Just enough shade for a cheeky 4k

[grumpyoldgirl]

Phew it's hot already, announced Mr grumpy as he set off for his bike ride. Won't go for a run then, thought I. Then CP2 messaged, she had just been for a run and it was ok under the trees. Good enough for me, off I went! Gentle little out and back, CP2 was right, there was enough of a breeze to keep it pleasant. As I came back to the end of the trees, the temperature suddenly rose, the breeze faltered, and my watch buzzed for 4k. I know when the cosmos is giving me a hint, so I stopped running there, and walked the rest of the way home. By which time I was dripping with sweat, and my face felt like it was about to explode with heat. Glad I stopped when I did, boy did I enjoy the cool shower that followed. Took about another hour for my face to regain anything approaching its normal colour🍅🍅🍅 Take it easy out there folks 😁

Glad you enjoyed your run today, pity you didn't take a photo of yourself immediately after you stopped running 🍅😊was your face the colour of a 🍅 tomato? I think it would have cheered up a lot of us this Monday morning 🍅, enjoy and relax for the rest of the day 😊.

Not sure my phone could have done justice to the luminous red I achieved Al, you'll just have to take my word for it 😂🍅

🍅👍Well done 😀 🏃

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks, your reply gave me a good laugh too 😂

Maybe that should be a post for this week, we all take a picture of our faces as soon as the running stops

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Buddy34]

Is the world ready, Buddy? 😂😂 You go first 😉

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Need to wait until Wednesday 😂😂

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Buddy34]

Heheh 😁

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Good for you Buddy34, not sure what causes your face to go red after a run, something to do with exertion, 🍅especially if you you are very tired after the run, some faces are redder than others, especially during warm weather. 🍅

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

I'm always a hot person anyway, don't want the heating on things like that. So my face is brighter than a tomato and shinning with sweat . I don't care though I'd put up with anything as long as I can run😊😊

👍 🏃

Took to the trees for a slow 5k today too grumps. Quite enough!🥵

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Beachcomber66]

Yep! 😁

Far too hot for me to run, glad you managed to find a shady spot 😊

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to SeeJillRun]

I got out early enough and the breeze made it ok today. As long as I stayed in the trees that is - but for two pins I'd have stayed home, so I'm feeling quite smug now 😇

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Lol! I don’t blame you, I think I would be too. There’s nowhere near here that’s shady enough unfortunately so I’ll have to wait until it’s cooler weather 😕

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to SeeJillRun]

In your place I'd do the same, no sense in overheating. We probably won't have long to wait 😁🌧️

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Very true! 😂😂

Good for you going out in the shade while you could GOG. Roll on the autumn! 🍁

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I'm starting to turn to the cool side with you cheeky, never thought it would happen! ❄️

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

I know! Whoever would have thought us Brits would be itching for cool grey weather! 😅 ☁️
