Just what I needed...

[Jell6]

After what has been, without question, 2 of the worst weeks at work since I started (1981), this morning was a joy.

Crispy, sunny almost wind free. I set out with no goal at all, I just wanted to clear my mind (and wear my first ever pair of winter leggings!!!, they are very toasty!)

A comfortable 5km, and a wonderful 1.5 km walk after it and I feel better than I have all week.

Please take care and stay safe everyone.😷

Oh wow love those leggings! Where did you get them? Sounds like a lovely 'just the ticket' run for you. 😄

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Blossom-]

Thanks, they are from Sturdy by Design, my first winter ones, and I can't believe what a difference a tiny inner layer makes!

Just what you needed Jell6, sorry you’ve had 2 very tough weeks, looks like those cheerful leggings and your run in the sunshine have put them behind you 🤗

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Yes Hidden , it was helpful, hopefully I will get out more next week 🤞

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

I’m sorry you’ve had a horrible time Jell, I can’t imagine some of the things you have to deal with in work atm.

But your run sounds (and looks) glorious 🙂and I love those leggings! The colours are bright enough to make everyone smile which surely is a god-send in the world today.

I hope you have a lovely weekend and can get another run in 🥰

Thanks IP, the north west is pretty badly hit at the moment, hopefully we will see the light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Take care and stay safe 😘

What a lovely run for you to clear your mind, plus bringing colour in your new winter leggings to the world. 👍👏🏃🏻‍♀️

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Over62]

They are quite bright aren't they 😎😎

[Hidden]

Oh crikey Jell6 sounds like you've had a right old time at work 😬 thank goodness you've got that running therapy to escape 👍 pheweeeee.

Love the zingy leggings great pattern, no more 🥶 teeth chattering runs for you 🥳

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I'm sure we all have struggled recently Hidden , no doubt your wife is in the same boat, but yes, definitely grateful to have running, especially on such a beautiful day 😊

[Hidden in reply to Jell6]

Ohhhhh yes Jell6 it's a PPE and mask party in full flow 😬

Keep safe keep running Jell6 it's gotta get better soon 🤞

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Hi Jell, good to hear you enjoyed a great run today to clear your head and give you a much needed boost. You are doing a fantastic job, but no doubt it must be so so hard.

Take care of you too.❤🏃‍♀️🌹xxx

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thanks Bbr, tough currently, but I'm hopeful we'll get through.

Take care 😘

[dijep Graduate10]

Sorry you've had a horrible time at work but it's amazing what a balm running can be, as I'm still discovering. I was literally looking at those leggings last night and wondering should I....

They look gorgeous and will make running even better x

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to dijep]

Yes, you definitely should!!!No more bright red thighs when you get home. Go for it😈

[dijep Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

Out of interest how did you find the sizing?

I was a bit put off by the warning that they were a bit smaller than the regular ones

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to dijep]

I read that too, but as I already size up in this make ( I'm a 12 but get large!) I didn't think I needed to change the size, and just as well, because they fit the same!!. Maybe it applies if you are at the top end of the fit🙄😬

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Just what you needed and I am glad it did the trick.

Sorry you have had a rough time xx

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you Oldfloss , I hope you and your family remain well, and that you are able to get some runs in yourself 😘🥰

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

We are doing well ,thank you. I am not running right now...working on strength and stamina and building back up, mentally and physically! Slow and steady xxx You take care xxx

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Oh I can completely identify with your post! Running is what we need!

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

Yes, it's definitely helpful, where I work they think I'm a bit mad running, they don't know what they're missing!

[Roxdog Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

My colleagues are a bit surprised by my antics, apart from one close colleague who runs marathons and totally gets it. A few months ago, when we were actually working together, rather than working from home, I was grumpy and he said 'you need to go for a run.' 😂

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

🤣😆

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10]

I'm sorry to hear work has been a challenge lately. Those tights though! They are lovely! Wearing them and getting in a great run will help work through those tough times at work.

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks SaskAlliecat 😊, don't think they would be warm enough by your standards though 🥶

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

Not likely 😆. My winter tights weren’t warm enough the other day. I had a cold bum and was wishing I wore my quilted skirt over top. These in between temperatures get me and I have a hard time figuring out the best layers to wear. Soon, I’m sure I’ll be bundled up again

[Hidden]

Love this. Well done you!! Enjoy your afternoon and evening now 🍷

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, now the wine, another issue. I set myself a " only one alcoholic drink per month for September October and November challenge " what the hell was I thinking 🤯

[Hidden in reply to Jell6]

Zoiks!!!!

Fair play to you though

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10]

Wow to the beautiful view and wow to the leggings! I do so hope your work improves it must be so tough. I can hardly begin to imagine. So pleased that your run was clearly of great benefit. 🏃🏻‍♀️😊

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thanks over61. 😊

[PaulS83]

Look at all that snazz! Well done on the run, sup it down, because I’m guessing work is going to get crazier again!

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to PaulS83]

You guess right. It's relentless 😪

I've got a week off next week hopefully, so should recharge a bit then.
