My 4th running life !! (Comments Welcome)

Good luck with your shoulder procedure. And it's really, really hard when your head just decides "nuh-uh", especially mid-race. Hope your revised plan works out.
 
Hi all

Last week got 4 runs done totalling 14 miles.

Really just enjoying being out there prior to a short hiatus following my shoulder surgery.

That was done yesterday and went well. I have 6 stitches in there which will be removed in 10 days so no running until then however dog walking duties will keep me active and I can supplement that by additional walk on treadmill if I feel the need.

Last week I decided to stop using run walk for anything under 4 miles as I feel I no longer need it it has just became a habit and to be honest it felt fine.

I will keep it for now for longer runs.

My recovery at the moment is sitting in the sunshine , with Tilly listening to 80s/90s rock 🤘 🎸

Wishing you a speedy recovery! Tilly is gorgeous 😍

Thanks 🙏 She is, a typical spaniel, unlimited energy, really loving and sometimes not the smartest 😂
What kind of spaniel you have there? She looks similar to mine, but they do have a lot of pups that have the same looks. I have a Brittany Spaniel named Bella. Like yours, full of energy even after our runs! Hope you recovery goes well!

Thanks 🙏. She is a Sprocker (Springer/Cocker Spaniel cross) she was a rescue dog we will have had her almost a year now.
 
Hi all

Hope everyone has had a great week.

All quiet on the running side as I wait for my shoulder to heal. It has went well so far with minimal discomfort at this point and only 4 days until sutures removed.

In other positive news have lost just under 3kg in last week so heading in right direction again and a total of 10 Kgs down this year.

I also did a bit of organising of my running closet and I have 8 shorts, 2 tights, 19 shirts, 6 jackets hoodies and 2 pairs of shoes.

Too many tops maybe 🤔 time to thin out
the herd.

Speaking of which, when I ran my first ever Marathon and indeed my first ever race the 2004 WDW Marathon the race shirts were cotton long sleeves. The cuff off the shirt wore through and had holes in it. I was going to get it made into a T Shirt but never did and if I recall it became discoloured over time so I reluctantly got rid of it. I have all my other Disney race shirt so I miss not having that.

But …….. found a new with tags one on E-Bay in the US and ordered it yesterday…… I am so happy 😀 weird right but I really am 🤷‍♂️

Have a great week all
