Hello blog readers
Yesterday (I am a bit late writing up) was club run day. I was aching so much from my fun and games days with family on Saturday. Me and my family ate and drank and played games. Not nice quite board games or cards we played a game or two of rounders, then a couple of games of British Bulldog! These are games I haven't played for simply ages! Using muscles I haven't used before in ages. Well, of course I have used them, leg muscles for running, and arm muscles......helping to look like a runner! But running short distances, from home base to first base, or running across a 'playing field' trying not to get tagged makes me use my muscles in a completely different way! My swinging arm ached so much, my back was hurting like crazy after getting rugby tackled to the ground by the kids or just by falling down a hidden pothole! Well, thats entirely my excuse for a rather slow group 2 run from me!
Of course as I am trying to tell the beginners, there are not bad runs, only fast runs or slow runs! Every run you do is just perfect! I really am trying to be positive about my club run! Ruth was leader for the evening, she took us on a nice gentle route. It was move up week! So thankfully it was gentle.
The route was one that I hadn't done for ages! Up towards Crofton with a turn left to run through the estate. I was behind, just as well as I offered to sweep, best place for me!
I am totally late in finishing off this blog! I do remember it was a great run, and I really enjoyed it. I did have to excuse myself from the main group as I really slowed down due to my back hurting me more than it was at the beginning, and CarolWithAnE ran with me for the rest of the way from Balmont road. We weren't too far behind everyone else!

Progress On The Beginners
Hello blog readers
Our beginners course has just finished the 5th week. Can you believe it! I am so enjoying doing the course again with RefMichael and ZippySherry. I can't believe we are already into week 5 homework! It's going just brilliantly.
We had a handful of our PWR's to help them all through the 6 minutes of running which we did 4 times with a 2 minutes walk between each rep. I was leading this week, I think everyone has come to know about my chatting and not keeping an eye on the time! All I kept on hearing was "Nearly time Old Girl, don't forget". I blame my Garmin, it has this tiny little beep that I just don't hear! And I think I have just got used to the thing vibrating on my wrist that I completely ignore it! Ooops!
I think I managed to keep all four running sections to the time I said, well, maybe just about 15 seconds for the 2nd rep, or was it the third? Of course we don't go straight into the running, there is the brisk walk around the rec for a couple of laps and then the warm up drills! We can't have them going off without being totally ready! We are now at that stage where those important drills and warm up are really necessary. Stretching out the running sections each week. This week it's running for 6 minutes with just 2 minutes of walking. It's just fabulous watching and listening to them all as they complete each rep! Heart warming to say the least!
Anyway, it's just a quick blog! Mainly because I am writing this late, but I still remembered to add a picture in here, take a look, done by our resident SnappyH!
