Weird Sensation?

[dijep]

After the heat of yesterday I was hoping to wake early so I could be out before the sun got up. I needn't have worried as I woke at 4:50 there was a bit of dithering but then I was up and off. After a couple of minutes walking I started having a really weird sensation running down my arms! I was feeling cold 😂🏃‍♀️😂 I laughed out loud at that!

A 30 minute run for me today and after reading so many posts from all of you guys I realise I should probably just forget all about pace at the moment as long as I am actually still running 🤣So 15 minutes on the tarmac and then onto my old railway line and best of all I only saw one person the whole time I was out…. perfect 👌

Lots of lovely wildlife though rabbits a plenty, Red Kites soaring above, some lovely cows (not really wild but I do like cows ❤️) and yippee a skein of geese flying over meaning Autumn is on its way 👏.

And not to forget these lovelies the runners favourite animal 🤣🏃‍♀️🐌

This is Brilliant on so many levels, you’ve given me a different perspective on the plant munching variety of 🐌, how beautiful, snails get such a bad press and I have been know to chase after them with salt! Hope your arms have warmed up 😘🤗

😂🤣 I'm not keen on them in my garden 😊 Amazingly these were all within less than a square metre of each other. There was another one but he was on a steep slope. 🐌😍

Lovely post dijep - it really sounds like a super run!

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thankyou Oldgirlruns it was so nice to feel cool, although by the end I was anything but 😂

Wonderful, and definitely don't worry about your pace.

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Thanks ju-ju for confirming that. I think that had been a problem for me for a while, when I was doing consolidation runs I didn't worry about it at all and I was enjoying them. Then somehow I got it into my head that I needed to be trying to go faster.

Just lovely, good to be able to appreciate the wildlife

I got an apple i picked from the grass on my way past a tree this morning and a springer spaniel that chases and barked and barked and chased so i had to first walk then stop then go back towards its owner to return it

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I passed a crab apple tree this morning and the smell of apples was incredible. Scampy spaniel!

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

Scrumpy Running !! I said it’d be a thing ! 🍎 🍏 🍐 😋

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes, I had one of those apples last year and it was delicious

Sounds such a lovely run dijep. I envy you the cooler air 😎! Thunderstorms are beginning to break the heat up and bring fresher air where I am Herefordshire, so hoping for a cooler run tomorrow 😊. You keep running your own run; sounds perfect to me 😌.

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Hope you've got some cooler weather without the storms. I was in Tewsbury last week, went for a lovely very warm walk up the Malverns. Enjoy whatever the weather x

There's definitely a very chilled out atmosphere emerging on this forum - its brilliant. I don't mean ur goosebumps either....

Happy happy running lovely vrb.

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

He he! love it. Thanks you Fionamags

[OldSpeckledHen]

Sounds a lovely run! Early mornings are best!

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to OldSpeckledHen]

I agree I absolutely love very early runs or walks. I'd love to try very late evening but I've always eaten too much tea 😂

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

I'm intrigued how close to 4.50 you actually went out to run 😉 don't worry about speed just enjoy 😊

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

I made it out the door by 5.20 after my dithering 😊

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Sounds like a fantastic run 😊 🐌🌻 I'm so looking forward to the weather cooling down a bit 🥵🥵💦

[dijep Graduate10]

Me to! I really can't cope with the heat oh for frosty mornings (obviously without slippy pavements) 😂

[Run46 Graduate10]

Brilliant read dijep, I'm so jealous you got to feel cold on your run 😂

I'm crossing fingers for a cool start to the day tomorrow but will not be getting up quite so early as you 😳...7am is a push for me on a non work day 😊

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞I love going out early but can't be doing with setting an alarm so it just depends if I wake up 😊
