Nice little morning trot

I woke this morning and just fell out of bed, into my running gear and grabbed my headphones and phone and out the door before I could talk myself out of it. And it wasn’t as bad as I’d expected.

When I first came downstairs my right ankle was protesting. It wanted to go back to bed I think... but I ignored it, and went anyway.

I was wearing my new earbuds ( courtesy of lovely daughter at Christmas) and a buff round my head so my ears and head were nice and toasty. Thin gloves on too and my little jacket and it didn’t seem too cold at all. I did my warmup walk and off I went, not too fast as my legs were still aching a bit from Fridays Pilates glutes session, I just thought I’d take it easy and just enjoy the morning. And I took a few snaps along the way. Saw a few other runners about, a couple of dog walkers, a lady playing with her toddlers down by the Mosaic nears Queen Anne’s buildings, and a couple of guys just boarding their boat alongside the River Taw.

I was only out for about 30 mins as I suddenly remembered that my shopping was being delivered at 10.20 and I wanted to be back, showered and dressed before that came. And when I got home I was really surprised to see that Garmin reckoned it was -1 when I was out. There was no wind though so I think that’s why it didn’t seem so cold.

Sounds a nice solid 30 mins there Limberlou. I'm intrigued by your new badge, by the way. What is 'Ambassador'? Are you part of the admin team now?

Yes I have been for a little while but not done a lot lately- I usually try to answer newbies questions and offer advice and encouragement but I have had a few issues of my own lately and not done as much as I used to. 😔

I must have missed this. Great you are doing this - but like everything else just now - we can only do what we can.

Great early morning run well done, the wind and sun seem to make all the difference between a bearable run and a cold run. Happy running 🤗
