Still here, still okay

Life got a bit busy there for a bit - extra child minding duties etc while my shop worker children and their partners had to do extra hours.

Calmed down a bit now, though it looks like I’ll be keeping Taylor Beagle here for the foreseeable future, as it’s easier for me to get her out/exercised due to where I live on the very outskirts of town.

Started using a Garmin heart rate training plan, yesterday. Will probably need to fiddle with my max heart rate at some point, but I’ll give it a week to see if it will automatically fix them, first.

Bit frosty at 6:30 this morning, but the air was fresh and clear, and warm 🌝 without the biting wind we’ve been having.

Thrashed out my required intervals all in a line while ignoring the Garmin shouting at me that my heart rate was too high - well it’s got to learn somehow 😉 - then had a leisurely walk back to where I’d parked the car.

Good luck with the HR plan.👍 Must admit I've turned off most of the Garmin alerts I set up, though I do like the audio prompt telling me the pace of each km or mile as I complete them.

I run most of my gadgets as quietly as possible - can’t be doing with all the beeps and buzzes, but I need them for intervals.

That is one of the most beautiful places to run, so good to get out

I’m Really lucky, I could get there by running all the way round, but it’s a 2 minute drive, and I wanted to check out what livestock was where.

It’s also a 10 minute stroll away, but wanted to avoid the roads.

lovely pic Madee, and it looks like you can avoid other people quite easily.

It can get busy later in the day - but early doors it’s fine 👍

As a lady of a certain age, I often find myself wide awake at 4am, and it was definitely daylight enough for me to have gone out without a head torch today not long after 5.
