I know it's been a while since my last blog, and I know I promised to blog after each run. But time just kind of runs away from me! Weird that, you think as you get older time would be a thing you think you have tons of. "Oh I will do that later," or "tomorrow is another day" Well this last month has been a tough month, not just for me, but my other friends too.
My long standing friend, my running buddy, my work buddy, my nagee, passed away. It seemed like only just a short illness, bloody cancer! It don't care who you are, rich or poor, fit and healthy or down on your luck, it can get you! It knocks the bloody stuffing out of everyone that is connected to that person. Tracy, 'Get Your Legs Up' Tracy, passed away, we had her funeral last Tuesday, would you believe on a running night! Well, Tracy you can now 'Rest your legs' Tracy, I have no doubt we will meet again.
So for the past few weeks my running hasn't quite been up to par, but we did start our beginners course, the first of the year! It was pissing down with rain but we still had a good number of 'Athletes in the making'. I know I speak for the other leaders, ZippingSherry, RefMichael and Hannah (yet to be assigned a nick name) that we totally love leading this course, watching as they all surprise themselves and run their first 5k. There are quite a few now who have gone on to join PWR, completed 10k's, half marathons and full marathons! It swells your heart! Next Saturday will be week 3, blimey that really has gone quick!
Group run last night was good, we tackled just a couple of hills, with a little bit of hill training in the middle of the run! Mean!? What me? Never! It will do us all a bit of good. Mind you, this morning I am feeling it!
So just a quick blog, just to let you know where I am in my 'Trying to keep fit' stage. And just a little tribute to my mate 'Get Your Legs Up Tracy' You will be missed, your smile at the back just kept going, unless of course you were throwing daggers at my back when I nagged too much 😊
