The steamiest parkrun yet!

[cheekychipmunks]

Did it! 💪 The wind was gusty, the rain mostly held off, but oh my word the humidity!

Not speedy, but I had no expectations today. I’m definitely a cool weather runner I’ve decided. But hey, got round, didn’t walk and although it wasn’t a parkrun PB by any stretch, it was sub 40 minutes which was my goal today.

Bring on my 7k on Monday. Hope it’s cooler. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Hope you all had great runs, and didn’t get blown around too much! 🏃‍♀️🏃👍

Nice going Cheeky - in this weather, anything's good!

Thanks Mike. It would have been easy to bail this morning, but I’m so glad I didnt! 😀

Same here Cheeky well done for getting out there. I did um and ahh but knew I'd regret not going! Knocked just under a minute off my PB too 😁😁

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Gingernutter]

Well done GN! And fab for getting a PB too! 👏👏👏👏👏

[Equi-geek Graduate10]

Well done cheeky! Another 5km on the legs - it will pay off I promise! 👏👏🤗

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

Thanks Equi, you’re right, and even though my snail was with me a bit today 🐌, I could have run further, although not faster! 🏃‍♀️

You are doing great cheeky, I was masrshalling on the prom today and it was extremely windy. As I said to everyone, at least you got out of your bed and ran. Enjoy that 7k in calmer conditions

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Wow Dexy, I can’t imagine how it would have been running on the coast today! Kudos to all coastal parkrunners!

Keeping everything crossed for less dramatic conditions for us all! 🤞😀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Well done - I ran along the canal today and it was very blustery , but you’re right about the humidity- I did chuckle at the chap with the mobility scooter taking his dachshund for a walk - well I say walk but it was too windy and she wouldn’t get off his knee!!! Good luck with the 7k!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to MandiV]

Haha the Dachshund had the right idea!

There’s a Dachshund that runs our parkrun - so cute and it always has a blast. My Lab made friends with him this morning. 🐕❤️🐕

[Crawlhome Graduate10]

Well done for getting out and that sounds like a great run!

It's tough running in this wind, I've just done a painful 5k in it.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Crawlhome]

But got out we did! Kudos to us toughies! 💪

[Runsome Graduate10]

Hi Cheeky. well done steaming through and all the best with your hopefully cooler 7K 😀

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

Thanks Runsome! I wished it had been raining harder to cool me down! Yes, hopefully cooler on Monday ..... 🤞🤞🤞

[Katnap Graduate10]

I think I've had nearly 5 litres of water today.

I hope it cools down after a week

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

I do too Katnap. 👍

Roll on proper autumn! This heat is so wrong! I ran 5k yesterday and was a soggy mess despite going extra slow! 😰😰

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Ang33333]

Yes, where’s our lovely crisp weather, perfect for running? I even cracked out the shorts again today and was still too hot!

[Beanjo]

Well done for running though cheeky. I really don’t like humid so big respect 👍

7k tomorrow-even more respect. You’re doing fab 😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Beanjo]

Thanks Beanjo! I didn’t realise how humid it was until I began running. Really hoping it’s a bit fresher tomorrow. Can’t wait to tackle my longest run yet! 😀

[Hidden]

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]
