A new week on the Magic Plan

Off we go again, 5k this morning. Very windy on the seafront - but then we do love running in a strong wind! 😳 When I got to a particular turning point, I debated whether to go off on the 8k route I did last week but decided, no, the plan says 5k today and that’s what I’ll do. As a diver I’m used to ‘plan your dive, dive your plan’. I’ll modify it for running!

Have a lovely day folks!

This afternoon is supposed to be beautiful..... but you've got your run done already! Good for you. ... whereas I’m still sitting in my dressing gown drinking tea 🙄

Oh you are so good! We’re still in bed, listening to the wind rattle the windows and knock the tortoises hutch over again. Just contemplating getting up and writing a To Do list. And now you’ve got it out the way so you have the whole day ahead of you! Have a lovely rest of Easter OG x

Thanks TailChaser! I thought I’d sort out a box of old photos today😱 Has lockdown really come to this.......

Love that saying! A good choice to do the 5k and another one down. The wind can sometimes feel like a constant companion on some runs so well done for getting out there and achieving.

Every time I go out with Dexy5, we find ourselves in a howling gale - she thinks I’m jinxed!

Well done Oldgirlruns. You do know you can do the runs in any order you like, don’t you? 🤔

Yes I thought you probably could but I thought I’d just go with it!

Well done OGR. Hope you have plenty to keep you occupied for the rest of the day, in these strange times.

Glad you got out, we are still procrastinating 😀

It’s cooler but shame about the wind

It’s certainly cooler but by no means cold, as I found having put the ‘winter’ running top back on this morning! Enjoy your trip out when you get there!

Thank you we did, and like you the warmer top wasn’t really needed

It is freezing here today and a bit windy. I set out to do 5k thought about going further then changed my mind again and stuck with 5. 😇🌬🥶
