Quick morning run in the ☀️☀️☀️

[cheekychipmunks]

Hello VRBs 👋

I had a lovely first run in Tenerife this morning. A relaxed 5k along the prom in Los Cristianos at about 8am. 😎 It was obviously the popular time to get out there because I was accompanied by numerous other runners and walkers, all taking advantage of the relative cool before the heat of the day hit. ☀️🏃‍♀️

It’s a very hilly resort and I’m determined to run a hill or two this week, promise! Today’s run was basically flat. 👍

Definitely nice being back in shorts and a vest top, and after the toxic 10 was over, I pootled along happily, definitely slow and steady! I’m in holiday mode and not out to break any records this week! (Wait, I never break records!) 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Got back for yoga on our hotel balcony with my daughters, followed by a tasty and fairly healthy breakfast - then we hit the beach and that’s where my activity for the day ended!

It felt great to get out running and I’m planning 2 or 3 more while we’re here.

Have a good week everyone, and happy running to you all. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Just a teensy, eensy, weensy bit envious ...... Have a fantastic time

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda, I have to say it’s pretty nice! But reading some of the posts on here it sounds like there has been some lovely running weather back at home too! ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️❤️

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Less lovely this weekend just passed ... 🌧🌧🌧

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Yes we didn’t fly until Monday so experienced that joy! 🌧 💨

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Glad you enjoyed your slow and steady run today cheeky, seems that you have enjoyed it with the company of other runners and walkers. So you do yoga as well, that's wonderful, last year my daughter gave me a yoga mat and I do yoga planks along with some YouTube videos, enjoy your runs, even the hilly ones.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks AlMorr, yes it was nice being out at the same time as others. ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️❤️ I’ll go out again on Thursday morning and tackle one of those hills! 🏃‍♀️💪

My older daughter introduced me to yoga last year before I began running, and I really took to it. It’s why I don’t find planks too daunting! 😀

[Hidden]

Sounds bloody lovely! Glad your also scheduling some more runs in. At least it’s nice and warm. It’s like the arctic in old Blighty!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

It is lovely Dave! It’ll be hard coming back next week - but hopefully spring won’t be long in coming. 🤞🤞

[Hidden in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Absolutely. I think everyone thought it was almost here. Then we all realised it’s still actually winter.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I know, that week of spring-like weather we just had gave us all a false sense of security! Cruel! 😅😅

[Jell6 Graduate10]

🍷🍸

Have a lovely time🏖🏝

Pretty cold and blowy here!!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

Thanks Jell! Still on the beach. 🏝 Planning where to eat later! 😀☀️

[Runsome Graduate10]

Sounds idyllic I’m well jealous. Have a fantastic break 😎🌞😀

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

Thanks Runsome! It’s our annual girls’ trip, just my daughters and me! Hubby and son are left in the cold. Sorry guys! 😅

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Ah poor guys 😀

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

Haha, indeed! We FaceTimed my husband from the beach earlier just to rub it in! How mean was that? 😅😅

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Poor thing😊

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

Sounds CC...lucky you in the sunshine, although I sit here typing this eating my salad with the sun streaming through the windows...open the front door though and whoosh...it's wizard of oz style weather here!!! I love tourist running, enjoy your holiday, you'll have a lovely tan to show off when you get back!! (That's me being optimistic about the weather!!) X

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

Thanks MC! It reminds me of C25K which I did throughout the heatwave last summer! 🏃‍♀️☀️🏃‍♀️☀️

I also enjoy tourist running, it’s lovely exploring new surroundings. 👍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👍

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

That’s it rub it in CC ...wind rain and cold here today! My legs would have been blue had they not been buried under my thickest leggings. Glad you are having a great time with your family CC...nothing better😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

Oh no, sorry BC! Didn’t mean to rub it in (whoa I’m hot, where’s the sunscreen☀️🏝☀️🏝☀️🏝☀️😅)

We’re here until next Monday so I’m planning more early morning runs to justify lying on the beach during the day! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

You just have a great time😊

[Beanjo]

Hey well done for packing your running gear cheeky. I left mine at home when I went to Tenerife the other week 🙄

Enjoy the rest of your hols and make the most of running in shorts and t shirt again😊😎🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Beanjo]

It’s funny Beanjo, it’s the first thing I packed! 😇

I’ll definitely make the most of warm weather running this week. I’ll brace myself for normality next week! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Tinker5393 Graduate10]

Lucky you in the sun ,☀️well done running on your hols. Enjoy 😎🍸🍸

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Tinker5393]

Thanks Tinker, it’s our annual mother/daughters week in the sun. This time last year I wasn’t yet running, so it’s nice to be able to incorporate it, and the weather definitely helps! 🏃‍♀️👍☀️

[Flaraflarkin Graduate10]

Sounds beaut 🤗 Soak it up and enjoy 🦋💕🏃‍♀️🌞

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Thanks Flara. First day of soaking up definitely done. ☀️☀️ Next run planned for Thursday morning, nice and early. 😀😀

[Tartancat Graduate10]

So jealous! Have a wonderful time Cheeky, and please bring some sunshine back with you 🏖🌞🍹

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Tartancat]

Ok TC, I’ll try! ☀️ I could get used to this kind of warmth at home (ignoring the fact we were all grumbling how hot it was running last summer! 😅)

[Becky1606 Graduate10]

Sounds beautiful!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Becky1606]

It really is Becky. 😍

[Wimborne]

Oooooo I am so blinking jealous!!!!! Is it lovely and hot?? If it gets too hot just run in your bikini 👙 lol 😂

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Wimborne]

It is really hot Wimborne - hey there’s the solution though! 👙🏃‍♀️👙😅

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Is it okay to be a bit green with envy!

