Tempted to go for a bit of a run today but tomorrow it’s the beginning of our week 2 of the garmin 10k plan so did a lot of reading and laundry then beach with the children &dog this evening
We had to walk a long way as tide was out but the swim was worth it
“Rest day bliss” now seems as crazy to my ears as “fun run” did a couple of years ago 🤣. My rest day too today, and I think I’ve survived it reasonably well... will have to wait to see if any solicitors serve papers on me for confirmation 🤣🤣
Sounds like a brilliant use of a rest day to me... and so good for families to do something together.
The water was lovely and so good to meet up with the kids, my grandchildren are hilarious, they went last night but i’d been at work all day then run then shopped and had reached my limit, granddaughter apparently said “we ought to get someone else to cook dinner tonight” and when daughter agreed it was a good idea asked who and the little minx said “ sent nannie a quick text i’m sure she would cook us up a vegetable pasta bake and bring it round” I’m still giggling at the cheek of her
🤣. Loves her Nannie’s cooking, that’s always a good thing.
She’s 17 and well able to cook after lolling around all day doing nothing, anyway i had no vegan milk to make the sauce with 😂
I was 25 and still nipping round my Nanna’s just about lunchtime every Sunday... only stopped when I had to move a four hour drive away 🤣
Vegan milk 🤢 well, actually that’s my soya milk face, almond is quite nice.
Aww there’s something special about grandparents isn’t there? i bet you made her day every time you went round
I don’t like soya much can cope with almond though in tea, last time they came we forgot the milk but had vegan cream so watered it down a bit
After tomorrow i’m off all week so will cook for them a bit
I can eat vegan... what time is dinner? 🤣
Whenever the chores are done and the dog walked, I have developed a liking for vegan cheese and coconut yogurt
Is that a really bizarre flavour, or two different things? 🤣
lol 2 different things, and i found out this week starburst sweets are vegan too, learn something every day
Not eaten starburst since before the name change... and I’m assuming opal fruits went around the same time as marathon.
I never did get why sweets suddenly got called something different
Marathon was an alignment between Mars and Mars... the U.K. company called them one thing and the US one called them something else... if I recall correctly they were separate companies run by the same family. I guess was product placement is allowed there but was banned here (think it still is) it would have been an inevitable change as more and more US tv hit our screens, but they’d made the change already as it happens. That said, last time I was stateside their Mars bar was not the same as ours.
Just had a read on opal fruits... sorry... starburst! They’re vegan here... not even vegetarian in the USA. Life as a travelling vegan/veggie has never been easy.
No it certainly isn’t, although fruit is so much cheaper who would want sweets? i was in NY about ten years ago and bought a kilo of huge juicy cherries for a dollar when here they were about threequid for a little punnet of hard sour ones,
Just got back from day one week two 10k plan it’s awesome out there 79 degrees that’s almost 30 c
I spent a week living on boiled rice in Japan once... language barrier and fish in almost everything... nightmare at the time, I’m sure things have improved since then though, I’ve actually met a vegetarian from Japan since!
Nice running... I’ve only been up a couple of hours... gonna be running quite late today.
Thank you, not just got back from work and 5 days off woo hoo
Got mine in and boy was it hot... had lots of fun though, and just about hit my targets for the session. Enjoy your you time.
A good day for you then, first a bit of a lay in then a good run, it got to over 35 degrees here and way to hot to work but good to be home again
Good choice 👍
It was so hot. 🥵
Didn’t want to go during the day when it was too busy
Don’t blame you.
Sounds perfect, what incredible weather you are having. Enjoy week 2 of your 10k plan. Happy running 🤗
Thank you, there seems to be a lot of 3.22 runs, today’s is easy pace, tuesdays is negative splits
A beautiful peaceful picture. The light is just perfect.
I thought that was sailing boats in the distance but have just realised it’s a wind farm. It’s a long time since I went to East Sussex.
😀 they call it Brighton wind farm but it looks like it’s straight out wherever you are for miles, in Worthing they call it Worthing wind farm
😂😂
Looks idyllic there and great to take the rest day as the new running week will be upon you. Good luck again!
Lovely picture and it sounds like a wonderful way to spend your rest day. Have a wonderful week off and enjoy week 2 of your 10k plan 🏃♀️😎
Thanks, started week 2 this morning and now better get this melting wet dripping mess in a better state to take to work lol
As ever WillowandSola, you’re photos are just so beautiful and devine. The perfect way to spend a rest day!! 🤩❤️
It was a lovely day and i’ve made up for it by a run this morning and work afternoon and evening
Brilliant as always!! 🤩🤩❤️
Resting - not from life but from running
