Club Run - Group 2

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!
