, to build up fitness again. πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Littleoyellow10 Miles in reply to Peter44

Sorry for late response Peter, family issues are taking up most of my time atm.... I reckon redoing C25K may be the way to go for me too...... but it will be worth it...... I did 4.5k walking today and can't wait to get running again πŸ•ΆπŸŒžπŸ˜πŸ‘

I'll be keeping everything crossed for you 🀞🀞🀞 hope it wont be too long, i know how frustrating it must be, and will be looking out for your posts, and fully understand the family thing, never dull in our house! 🀣

Thank you for keeping things crossed for me 😁🀞I'm getting there πŸ‘all the strengthening exercises have got to be helpful in the long term 😁🀞 I'm sorry to say that one of my siblings is really poorly, in a not going to get better sort of way, and I'm trying to support my recently bereaved mother, so I'm not able to keep up with my VRB's as well as usual 😬 hence I keep disappearing, but I'm still plodding on and hopefully will get back to running with you all again πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨ meanwhile keep up the good work and don't overdo it, so that you can keep enjoying the running πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ 😁
