An attempt at my land speed record 🤣

Morning runners! I hope your all well this lovely winters morning? 👍🏻

It's sunny but freezing here, like about -3 🥶 but I got out as soon as it looked bright enough to not be lethal 🤣 decided to keep it short as there is ice everywhere! My ballet skills were tested 🤣

Decided at a crack at my 5k record but without going mental from the start, tried to get quicker as I went on. Now I didn't quite beat my record and did 5k in exactly 27 minutes but in these slippy conditions I'm more than happy with that. Still a second best time too 😁 which leads me to believe I could shave at least a couple of mins off that in prime conditions.

Really enjoyed being out today, some cheery good mornings from fellow runners 😁 knee support did it's job, not a bit of bother from the knee 💪🏻 didnt really want to stop at the end but like a change and don't want to be constantly running long distances. 90s dance was the music of choice and some absolute bangers certainly helped keep up the pace 👌🏻

Gonna do a bit of resistance band work in the house before a bath and figuring what to do with the rest of the day 🤣

Happy running all 👍🏻💪🏻

Glad you were able to get out, despite the icy conditions, same down here today, good job it's my rest day. Blimey, that's some pace, you put in today 🥵 and good that the knee behaved, with more of us having to isolate, at the moment, just got to make the most of it, while we can!🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

Absolutely! More and more people getting it, scary stuff. To be expected after Xmas I suppose ?

A good friend of mine has it, he's only quite young and he said it's kicking hell out of him, my sister's kids all got tested as had symptoms but all negative thankfully, just a viral infection which passed quickly 👌🏻

Woah..skating gazelles! That is some pace there, and in icy cold conditions 🦌🦌🦌Well done for getting out there today and it's good to bank some shorter but speedier runs to mix things up a bit. Sure those 90's dance tunes were on point to get you moving! It looks like a lovely day now, blue skies and frosty here..I'm now stuck at home in front of the computer . I'm afraid I succumbed to the early gremlins this morning and skipped my run. Definitely will do tomorrow and am planning a longer one..😬

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Runforurlife]

Those gremlins certainly do get more persuasive as the temperatures drop 😂 I've got so much energy after my run...and 6 coffees 😂 I've done some home workout stuff and am now having my own personal dance off in the kitchen 😂😂😂

[Runforurlife Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Lol go for it!! 🕺🕺 After running, dancing comes a close second to best destress out there I reckon. I might be tempted to do a rendition of YMCA in my kitchen later 🤣🤣

That really did look a chilly one! I’m in the process of making a new playlist for once I’m back in the real world on Saturday- but of 70’s disco for a change !
