Morning run

[SueAppleRun]

I do like days off 😀in winter when I come home in the dark and cold from work tired and hungry we just don’t get out for a run

Willow has been hobbling all week, I’ve muttered “ put those insoles we bought you last summer in your trainers” several times, we don’t call it nagging in our house, anyway this morning while I was knitting and generally grumbling about the wool he put the insoles in and started saying how great they felt so supportive etc. anyway I never say I told you so ..... off we went

Adam and the Ants in my ears I felt so bouncy

Warm up walk, run a gentle kilometre, the air was too cold, my mouth hated it! had my buff round my head to keep my ears warm pulled it down round my neck and up over my nose and mouth, breathing much nicer but now my glasses were huffed up and i couldn’t see!! passed the car and threw my hoodie onto the bonnet, I really don’t understand how i can run with bare arms when everyone else is walking with coats and scarves

And oh flip, we’ve run the first kilometre so i need to run fast to beat last weeks speed challenge,

That was hard.....7.32 possibly my fastest ever kilometre and wow I was puffed out

Gentle kilometre saying hello to all the regular dog walkers, can’t see Willow, turn round go the other way, nope he’s not there, pass the car, nope he’s not there, turned again and there he is gently running still, had already stopped my garmin so walked to meet him

Willow beat last weeks time by about a minute and was still saying how great the insoles were and i still wasn’t saying i told you so 😀

Went to collect some Christmas face masks i’d ordered last week and home

Have a great weekend everyone

Your runs always sound so interesting! Well done for getting out there. So glad Willow is more comfortable with the support - both yours and the inner soles! I still haven't managed to get out because of my back. Thought I'd try this morning but woke up to snow so walked the pup instead which was much more fun. He hadn't seen snow before and couldn't make out what it was! The innocence of youth 😃

Oh that’s lovely, that first snow for a pup is such fun, hope your back soon let’s you run,

Congratulations on your PB 1k willowandsola. Yes it was so cold this morning.

Well done also for your (not) nagging and (not)I told you soing . We’ve all been there! 🤣🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy5 and yes, we never call it nagging

[Couchphoenix Graduate10]

Well done both, I felt like I went on that run with you reading that post, very enjoyable, well done on your fastest kilometre 👍 hopefully the insoles will do the trick with Willows niggley knee 🦵 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Couchphoenix]

His knee is pain free thanks

Wow well done, great time! I attempted my speed run this morning but just wasn't feeling it. Was slower than my benchmark. Think I might've been a bit dehydrated. I'll have another go on Saturday. Happy weekend w&s☺️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Blossom-]

Thank you good luck on Saturday

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

That is fantastic news! PBs all around and no pain thanks to not nagging 👏👏👏👏 fab start to the weekend, enjoy it 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thanks, I’m working this weekend, depending on weather we might get out after work Sunday, next day off Tuesday and i will hopefully get a long run in

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Ha ha!Your (not) nagging and (not)I told you so approach is pure genius 😁.

Set the seed and leave them to get on with it - then it was their idea all along😁

Congratulations on the PBs! 👏

And hopefully Willow's knee niggles will clear up with using the insoles

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

He’s been pain free all day it’s magic and thank you

[9weeks2Run Graduate10]

Congratulations on your fastest km, that is brilliant Sola.

Totally get that, I could not run after work either feel to tired!!

Omg I don’t know how you run in bare arms I wear long sleeves and a running jacket and takes me a while to warm up.

Lol, well done on not nagging and obviously being right!!!

What are you knitting?

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Two cardigans for a 5 and a 3 year old, I’m also listening to a tv programme Willow is watching and reading a book about a pandemic which isn’t cheerful 😀 but interesting

Once I’ve warmed up off comes the hoodie, I love bare arms, but it goes back on again as soon as we stop

Willow is lovely but he does need a nudge sometimes 😂

Thanks fir your comment

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Ah how lovely, I bet they will be beautiful.

Lol!!!

It is so nice how you share a love for running and run together, very special

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

It is really good that we run together we feel each other motivated
