I'm glad to see your avatars pop up and to hear how you're all doing, although for manyI'd love it if I could wave a magic wand. The one thing that stays constant with this thread is that people care x

GimmeMedals Sep 2022 9:42pm, 6 Sep 2022 23,110 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals Hi 👋 nice to see this thread pop up again. Lives have been busy and stressful by the sound of it so I’m sending hugs to all that need them (((( )))) I’ve struggled to get any pace to my running this year then had Covid which took about a month to fully recover from, particularly the breathlessness. I’m now at peace with my very slow pace 😁

Although we may not be happy with pace, etc. and it is tough to get back in to things (like moving one’s feet 👣) we can do it - let’s remove the pressure of what we could do and celebrate what we can do 🥰

GimmeMedals Sep 2022 7:50am, 8 Sep 2022 23,120 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals Wise words WP. I want to enjoy going for a run, like I used to, and can only do that if I stop comparing now with then and accept my pace as it is.
angelrose Dec 2022 1:11pm, 11 Dec 2022 57,813 posts	Quote Pin angelrose Hi gang, just caught up with the last few posts. waves I note that Gimme last posted on the day I became an OAP and our lovely Queen died. The world keeps on turning and I'm still plodding along - I seem to be getting slower, not faster, but I am still doing it.
lin50 Dec 2022 1:49pm, 11 Dec 2022 3,812 posts	Quote Pin lin50 What a great thread. I’m resigned to not being able to run as fast as I used to (even though it’s frustrating sometimes). Just happy to be able to keep plodding.
