Woke up before the alarm again for an early morning run, riding shotgun for Tinytears60 and Plattszoโs Race for Life, then remembered must wear something pink....couldnโt find anything, went through the drawer in the kitchen and found....a hair band! All I need now is to find some hair ๐คฃ so tied this to the chord of my running tights.
Chose the Nike Run Club A Cold Morning Run, a 45 minute run with Coach Bennett giving advice on running in the cold weather, which seemed appropriate given the change in climate. My nose seemed to want to run too...nice. Chose my old route today and set off at a nice steady pace, no PBโs in mind today, just a run, basically because I can.
Reached different points en-route and thought back to having reached them in the past as a goal, as I continued on past them, which was a good feeling, I reached the park and had to do a double take ๐ as I saw a portly old gent with a big white beard walking towards me, wearing trainers....I thought even Santaโs doing C25k!!
Anyway before I knew it the 45 mins had come to an end, but still feeling pretty good I pressed Resume Workout and continued on until I reached 10k ๐ Iโm still amazed at the distance I can cover these days and flattered when work colleagues tell me theyโve decided to give C25k a go because of me ๐
I understand that being typical ladies the Pink Posse have decided to keep a gentleman waiting....and there epic run will now take place tomorrow.
Cant wait to see their posts which Iโm sure will be as entertaining as always....Good Luck ladies ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ

Well done! Just done my contribution for RFL this morning too! It was cold when I set out, but my long sleeved top came off and ran in my running vest after 20 minutes, but I'm in the south east of the UK so maybe it's warmer here.
Well done to you too Roxdog, it was chilly this morning, lovely morning though, I wore my long sleeve top too, needed my running hat as well. I still prefer early mornings for running.
Iโve invested in a Karrimor chest torch, itโs easy to put on and the beam is impressive, plus you can angle it, it has 3 brightness settings and itโs rechargeable ๐
Sports Direct sell them, theyโre ยฃ19.99
Hmmm...
Things I love...

This post maybe only runners will understand because it's your journey and your progress. I'm giving you one of these my man...โค
Thanks GTFC, I think youโre probably right maybe itโs something only runners would understand, itโs funny what goes through your mind as youโre running along. It takes a lot of time and effort before it becomes easier and more enjoyable, definitely worth persevering though ๐
Good run and time for you Couchphoenix, I thought for a moment that you saw me with my 8 inch white beard coming towards you with my blue running shoes when I was running my 15th (not ) parkrun this morning but no, you don't live anywhere near me.
During my run this morning I saw several ladies in pink Race for Life T shirts running on the same route as I was.
๐๐๐well done for the 10K run Couchphoenix ๐๐๐ was cold this morning went very early and I only did 5K and back... canโt wait for the pink ladies post ๐๐๐
Thanks MccHa, it was a bit fresh, but a lovely morning here. Nothing wrong with a 5k I didnโt intend to do 10k, but sometimes you feel like you just want to keep on going......so I did ๐โโ๏ธ
Iโm sure the pink ladies will be worth the wait ๐๐
Hi David_G, itโs lovely when someone says youโve inspired me to give it a go, especially as when I started C25k I told nobody I was doing it, I only told them when I had completed it ๐
