Evening folks :-) hope this finds you all well

Just wondering how everyone is doing and coping with lockdown .

Trying to start back running after a leg niggle thats floored me for about 6 weeks. Fingers crossed the longer evenings will help although I still prefer a 6.00am run now.

Having moved 100 miles across country, my new local running club has walking sessions, starting today. Did one - 5km in 1 hour which is a gentle start. Great countryside as well. Encouraging.

Hi folks, how’s things? Lockdown is going well here with us working from home- this is saving us both 50 minutes commute each way so with the extra hour & 40 mins saved each day I am able to do more running! I have had some injuries and niggles along the way and right now feel like I need a hip replacement! I did just do my highest mileage month though! Be back to work soon though I expect and normal running levels will return! I hope you are all keeping well, staying safe & plodding as much as makes you happy.

I'm still on my running hiatus ... just before Lockdown #01 I was told that I might have a problem with my heart and that I 'could drop dead at any moment!' (... quite the squeaky bum moment). A year on ... and I'm still waiting for investigation and I still have to not exert myself ... just in case ...

Wow Dec that must have been scary. Hope you can be seen for investigations soon. Hi night owl - best of luck getting going - some nice weather would help but the forecast for the next few days is not great is it?! After a couple of lovely days it’s gone wintery here! I have a virtual 10k to do anytime this month which will be fun, I already have the medal but I have to earn it!
