Relative effort? yes

[SueAppleRun]

It’s a bit cooler, blustery, oh just lovely, and 4k in 34 minutes a record for me, 3k in 25 minutes a record for Willow, do I envy him the sit in the car having a cigarette while he waits for me to run a bit further? actually no not at all I’m just happy he can smoke when I no longer do and it’s not a problem for us

First 2k under 8km at 7.54km and 7.57km made me grin when I think we got excited when we could run in under 11km

Happy running everyone

Good morning Sola, that was a good run for you today despite being a little windy, good run and a record time for Willow as well. I thought Willow had stopped smoking but you say he was sitting in his car with a cigarette.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Al, no I stopped smoking January he made noises about it but it never happened and we both gained 11lbs lol but we are beginning to shed it again

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

👍

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Great little run for you both in those blustery conditions - wind just got up here so I missed it for my 9am run. Happy running 🤗

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

I like blustery, the sky is so interesting, one minute blue with puffy clouds and the next grey but we’ve had no rain today so far

Enjoy the rest of Sunday

Progress!! Woo hooooo

Love this. Congratulations to you both on your PB's. They are so special each and every time.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

We are plodders but sometimes it’s good to push a bit and today was just a good run

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

Doesn't matter how you go as long as you go!! Great stuff 🌈

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

That’s our philosophy as long as we go, some runs are better than others and this one was pretty good

[Hidden]

Super times for you both this morning! Lovely out there today. That breeze is so welcome!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

It’s great isn’t it? i’m shopping soon but better leave my hair tied up though it’s very blustery still

[Killerblue Graduate10]

That is so good and it’s what I am aiming for ..... eventually and reading it made me smile as well 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Killerblue]

Glad it made you smile, i’m slow and old and my fastest 5k was just under 46 minutes, i checked the time today and decided to call it a day at 4k I love running but haven’t progressed much this year so to find a comfortable run was faster is well exciting

[Killerblue Graduate10]

Lol and I’m slow and old as well but still here doing this the same as you 👍🤗

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Killerblue]

And isn’t it great to be able to do it?

[59er Graduate10]

Sounds like you enjoyed it today. Don't you just love it when you get weather that makes you feel good?

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to 59er]

It was a little cooler although i still came home beetroot red

[Allbarron 60minGraduate]

Well done to you both. You keep knocking those PBs out☺️. That headwind was a struggle this morning but I was glad of the cooler temps. Well done with the smoking too. I'm sure Willow will do it in his own time. Happy running both🏃🏃😄

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Allbarron]

Thanks and he may but not rly he’s ready, i must say it has helped in so many ways though

[Gwenllian1 Graduate10]

Isn't it great when you just have one of those runs?! And I love that sense of finding you have improved when you weren't really focused on it just by getting out there!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Gwenllian1]

Yes, i have been a bit puffed out once or twice so suggested we start really slowly and thought it was a good easy pace

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Great running times for both of you today. Sometimes we just need some cooler weather😊😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

It’s much pleasenter out there thanks Buddy

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Have you not got your watch to sync to strava yet?

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

Yes thanks I deleted Strava like you said and re installed it and hey presto thanks

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Well done W&S, the shoes must’ve been feeling better today. Also very impressive that you have stopped smoking on your own, it must’ve been hard in those early days. You will never regret it as your lungs reap the benefits. 🏃‍♀️👏👏

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Sorted the shoes and they are brilliant, thanks yes my lungs feel stronger and i’m no longer coughing and wheezing

[MartinKH Graduate10]

Well done you both on your respective PB’s.

Great too that you managed to quit smoking. Is Willow going to try and quit too ?

Happy running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MartinKH]

Willow isn’t going to quit smoking at the moment

😀

[MartinKH Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Good he can still run though 👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MartinKH]

He can run a lot faster than I can but I can keep going for much longer

[MartinKH Graduate10]

I used to smoke until about 7 years ago. I found my endurance improved after I quit too.

Anyway, happy running to you both 👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Wooh hoo! That’s the way WillowandSola!! 🤗 Well done to you both!! 🙌🏽🤩❤️ Xx

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Thanks fabulous

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

Well done to you both and isn't this just such better weather for running!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mum22boys]

Much nicer although it was still very warm
