Running with the sun 🥵

13 Replies

Thinking back to what I used to wear when I started this running thing omg I had so many layers..... Today I got it right phew, tee-shirt x1 sock 1 per foot 😁 shorts and a cap..... That was warm I took a drink and I'm so glad I did I'm definitely going to have to think and plan run times as the summer progresses as me and heat 🙄 its not a good combination.........

It was so quiet, I think Boris has made himself clear now and people are listening. The dog walkers normally in pairs.... Not today just individuals and the traffic has definitely decreased. I saw only on other runner, poor soul had his layers all wrong unless he was on one of these sweat the weight off diets, sweat pants, goody and a wooly hat oh heck he looked soooooo hot.....

I headed home enjoying the breeze in my face and the thought of a cheeky ice lolly from the freezer.........

Stretches and shower firstly

Are you solo running

Enjoy!.

Stay safe

10K in just under a hour, very good, it is nice and quite, great run for you today Imc50,

Today I went my weekly shopping, Boris says you are allowed to do that, walked to it, got to the supermarket, only about 15 people in it at 7.45am, got the bus back, no other people on the bus except the driver, later in the morning I took my neighbours dog a walk, Boris says you can do exercise like walks, runs or bike rides, only about 3 other dog walkers about.

Tomorrow I will be running 5K as part of the Vitality Running World Cup, looking at the list I am now at about the same position in the field of runner's as I am at when I have ran a parkrun, with the 5K tomorrow it will take me to three quarters down the list.

Keep safe

Great running and you got the clothes right. Hope you enjoyed your ice lolly🍭.

You stay safe as well and yes I'm solo running but nothing different there I always did😊😊🏃‍♂️

Ohhhhhh the ice lolly twas so cooling 🙂. Snap solo running except for park runs it's just me and myself ( this allows for quality conversation 🙄).

Wales or at least my part of it is deserted 👍 at last the public are listening buddy.....phew

It's just a shame the lengths the government had to go to , to get people to listen 😊

It is indeed a shame, but getting through to numpties is like pushing string up hill 🤯.

My other conundrum is the youngest is pestering to go for a bike ride 🙉 hmmmm do I go and risk imprisonment, opt for a disguise perhaps hat and stick on beard, I may just watch her across the. Road and let her go solo as she's competent and safe and the canal towpath runs along her school friends houses.

Then there's Sid who'll need walkies later eeeeeeeeek this is tricky

Great run Hidden 😎

I've really enjoyed running longer distances in the cold weather, but I am so looking forward to not wearing a hat (I don't suit hats 😂🎩) and feeling a cool breeze wafting around me 🌬️

I'm doing my virtual half marathon run on Sunday!

Good Luck with your disguises! 😎🤠🧔👳‍♂️🧙‍♂️🧟‍♂️😳

Hahaha the disguise issue is a little worrying being the only male in the house 😬 1wife various NHS outfits 🥺 and two teenage daughters 🙈 as for the cat and dog they just wander around totally nude 🤐 so my options are a tad limited ............. Oh heckythump
