Didn't mean to...or run, smile, sweat, repeat...

After my first successful, if somewhat slow, 7.25 K run on Friday, I decided to head out yesterday morning, for a slow, short run. It did not quite go according to plan. 

( Always happens with me!)

It was a stunning morning, as many of you know and I was out before 7.30 a.m.  I headed out from the top of my hill, and down to the fields, along all my favourite back lanes, taking it all in. I won't embellish, ( am doing that on the C25K post), but by the time I stopped my run at the level crossing, I had done 7.30 K in 50 minutes and 38 seconds, without even trying! So I had, quite unintentionally, knocked 6 minutes off my Friday run!

I was very pink, very hot and unusually for me.had beads of sweat on head! It must have been warm.

Sounds like a perfect run.  When the planets align sorta thing 😊

Well.. more by luck than judgement... will take a shorter run tomorrow.. going adventuring on a new route.. could go well... could end up in water!

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Water?... not going for a tri-athlon are you..😊

Have a lovely time in the tin-tent.xx Know you will find some lovely running routes.

Just got back from stepping stones,  backwards again. It was easier than last time. Backwards is the new forwards. Lol.

No...just if I get lost... I could end up in Carsington reservoir!!

Stepping Stones, backwards... difficult  

I am hoping to do Speed this morning... across the dam... not backwards.. although ...

We could start a new group within the forum... the 'Going Backwards to Forwards' Group!

Ha ha Floss. 

Im not actually running backwards...thats your speciality..😊

Just doing my route the other way around which I had thought impossible cos of the long uphill drag..

Not impossible after all. x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Yep i guessed that.. only me who is loopy... it sounds a great run...

[heavyhorse Graduate10]

super well done! Especially in this heat!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Thanks... totally unintentional.. and it was quite cool early on!

Now then! I bet you've heard this...."Horses sweat, gentlemen perspire, whilst ladies merely glow" :o)

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I have... and usually I do...glow...obviously, because I am a Lady

So, I shall rephrase my last sentence, (...and unusually for me, I was glowing slightly more in the area of my forehead :)).

Thanks Pamx

[Hidden in reply to Oldfloss]

Quite right! I merely glow too, although sometimes I glow like a pig 🐷😉

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Pam! Not you
