The best of both worlds..... πŸŒŠβ›΅οΈπŸŒ³πŸŒ²

β€’32 Replies

Running through Cornwall on LEJOG5 has inspired me to go in search of the sea. My husband and I headed towards the coast yesterday morning and we had a leisurely walk with our dog near the harbour, stopping for lunch and to watch the yachts coming out of the lock between the marina and the channel before they headed out to sea. The weather was beautiful, just as it was in Cornwall as my virtual self ran the outskirts of St. Ives to overnight at Roseworthy.

Once back home I headed out again, this time for a gentle 4k run in the late afternoon sunshine to start week 5 of the Magic Plan. On more familiar territory this time, I headed out to my local woodland and heathland commons near home.

I think I combined the best of both worlds yesterday, both virtual and real, seaside and countryside. Perfect 😊.

Happy running to everyone, enjoy clocking up those miles πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ and allowing those runs to just unfold.

Sounds amazing Delly-dot!! 🀩🀩 I long to see the sea myself these days! It must be LEJOG fever! I’m so glad you had a chance to see it and have an amazing run too!!

Have a wonderful day and enjoy next week too! πŸ€—πŸ˜β€οΈ

Sounds like a lovely day all round, they're is nothing better than sitting and watching the sea on a sunny day 😊 Then followed by a 4k run πŸ‘

I've seen several posts abou LEJOG but I have to admit I don't really understand the it πŸ€”

It was beautiful down at the marina watching the yachts and then walking along the channel - only problem is my husband’s musing on boats now but my heart is more firmly sitting with a campervan/little motorhome..... πŸ™„

Oh no! You'll have to gently steer him back to campervans and life on the open road πŸ˜‚

Oh that sounds great DD. It was lovely here in the NE yesterday if not a bit windy but I've headed out this morning after lots of overnight rain. I've enjoyed running in the damp cooler atmosphere but still envy your weather. Have a great day and more miles for LEJOGπŸšΆπŸƒπŸšΆπŸƒπŸ‘

It’s lovely to run in the rain but I have to admit I’m hoping the sunny warm days hang around a while longer 🌞. Enjoy your runs - where are you up to with your recovery?

I think any time spent by the sea is good for the body and soul Dd! Good luck with your LEJOG and the magic plan!

Thank you OGR. I love being near the sea - we are about a half hour drive away. Yesterday was glorious, but I now have a husband who is dreaming of having a boat ....... πŸ™„πŸ˜Š

Tell him a boat only works if you can afford to burn Β£50 notes! That should bring him back to your plan for a camper van!

β€’ in reply toOldgirlruns

🀣 I shall! Thank you for the tip-off!!

Wonderful D-d, that sounds like a perfect Saturday to me. I really love my forests to run in but do wish I lived closer to the sea as I love being at the seaside too. You are doing great with your Magic Plan journey too, that 10k is so close now, brilliant πŸ‘

Here's to many more happy runs and days like this πŸ₯³πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘

Sounds like a wonderful day! I combined an early morning run with a later, long walk with my dog, my son and his girlfriend yesterday. It is so lovely to enjoy the late summer light. Let's make the best of it!

β€’ in reply toRoxdog

I agree. We need to make the most of these last few days of summer.

I have just been reading your "ouch!" post. I do hope you aren't headed for the IC again 😯

Getting better. Still taking it slow but dying to get back to the long runs again. I think I'll try a 5k next and if that's Ok I'll start working my way back up again.

Sounds so lovely! Might get some sea noise downloaded for my run. Longing for sea air! You are making good progress in Lejog. Well done!

β€’ in reply toTimotea

I’ve mainly been dog walking but got a couple of good runs in now. I’m taking advantage of the good weather in my neck of the woods while we have it! 😊

Love the way you describe this today! Virtually and in reality you are evolving and it's brilliant to read each post. Keep doing what you are doing and most importantly enjoying it 😊

A walk by the sea and a run in the woods... sounds divine 😊 certainly made me smile. And well done with all the miles πŸ‘

Lovely D-d, love the way you put all that together....Im thinking as long as I remember which world I’m in, and don’t end up at the wrong one, 🀣 I have enough trouble keeping up with myself as it is.... who am I? πŸ€—πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
