Any Runners On Here??

I did 3.5 miles (never transitioned to metric) this morning. Nothing to write home about speed wise but job done.

Worsley Woods parkrun was my very first 5k. A great parkrun that can get very muddy at time. Got my time there down to 21m 52s.

That's a good time round there, the course record went this morning, 14:47 mins.

4 weeks ago I did an organised trail half marathon. Part of the event description was that all participants would receive a finishers medal however, due to a problem with the the organisers didn’t have them available on the day and said they would be posted out later.

Now don’t get me wrong, it’s just a naff medal and I couldn’t care less about it, but there is a principle involved and, on that basis, it’s really annoying me now. 😂

I once did a race in the future... The medals date was printed out as a year in advance!!

Mate of mine did a trail race got back a bit later than me, asked for a medium t shirt and they said sorry mate only XL left...should have run faster..... I laughed for the rest of the day!

Got my gear out ready to run tomorrow morning. Bought a long sleeved thermal top from Lidl today and will try that out. Fingers crossed that Hebe Jr keeps her covid to herself…

I ran down to parkrun (3.5k) and then ran the course. Chatted with Lirrus a lady who’s over from South Africa and staying temporarily in Poole before moving to Guildford. She said her last parkrun had been on the beach in glorious sunshine ☀️
I was really tired and yawned my way round what is quite a lumpy course ( Upton House)
Whenever I’m having a bad one and plodding, I focus on my running form and building mental resolve and toughness.

Did an 10k round the moor with the dog.
She ran almost all the way which was good!
Not a mega workout but just the recovery run I needed.

Muddy underfoot and drizzle.
My new terrax shoes are good on light trails!
Only a few dog walkers out.

I didn’t get a run today. Got a quick walk in this afternoon and will try again tomorrow. Looks like Mr Hebe has covid too now, or an unrelated cold.

Aldi kit is really good. I've had a lot for running. Hopefully you'll be toasty.

Went for a couple of miles yesterday but needed ski's not trainers!!

Went down the cycle path, saw one cyclist only and he was really struggling to keep the bike upright.

I'm definitely not running outside in this. I needed my spikey overshoes just for walking the dog on the pavements yesterday.
A balmy -5 at the moment. Lovely.

Minus 8 here but it was actually ok underfoot. Could have had a little jog but I had too much clothes on as I went out dressed for walking.

I just need to do something, have been "lazy wintering" of late going away for short breaks spending far too much time in restaurants and pubs!! Have put on half a stone in the last two weeks alone!

Today may have to be my worst nightmare....the exercise bike out in the garage.

Luckily it’s only been going down to -2/-4ish here and any snow has buggered off quickly so I've been able to keep doing evening runs with arm warmers.

Switching to morning runs tomorrow though.

I've not done any running for several days as I don't want to risk slipping / falling and doing any long term damage. I can always pick it up again when the weather gets milder. With age comes wisdom ( eventually ), so I'll be starting at a much lower level and building back up. I've made the mistake so many times, of returning to training and being too ambitious which ofter resulted in injury.
Heard from daughter in Edinburgh that she's contemplating London next year, I was almost tempted to join her but logic and reality prevailed.
