Was up bright and early this morning, no hint of the predicted storm, at least on this side of the country anyways. Nope - it's blues skies and sunshine all the way. This left me with no excuses for not going out for a run. It's pretty cold out there, frosty underfoot, but I got down to Jarrow in time to meet up with my clubmates Alan & Graeme for a slowish bimble.
We decided on the shorter Sunday route, as both Alan and I haven't been on form but even with the slow pace I was really knackered, just unbelievable how much fitness I must have lost.
We headed off from York Avenue up to Mill Lane and over into Hebburn, we met up with Helen en-route, she's injured too - hence the post title...we are indeed a bunch of crocks lol!
Managed to convince the others to cut off a bit of the route so we finished a tad earlier - I could tell Alan was gutted as he was having the run of his life , but seriously, managed to get round with minimal pain from my ankle, and it wasn't wet or blowing a hooligan....result!
Happy running folks!
hey gw - sounds like it was well worth the effort. love the pic of allan. he looks like a smart collie brimming with character and energy!
ReplyDeleteHehe that's not Alan - that's my collie Murphy :) Though I'm sure Alan would love to be able to run as fast as he can :D
