Sun=run

Lovely morning. Managed to get organised and got out for a run. 9km. My fastest 9km even though I was taking it slowly so it looks like running up hills does help!

Happy running everyone 😀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🐌

Good going Baddie, and time to take a fab photo too 😊 - and hills, eh! Can't live with them - err, can't being myself to finish that quote 😂

Stellar effort as ever BTP. Had sun wind and rain on this morning's little 3.5k trot. I gather snow is on the horizon, so we need to get some good runs in the bank. Have revolutionised my training routine. Flat white and toasted tea cake post run instead of chocolate brownie....lots of research and impact analysis required to assess the benefits!🍪🍩☕️😋

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

I’m certain, absolutely certain that chocolate brownie is good for you! I’ve done my own extensive testing 🤓. I had fish and leeks post long run today. I decided to up my protein post run, and eat the higher carb oats later.

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

I will take your advice as always😊😊

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

Not sure you should take my advice where chocolate in any form is involved?!

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

I’ll risk it 😋😋😋

Ok, this is very interesting. I am partial to a chilli chocolate brownie made with different chocolate types, with a tiny bit of stodge inside like a fondant and a slight crust on the outside... (dribble...) ooh yes! Well done on your run baddie! 😉

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to ktsok]

Oh yum! I like strawberries dipped in chilli chocolate and chilled. My friend made a finger food pudding once which was quartered strawberries heaped up with frozen grapes and scattered with broken up pieces of chilli chocolate 😋

[ktsok in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Yum mm umm... need to do a LOT of running to work that one off lol

Fabulous Baddie. Taking it slow, going faster. You can’t get any better than that! Well done you! 👏👏👏🎉

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you! I couldn’t believe it 🤪

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

Great run Baddie. Fastest 9k but feeling you were taking it steady - that’s my kind of run 🏃‍♀️ 😃

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Thank you. I really had to push myself to get out there. Felt great afterwards as always 😄

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Well done Baddie! Glad to hear the hills are doing their magic 😀

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

Oh no, that means I'll have to do more of them. Current plan is once a week. At least it doesn't take long to do 2km warm up and then run up and down a few times.

[Bridget007]

Well done 👍🏻 how lovely to be taking it slowly and finding it faster 😃😃😃

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

I did try and go a bit faster on the way home (downhill) so I could get in to work quickly where I'm up to my ears at the moment.

[Katnap Graduate10]

Hill reps do help. But why do they have to be so hard work?

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

I feel like I'm going to die when I'm doing them, but I'm more alive and kicking than ever half an hour and a shower afterwards.

[lexi6 Graduate10]

Nice Baddie! That hill work has really worked. 👍

[JoP61 Graduate10]

Well done Baddie! I will try to keep up with the hills as well. Though I have my inaugural 10K coming up at the end of the week, so I may stay off the hills for that one! 😲😲🤞

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to JoP61]

10km, how exciting! Good luck 👍

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thanks - I shall post about the result, good or bad! 🤞🤞🤞🏃‍♀️