Well done you and happy holiday!

Too right Deals. I could get used to this! ☀️☀️

[Gran4z Graduate10]

Sounds wonderful - I’ve forgotten what it’s like to run in shorts and a tee shirt. Enjoy lots 🌻 and happy holidays 🙂

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Gran4z]

Hopefully won’t be too much longer Gran4z ....... we might be lucky enough in May - maybe? 🤞🤞🤞

[Bridget007]

Sounds lovely 😊 ☀️ 😎 🏃🏻‍♀️ and yoga 🧘‍♀️ too! You definitely deserved to sunbathe the rest of the day 🏖 enjoy the rest of your girls holiday 😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Thanks Bridget. It’s lovely having some girl time, just kicking back and relaxing in the sun. ❤️

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Sounds lovely. Have a super holiday and lots of fun sun runs 😎

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thank you Baddie, can’t wait to get out again tomorrow morning. 🏃‍♀️☀️🏃‍♀️

[Katnap Graduate10]

Super dedication to run on your holiday. Have a nice break! 😁

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

My running gear was first into my suitcase Katnap! Who’d have thought that would ever happen? 😅🏃‍♀️☀️

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10]

Sounds marvellous! Enjoy your holiday and getting a few runs in.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks Sask, I’m hoping to do 3 more before we fly on Monday. Can’t wait for the next one! ☀️🏃‍♀️☀️

[lexi6 Graduate10]

Ooh! lovely. Envious Cheeky, sounds gorgeous lovely run and yoga on the balcony. Big sigh. Have a fab holiday 👍

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

It’s pretty amazing I have to admit Lexi! 🏃‍♀️🧘‍♀️☀️🏖 Not sure what your weather’s like, but apparently it rained a lot at home yesterday. It’s the reason we enjoy a winter break. 😀

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Wet and of course windy here, my sister in law from Sydney is staying with us at the moment and is loving the cooler temperatures her daughter in Sydney said it was 38 degrees there yesterday. 🥵 a winter holiday sounds bliss, have fun and Happy running and stretching 😁

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Oh my, 38 degrees is brutal. I bet your sister is enjoying the wet and windy weather!

Another run tomorrow - but beach again today. 🏖❤️

[ktsok]

That sounds wonderful. You are an international runner, cheeky! 🙂

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to ktsok]

I know ktsok! And I did several C25K runs in Germany last summer! It’s fun! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[EmmaRunning Graduate10]

Always nice to be running by the sea in the sunshine - enjoy!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to EmmaRunning]

Certainly is Emma! 😀🏃‍♀️☀️🏖

[quirkybee]

Good morning to you @cheekychipmunks (why didn't that highlight your name?) ahh 🙄 how are you? Sounds like you've set the record there innTenerife, I bet that was lovely doing a run there and especially before it gets too hot. Well done to you. Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday x 😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to quirkybee]

Thanks QB! It was lovely out there and it felt great being out with everyone else too - like being part of it if you know what I mean. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ We walked the same route later in the day. Very hot and very busy. I felt righteous having done my run earlier. More of same tomorrow. 🏃‍♀️☀️

[Silvanus]

Awesome ... enjoy

[Lezlie]

Great! I had been on Fuerteventura in January and it was fantastic to run near the coast! Have a great time there and some good runs!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Lezlie]

Aww thanks Lezlie, we’d thought about Fuerteventura too. Maybe next year. Last year was Lanzarote - the Canaries are awesome for a winter break aren’t they? Running here is the icing on the cake! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Hidden]

I am feeling so jealous. It is grey windy and wet here! Nothing like running tourism

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Isn’t it the best HW? I’m planning another run for tomorrow morning, slightly earlier than yesterday as it was pretty warm. 🏃‍♀️☀️

Back to reality next week .....:

[grumpyoldgirl]

Me jealous? Not a bit of it! Cracking idea to just go with the girls cheeky, have a fantastic time all of you.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Aww thanks GOG. It’s lovely holidaying with my daughters. The sunshine and warmth make running so beautiful too. Back to reality next week. 🙄

[Crawlhome Graduate10]

Wow cheeky, that sounds absolutely blissful and well done for running on holiday. I hope you have a wonderful time, I thought of you on my run today while caught in a hail shower. 😉

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Crawlhome]

Definitely fun running back in the warmth again CH! I’m hoping to go back out on Monday before we fly home. Was planning on tomorrow, but I jammed my foot walking yesterday (didn’t realise there was a kerb 🤦‍♀️) and it’s a little sore. I’ll give it a couple of days’ rest I think.

Hope the weather at home is improving for the weekend. 🤞
