[kwala, I was being picked up at the end of the run and had I not carried a full change including socks and shoes, I'd have been going carefully around the fun bits too ;-) ]

As I did parkrun yesterday I've loaded a 5k for March. My time will hopefully improve as the year goes on as it was a new PW. ;-)

I went for a walk down by the river earlier, I was ready for a bit of mud but didn't end up getting too far as the river was so high. :)

L10 thanks, quieter sounds like just what you needed at all the šŸ’© before

Deco love it I too love the mud!

Alpen jeez that is high, spring has been a tad wet so far.

Sorry if I missed anyone it was on a new page and Iā€™m a goldfish! I did 10k today and a km in the pool stacked it right at the end over a cobble skinned my knees wreaked my leggings! My favourite ones too šŸ˜”šŸ˜¶

Oh no Nut, sorry you didn't have a soft landing like me. :(

I opened my April account this afternoon with a 5 miler. Even managed it before the rain started but I can feel it in my hips now. Hopefully, I can keep it going this time as it's such hard work getting through the first couple of weeks each time. ;-)

Oh no Nutso :-( Hope you're knees aren't too bruised. Boo for the leggings too :-(

Well done Alpen, I hope you can keep going too. Are there stretches/exercises you can do for your hips? I think I'm finally starting to enjoy my plodding again, making a conscious decision to R/W has worked wonders with my head :-)

I'm sure there are kwala, but I won't do anything about it until the middle of the month when I can start back on my yoga again.

Tumbles are never good :-( Hope you heal quickly and bruise lightly.

Hopefully we're all doing better than poor old Bugs, who mistakenly thought Elmer was being nice ... and, afterall, he could run the sins of the chocolate off ... ;-)
