To the lighthouse! Again!

[Sarakc]

Got up bright and early this morning to do a longer run! I’ve not been getting out as much lately due to holidays and more recently toothache!

As it was such a sunny morning I decided to do the lighthouse run. (Making sure I didn’t trip and fall this time!!) Wore my little shorts which my daughter passed on to me and a vest top which felt more like a swimming costume!! I do prefer a baggier top but I knew I wouldn’t be seen that early!!

Had a bit of faff with my Garmin as it decided to do an update just as I was about to start running and I didn’t know how to delay it so my warm up walk was extra long! At one point I thought maybe I’ll just have a nice walk instead!!

Anyway once I got going I felt great! I find the watch helps me slow down a bit as I can check my pace! (My toothache wasn’t too bad either in fact since I made dental appointment it felt better!!!)

I love it when I catch first glimpse of sea!! Never tire of it and it made my day when a wee deer 🦌 popped its head up in the long grass! Often wonder what the wildlife think when they see this mad middle aged half clad red faced woman plodding along!!!😂

The sea was a beautiful colour, so calm and I watched a couple of herons in the water!

Headed back up the hill still feeling ok! First time I’ve taken water which was a good idea! Took a little detour through the woods just to make it a little longer as I wanted to get to 14 K to make it longest run to date!

Feeling on a high now and ready to face the dentist!! I won’t need an anaesthetic!!!! 😀🏃‍♀️☀️

[Sarakc Graduate10 in reply to Jelon]

Thank you! Choice between tooth out or root canal filling and crown! Going for the extraction!!😫

[Jelon in reply to Sarakc]

Wow you’re brave 😣 hope it goes well

[Sarakc Graduate10 in reply to Jelon]

Thank you!! Went for least expensive option!! Of course it’s not a front tooth!!! Although I’m not that keen on extractions! 😀

[Empem Graduate10]

Beautiful pictures and fab post! Congrats on your 14k👏👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Sarakc Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Aww thank you! Hopefully I’ll start getting out a bit more frequently now for my shorter runs too!! 😀

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

Oh my, that is so beautiful, how lucky are you to have such an amazing place to run! And what a run, too! I aspire to be like you, Sara! I hope all goes well at the dentist. xxx

[Sarakc Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Aww thank you Sadie! What a lovely thing to say! It was one of those runs that turned out so much better than I thought! Very quick dentist appointment! Was hoping for a longer lie in the chair ha ha!! Got to go back for extraction but not for a few weeks! (Very booked up but that’s ok !!!!)😀

What a great run Sarakc - such lovely photos. How do you do a collage? I’ve got an iPhone.

[Sarakc Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you! It’s so beautiful here! I’m so lucky!

I have an iPhone too and it’s a pic collage app. (Icon is a colourful camera front!) it’s so easy to use. I just use free version! 😀

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Sarakc]

Thanks I shall investigate

[Hidden in reply to Sarakc]

Thanks for this. Ive been doing them in photoshop. This is much quicker!

Gorgeous Sara and well done on a seemingly impossible 14km distance (for me)

[Sarakc Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you!! I used to think 5K was impossible!! Then 10k!! Suddenly you’re just there! I can’t quite believe it sometimes!! 😀

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

I hope the dentist went OK? Well done that looks fabulous and gorgeous pics too

[Sarakc Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Thank you! Got to go back to get tooth out at a later date!! 😀😬

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Sarakc]

OHH I hope that goes OK, I feel your pain, I have had many dental calamities over the years

[Sarakc Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

My poor teeth are so heavily filled since childhood they are starting to crumble!!! I’m sure that’s why I set metal detector off at airport every time!!!! 😂

[Hidden]

What a lovely post. And I have 14k envy now! I hope the tooth gets fixed soon x

[Sarakc Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you! It was great getting out again for a longer run! Felt surprisingly fit after my holiday!! Tooth getting extracted!! It has settled a bit for now!!! 😀

[Razouski]

Wow, I'm so jealous of your lovely views. And 14km is a good distance. I haven't attempted more than 10 over the past few weeks as the heat is really bothering me. But now you've made me feel I should get back to my longer distances.

Well done.

[Sarakc Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

I hadn’t done a longer run for ages so I was determined to do one yesterday on my day off! My legs are feeling it today though!! I’m finding early mornings suit me best heat wise! 😀
