Day went pear shaped, but I squished in a 7k anyway

It was gorgeous and sunny again here this morning, and I had planned to get out before lunch, but what with one thing and another that just didn’t happen.

Instead I finally managed to get out with just enough time to squash in a run by the river, this evening, before fetching my eldest grandsprocket for one of his regular sleepovers.

According to my car it was 4.5 degrees outside, so I was glad I’d opted to wear 2 layers and a Buff as my MyAsics plan wanted me to aim for a pace that was something between 8 and 9 /km.

The moon was out, but it wasn’t quite bright enough to see without extra light, but my chest torch did its usual great job, so I didn’t trip or fall or put my feet in any holes. Though I think I did frighten some of the local wildlife as I could hear things scurrying around in the bushes.

Picture as proof that I actually ran to plan!

There's lots of scuffling around at the minute. All these furry things must be busy 😏

Well done on the run Maddee 🙂

Thank you 😊

It feels great doesn't it when against the odds you get out and squeeze in a run. It has been really cold here too and I was in two layers but I have lost my head band thing. Must find that or get out my new buff.

Yes. Especially when you are in two minds about it until the very last possible moment 👍 I wrapped up warm this morning then stepped outside to find it was warmer out than in and had to strip off and redress in the car when I got to where we were running 🤦‍♀️
