Lot chillier today!!!!! 🥶

With the best will in the world I ran today. - fully intending to run 10k for my 75th anniversary of VE Day medal but it was not to be. When I ran on Tuesday it was 13 degrees and I ran in a short sleeve top and capris - today it was leggings and a long sleeve top and when I got home Garmin told me it had been 6 degrees. Just as well I took my inhaler with me too as I had to use it twice on the way round -as well as the two puffs before I left the house. Whether it was the frostier air or just me I found it a bit of a struggle this morning and my max HR was 10 Bpm higher too. But 5k is 5k so I’m taking that.

I’ve also signed up for a Lest we Forget run too so hopefully I’ll make it to 10k for that one at least

It was a lovely crisp clean morning which is usually just how I like it but as the day has worn on I’ve developed a headache and stuffy nose so maybe that’s why it was a struggle. Who knows!! At least it’s dry today which is a plus as far as I’m concerned

And after I’d showered and dressed I finished making my first ever batch of Hedgerow Jelly and a batch of scones to test it too. Yummy!!

Great running limberlou. Obviously a good idea to take your inhaler with you. The weather is a bit colder but today I had the sun also and was sweating as per usual.

Good luck with your upcoming 10k and I hope your enjoy your baking and jelly. They look delicious 😊😊

Thanks - yeah I was sweating when I finished. But I don’t usually manage to keep a long sleeve top on that long.

And yes the baking was yummy

Sounds way better than your last run - and baking to enjoy at the end of it - result!
