And my second fastest if you believe Garmin but my fastest if you believe Strava

Thank you to everyone who has ever read my posts and especially the admin team who keep this site going

There was just enough sand to finish on the beach

Happy Christmas from sunny sussex by the sea xx

I have a FitBit versus Nike Running Club time discrepancy constantly. I think my FitBit is more accurate as I ran with a friend whose own app was closer to FitBit than NRC. Depends whether we trust the GPS tracking on the apps or our watches more!Well done on your run! Fabulous stuff!

Merry Christmas and wasn't it a beautiful one! I'm the other side of the pier in your pic! I went for an early untracked run with new Brooks, but before the present opening so before the arrival of my shiny Garmin 😊 Hope you had a lovely day with your family 🎄

SueAppleRun profile image
SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduate in reply to Sea-run

yes it was a beautiful day, did you catch the sunset? You got a Garmin for christmas? lucky you, I got one for my last birthday and it’s perfect You were out too early then for me to have wished you Happy Christmas 😀

I saw a group coming out of the sea too in east Worthing

Sea-runGraduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun

We saw the sunset out of the windows, it looked magical, but we were well into Linkee by that time and getting competitive! It was a present from my oldest son, he had to tell me in advance as I was looking at black friday deals, I was so surprised and grateful ❤ I sneaked out at 7.30 for half an hour before it all started, very quiet and cold! A friend is swimming every day this year to celebrate her 60th and she swam early yesterday 😲 bonkers! 🤣One day when we're able and not in Tier 4 we could all meet on the beach for a coffee at Coast in Worthing, running from all our different directions!

SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduate in reply to Sea-run

That would be great fun wouldn’t it? Your game sounds fun,

We saw the beginning of the sunset on way home from dog outing but neighbour was coming to dinner so instead of going back to the beach we came home and spent a while in the kitchen lol

Have a great day

A very merry Christmas Willow and Sola. What a beautiful day it was yesterday and we were singing along the prom in Southsea at the same time.

Sorry to see you are joining us in tier 4 today, but running is still allowed.

Ha ha, I’m a cold being but warm up nicely running There was a group of people I passed just out of the sea in swimsuits and towels, I wished them a Merry Christmas and thanked goodness I’m. a runner not a swimmer lol

Happy Christmas WillowandSola. And well done on your record breaking - it bodes well for 2021.

SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduate in reply to Lifluf

Happy Christmas Lifluf, Boxing day has defeated me lol, 2 days of excess rich food has drained all my energy so no run this morning we might go forward a walk later but it’s not looking very likely lol, Feel great just rather full and tired

Lifluf profile image
LiflufGraduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun

Haha. I know exactly what you mean. I went out for a nice 5k on Xmas eve but ate far too much yesterday- plus sugar and wine. I'm thinking of coffee first and maybe just maybe a run later if I can force myself out.

SueAppleRun profile image
SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduate in reply to Lifluf

I start the day with a cup of tea but sadly today it was accompanied by christmas cake and cheese footballs Now i’m doing nothing

LiflufGraduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun

Well I'm always telling people to listen to their body and if it's saying it wants Christmas cake and cheese footballs who am I to argue 🤣🤣

Yes it was perfect yesterday today wasn’t bad but an excess of food stopped us, I might have to run alone tomorrow, Willow doesn’t like wind and rain
