Slow and steady wins the race

Apart from there wasn't one really. Just me against the gremlins. This was the first time I managed to get out since last week's Parkrun. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and I had just over half an hour to spare. So I run and it felt lovely. I proved to myself that I can still do it and it feels good....have a lovely weekend everyone 💪🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Good run for you today Zebadee1, I assume the half hour to spare was before it got dark, have a great weekend, I am going to run a 5K parkrun tomorrow morning, the temperature is forecast to be - 6C/21F, so I'll be well wrapped up. 😊 Brrrr

[Zebadee1 in reply to AlMorr]

Yes, first time I didn't get home in rain and darkness today. The sunshine definitely helped. .....definitely sounds like plenty of layers needed by you tomorrow. Enjoy 😊

Isn't it great what you can do in your spare half hour and the sun was out , sounds lovely. I also had the sun and -3 but it was great. Enjoy your weekend 🤗🤗

[Zebadee1 in reply to Buddy34]

Brrrr, I thought 5°C felt chilly. I got to test my new running jacket. It definitely helped......The sun makes everything seem so much better, I hope it lasts !

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Zebadee1]

What jacket did you buy?

[Zebadee1 in reply to Buddy34]

Adrenaline womens jacket from mountain warehouse....I would have preferred it to be a bit longer and more fitted as it feels a little bit bulky, but it was quite comfortable to run in. And I definitely won't be over looked wearing it 😀

Oooh I really like that 🤗

[Zebadee1 in reply to Buddy34]

It's the first one I ever had to buy so didn't want to spend a fortune. I like the underarm zips and the pockets are really handy too....the reviews are good and for now I am happy with it.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Zebadee1]

Might just buy myself one , even better get someone else to buy me it🤗

[Jacca in reply to Buddy34]

🤣 A girl after my own heart just be careful though the watch I wanted turned from a garmin to a fitbit 🤣 but at least I didn’t pay for it!!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Jacca]

😂😂

[Zebadee1 in reply to Buddy34]

That's the way to do it. Mine was an early Christmas present. I chose it, ordered it through my cash back account, just used husband credit card. Both happy 😀

You should be on commission.....I love that jacket too and got my better half to get it for me for Xmas! Win win 😊

[Zebadee1 in reply to Sparkey5000]

I hope you like it. It feels a little stiff, but think it will improve with wear .

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Great run squeezed into the sun, well done. Summer seems so long ago we are all waiting for that blink of sunshine ☀️

[Sparkey5000 60minGraduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

A day off and a delayed start to our weekend away so up and squeezed a run in too. So nice to be watching the sun come up rather than out in the wet dark evenings. I really struggle in a morning usually but this run was a real pleasure.

[Zebadee1]

Thank you....as much as I like winter, I do miss the lighter evenings. Must be cause I'm a runner now, the dark is just too inconvenient 😉

[Jacca]

Well done zebadee sounds like you had a great run 😁

[Hidden]

Well done getting out there and how lovely it was a sunny afternoon. I used to love winter but now I view all weather in terms of whether it’s good for running or not. What has happened to me!! I love that it’s cool but the rain and dark 😟

The thing that spurred me on at 6.30am yesterday morning was the though that so many other VRB would be out there somewhere doing the same and I wasn’t alone in my endeavours. Have a happy weekend.

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

Hold on to that post run feeling as it’ll motivate you to run next time. Well done 💪🏽

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Always....
