It sure does! I have been following your ITB issues and hope that resolves itself quickly!

A relatively rare, sunny autumnal day and reduced mileage for the week as nursing a niggle (an equally rare showing of common sense for me when it comes to running, I am informed) - rested yesterday and only 4 miles today. Hoping normal activity will resume shortly #running #runchat

Iโ€™ll bet you are you of those people who fly past with a stroller (Iโ€™d call it a buggy) in #parkrun - well done!

Iโ€™m really sorry and I hear you! We have all been there and you will be back running again - hopefully sooner than you think!

How lovely! How long do you think it will be before your leg injury is healed?

I felt lucky to see it! Right place, right timeโ€ฆ

Damp conditions (again) reduced #parkrun attendance w/907 runners/walkers at the 7 NE Wales events versus 901 for 6 events for the same week in โ€˜24. 135 volunteers gave their time. The sun appeared halfway through but after the rain had already created slip-n-slide conditions on our course #running

Tempo run so 4 miles with time targets for each mile & surprised myself - need to do that more often! #running #runsky

A combo of running (4 miles) and cycling (again, 4 miles) to pick up/ drop off works van at garage. I pretend itโ€™s to help out but really Iโ€™m just having fun! #running #cycling #runningviews

Eight miles today. I really like longer runs with a distance goal rather than a time focus - tend to let my mind wander and be pleasantly surprised when I โ€˜come toโ€™ and realise where I am. Joined by family members half way โ€˜round #running #runningviews

It is a bit nerve racking - just because of the possibility of a serious incident on my watch! Grateful for a strong team if it did ariseโ€ฆ..& glad you had some rainbows, too! ๐ŸŒˆ

After setting up and volunteering at #parkrun in the rain, the skies cleared afterwards for my 4 mile easy run #running

The 7 NE Wales parkruns hosted 878 runners/walkers - 219 fewer than last week and just 27 more than this week last year for 6 parkruns - likely to due weather and local races on today. Volunteers numbered 155. My time as RD passed without incident (sigh of relief) #running #parkrun

The colours of last nightโ€™s sunset gave way to a cloudy, cold and windy day today- needed gloves for a 4.5 mile easy run this afternoon #running #sunset

Stormy skies on this eveningโ€™s 4 mile tempo run and it was practically dark when I finished - it felt good to push the pace #running #runsky
