Promised Peggy I'd be out running at 6am in solidarity with her. Ashamed to say I didn't make it out till 6:45, I hope we overlapped somewhere in the running ether.

Another long hot road with so little shade. I started to feel like I needed a pitstop at 10k but annoyingly the fancy guided busway toilets at the station 10k in are locked on a Sunday morning.. What use is that grr. So the final 5k became about managing a situation. I did fit in some trail noodling at the end and also made sure I was near a handy hedge ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ‘. Saw the to let sign 200m from home. Oh my kingdom for an I lol. Made it back thankfully #imodium

Good lad getting out and knocking out 15k! I am in awe. It was a hot morning, wasnโ€™t it? I needed a pee at around 4K this morning, but held on and it went away. Must have sweated it out (euch!! Does it even work like that?!)

Cracking pace, btw.

Wow pinkaardvark, a great 15km under your belt. Well done.

Needing a pit stop is so much easier for you men than us women so think yourself lucky. I live in fear of being caught short when too far from home...

Well it can be busy where I run, so you find yourself a nice bush to s&*^ in and all of a sudden you have a girl scout pack or a bunch of japanese tourists sticking their oar in your business hehe

Hi! Pink thanks for running with me and whow wasI out before you! Apologies first and foremost I got your name wrong,got the pink part right but the rest I completely messed up so sorry! Hope you can recognise the post.

It was great to run with you but sadly I trailed off a over 7k. So Iโ€™m sure you went further. Weโ€™ve got to do this again as itโ€™s such an incentive for me. I think if you know that some one is going to run with you virtually or other wise you donโ€™t want to let them down and it makes you get out there,so cheers for that๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

What a great idea, running together virtually! Iโ€™d be up for that - maybe not at 6am though ๐Ÿ˜ฑ!

โ€ข in reply toFionn42

Hi Fionn! Yes please that would be great. I try and get out as early as I can because of the heat and itโ€™s rather peaceful at that time of day. However normally I go at about 8 ish so anytime please virtually runalong side me๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€x

This virtual run malarkey Iโ€™ve only started to do and I find itโ€™s a great incentive to get up and go! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

So Breakfast Trotters, are we going out tomorrow morning for a run with the larks? Iโ€™ve just checked the weather forecast for to and it looks like 16 or 17 degrees is the coolest Iโ€™m going to get, and that starts shooting upwards from about 8am so I need to be back and sipping my coffee by then. Iโ€™m aiming to do my 6 to 7k - ish trail route as it has a bit more shade than the lanes run.

Shall we say rendezvous at 7am? It is that too late for you early birds?!

Excellent! I might try and get out at 6:30 too - maybe if I get my running gear out and ready tonite it will help when the alarm goes off!
