Longest, slowest and most beautiful run yet

[Runsome]

Morning all I haven’t posted much of late as I’ve haven’t done anything really noteworthy. I have been lurking and enjoying all the great posts you guys have been sharing. But yesterday had one of those fantastic runs, it was my longest and slowest but most enjoyable, running along the Cornish coast at a pace allowing me to take in all the beautiful scenery. It wasn’t easy at all up cliffs across beaches, steams and muddy paths but wow did it feel good. And 17k as well will go towards my HM training. Just thought I’d share this with you all. Happy running guys 😀👍

Hi 61andtrying thanks

Yes plenty of sightseeing to take the mind off the running 😀

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

That made me chuckle! Doesn't perhaps feel good how brilliantly your body works? But yes, your longer runs will, I'm sure, benefit from any distraction on offer.

[MutleyShuffle Graduate10]

Wow! Awesome! Well done! What a beautiful part of the country to do your long run! 😊

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to MutleyShuffle]

Thanks MutleyShuffle it’s lovely 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Sounds like a lovely run Runsome, best of luck for your HM training. 😊 🏃

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks AlMorr😀

Years ago I used to go for long walks, not runs along the cliff paths on the east of Scotland, very happy memories of the sun, North Sea and the seagulls flying around, so I know how much you enjoyed your run yesterday.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Oh my goodness Runsome, what an ideal run. ❤️👏👍🏃👊 17k is mighty close to HM isn’t it? (Spot the person who doesn’t actually know! 🙄) It’ll certainly help towards your training, especially with cliffs to negotiate etc. 💪

Nice to hear from you again! Keep enjoying this delightful weather, and happy running to you. 😀

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks cheeky it’s as close to HM as I’ve been but a bit of work to do yet 🤪.

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I been reading your posts and you’ve been doing fantastic with your double parkrun and your 10ks 😀

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

Aww thanks Runsome! 😀 Yes I’ve been enjoying my runs. Still snail-like, but that’s just me! 😅

[alisonx Graduate10]

Fantastic! What a beautiful place to do a run. I am slightly jealous that i don't have a route like that but equally not when i think about cliffs and hills that you would have endured

Well done

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to alisonx]

hi alisonx it’s only a holiday run it will be back to pounding the pavement in the dark before work next week☹️

[alisonx Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

oh yes i know the feeling - on the up side it is gradually getting lighter. I can't wait to run in daylight again

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to alisonx]

Can’t wait 😊

[Bridget007]

Wow 17k 😲 well done that’s amazing! what a beautiful place to run I bet it does take your mind off your legs 🏃‍♂️

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Hi Bridget007 yes I needed something to take my mind off them, they were felling it a bit😀

[ktsok]

What a lovely part of the world, I’m glad it delivered a fantastic run for you. 17k, wowsers, that’s a long way. Is your HM going to be on such a hilly route?

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to ktsok]

Yes ktsok the HM will be uphill for the first third but downhill towards the end 😀

[ktsok in reply to Runsome]

That’s a whole lot of uphill... 😳

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to ktsok]

Oh yea😀

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Wow Runsome, I would have been pleased with myself for walking that route but you have done brilliantly running it.

This warmer weather is certainly bringing us all out to enjoy it. 🏃‍♂️👏☀️

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Well I can’t wait Dexy5 it seems to have been dark forever. I remember running with the temp in the high 80’s in the summer. It seem to be one extreme to the other. It will definitely be really nice running in pleasant weather and daylight. Happy running 😀

[JonathanP Graduate10]

That route looks fantastic from the map Runsome. A while since I've been to Cornwall but I can imagine it was really dramatic!

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

Hi JonathanP it’s my first time back for 20years and was really breathtaking photos never seem to do it justice 😀

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

You chose a great week for a holiday in the West Country ☀️

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Yes it’s been very nice and mild with warm sunny weather forecast for the next few days ☀️ . I’m almost tempted into the sea 🥶. The scenery/sea was really dramatic last weekend in the windy storms which is a sight to see 😀

[Wimborne]

I wish you could see my virtual bow 🙇‍♀️ .... 😊. 17km. Just wow and sounds such a perfect run. 😀.

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to Wimborne]

Thanks Wimborne 😊it was just great 😀it will be a shame to run in the dark again on monday☹️

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10]

Beautiful location for a fabulous run! Well done 👌👍🏅😁

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thanks GoGo_JoJo😀👍

[Jell6 Graduate10]

Well that was certainly noteworthy.

Well done, and good luck with your HM🤩

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

Thanks Jell6 😊

[Agelesslass Graduate10]

Aw that is so fabulous Runsome, I love this post as it is inspiring. Spring is coming and we live in a beautiful country. When running you notice things like birdsong, hedgerows and all the gorgeous scenery. Well done on your long run too. Amazing distance.

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to Agelesslass]

It is so nice to take it all in Ageleslass. It’s so difficult running in the dark which as has been the case for quite a while now. Hopefully spring has sprung😀

[Agelesslass Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

We are very fortunate, I wouldn’t live anywhere else in the world.

[Katnap Graduate10]

Looks like you're well on your way to your HM! 🏃🏃🏃😁

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Thanks Katnap hope so😀
