We had a night of howling wind 💨 and rain ☔️ which has carried on to the morning. Plenty of valid reason not to run 😬, but I’ve made the commitment to myself that (bar lightning 🌩, and anything that isn’t safe) I’m out and I’m sticking with the plan. 💪🏽 I did do some “constructive faffing” today! (🧐 new word....😂!) I went into my son’s room and borrowed one of his baseball caps so I could leave the waterproof jacket and keep the rain at bay 🤓.
It was a 1k Tempo run today (the whole distance at your fastest pace). I’m using the app to train myself to get out there and run regularly again. So it’s up..... out....and go! 1...2...3... 🚀! Somehow the App didn’t chime in the halfway point 😯, so as I felt good, I carried on home with a slow jog, so a respectable 2k in the end.
The only problem (there was bound to be one 🥴) was I left my key to get back in too! 🤪! So that makes the faff much less constructive...🤨 it was just a faff 🤣. I’ve made the call to be rescued and have done my stretches outside my door, so it’s not all bad! 🤪 If circumstances would put me off, I’m not sure that I’d ever run! 😂, but sometimes it just shows you how caught up you can be in life and that’s exactly why you really need to take the time to do something just for you! 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
Happy running Runners! ❤️

Thanks JoJo! I entertained myself watching the rugby game. I was so excited, I didn’t realise I was out there for an hour. My hands would say different mind! 🥶! 😂❤️
Hi Sandie!! Thanks so much. I’m not at the stage where I feel I can switch it up yet. I figure if I face whatever weather comes, then I’ll have less debates in the future. 😂❤️
Well done getting out there... even if you couldn’t then get in again 🤣
Tempo with a nice cooldown jog huh? That’s a good way to do them... and you got to entertain the neighbours with your stretches... mighty fine way to start the weekend.
Ooh well done Katnap! 🙌🏽 If the weather there was as it was here since last night, it’s no doubt the reason for a lower turnout. You don’t get to choose the weather on the day. Good for you! Fantastic 🤩❤️
My mantra is that if Fab can get out, so can I! Frosty up here in Scotland but a very nice pootle until I looked up to admire the view. Put it like this - my hand will take an extra day to heal. 😆
