Oh the soggy, soggy feet

[Lifluf]

Went for a moderate 5k this morning. It was foggy and spitting at the same time but I'm fairly hardy so it was fine. I decided to add my Strava art at the end as my cool down. I was going to run around randomly in the middle in order to 'colour in' my star (yes, it is supposed to be a star) but I was running/walking in an uneven field with long soggy cold grass. By the time I had done the outside of the shape my running bottoms were wet to the knee so I called it a day.

I must say I thought I was running straight lines between the star points - would have looked much better if I had.

Bristar, thank you for braving the wet muddy conduct for us. Happy running 🤗

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Just re-read my post, auto correct 🙅‍♀️ should of course read Brilliant Star not Bristar and also conditions not conduct🤣

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Haha. I thought maybe a Bristar was a funny shaped star. Thanks Grannyhugs.

If you press the ... you can edit later grannyhugs. I’m always correcting auto corrects.

Unfortunately it was only after Lifluf had read it that I noticed which is why I reposted to him🤣 I frequently edit my posts as I have a bad habit of posting before checking 🤣 I was a computer science teacher so really should know better

Looks like a great Xmas star to me 🤶🌲🤗

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you - a bit squiffy but definitely a star.

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

It's a fab 🌟 well done! Hope you're all dry and comfy now 🤗

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Yes thanks, shoes will take a while to dry out but I'm warm and cosy.😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Brilliant! How do you do Strava Art without it automatically finding “routes”? I want to write something, but it keeps reverting to straight lines. 😩

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I don't use the route-finding option. Just press record and run. Quite tricky to imagine where the star points were- i sort of lined them up with trees on the edge of the field.⭐

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Lifluf]

Ahh I see. I’m not sure I’m able to make up Good Riddance 2020 without a route planner! 🤣

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

That’s definitely a tough one cheeky. 😂

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Tricky - maybe we could all do a letter. I'm sure there's a lot of us who agree with you 😉😊

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10]

Great star! Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Sounds like you’ve got soggy shoes like mine now.

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Frizzbomb67]

Yep, wet up to my knees. Still at least it was the end of the run so I could get home quickly to warm up.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

It’s definitely a star Lifluf - your sacrifice in getting wet in order to bring it to us is noted!

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thank you Oldgirlruns, it was a pleasure (at least it was once I'd dried and warmed my feet)

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

I recognised it as a star Liluf so well done. ⭐️

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy5. I didn't know I was so bad at straight lines 😊

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Lifluf]

Just blame it on GPS - it’s had me leaping to the top of the Clifton bridge and running on water.

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Well that really would be something......

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

🎶Oh-oh star of wonder, star of light🎶

Brilliant you made me burst into song Lifluf!

Nice work ⭐xxx

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Inspiring someone to sing. What could be better! Worth a small sacrifice of temporary foot discomfort. 😊😊

[Sabrina77]

Thats definitely a star! I cant believe you already went for a jog so early in the day! Thats great!

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Sabrina77]

Oh I went out first thing on Saturday. Always prefer to run at the beginning of the day - it sets me up for the rest of the day and I'm just to settled and/or distracted later on.

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

Great ⭐️ Lifluf. Thanks for braving the elements to send it to us all 🤣🤣🤣🎄🎄🎄

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Scruff55]

Happy Christmas running Scruff55

[Forest_Run_Beginner Graduate10]

A brilliant star Lifluf, well done. It's a lot harder than you imagine it will be to get straight lines and to remember where you need to turn and things when you're actually doing it isn't it. Perhaps why people use streets rather than 'free-styling'!? Yours is definitely worthy of the tick on the Bingo card though, well done. ✅👍🎅🤶🦌🎄⛄⭐

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Forest_Run_Beginner]

Thank you FRB. I don't have enough streets around here to do art. There's a 4k loop i do that looks a bit like a gift tag but I thought a star in a field might be better 😊

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Great star - I though of trying one of those on the Sports Centre playing field but was put off by the mud and wet grass.Well done for braving the fog and damp weather

[Lifluf Graduate10]

Thanks Birdlady. The nice thing about cold and wet is it's so lovely when you get warm and cosy afterwards.😊
