Doing more posting than running

[SueAppleRun]

I didn’t want to run round our park today so persuaded Willow that it would be drier on the Downs because when the rain falls gravity pulls it down so it just stands to reason that the top would be drier, hmm I couldn’t have been more wrong, it was wet muddy and there were so many people but with the wide open spaces the pathways between trees we avoided most of them, it was too slippery to run so our second Garmin coach run we mostly walked and the sun shone down, Happy Sunday everyone and thanks for being here

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Wow...run...walk...you were out and it looks beautiful!! 😍...well done to you both! ❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Thank you it was lovely up there it always is

[Roxdog Graduate10]

It's a beautiful day here today but very wet underfoot. It lifts your spirits to get outside doesn't it. I did a small jog/walk today and even that rather pathetic bit of exercise cheered me up!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Roxdog]

It really does make a difference getting outside

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Oh, and thanks for posting. I've been lurking and not posting because of injury and losing my mojo, so it's nice to see your posts and knowing that we're all just doing our best!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Roxdog]

Yup our best is all we can do and totally good enough x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Tops of hills can be just as boggy and muddy as anywhere, unless it's all rocks and that's only on tops of mountains above 4000 feet which of course the Downs are not, nevertheless I am glad that you enjoyed your walk and run today, helped by the sun shining. 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Al it’s so busy out there i don’t think we’d have got much of a run in wherever we went

[GailXrunning]

Ah - you got out there and moved. There’s part of my run where I do think the slightly higher side of the path is drier (correction: a little less muddy) than the lower side. But I think the ground is just saturated at the moment. There was one day where it was cold enough to firm up the mud (it was nice to run on) but not so much as to ice. I don’t understand the science here.🤷🏼‍♀️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GailXrunning]

Sometimes it can be firmer but not slippery, ice is lethal

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

That looks lovely Sola - I know what you mean about busy. I had a walk along our seafront yesterday and it was heaving and I’m told it’s the same today! I haven’t been out today but will have a short walk round to my Bubble this evening for supper! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thank you and I’m off now fir a week so will be out again tomorrow, hopefully it won’t be as busy as it’s likely to be raining lol 😂

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

You got out there thats the main thing and your photos make it look like a beautiful day , no wonder it would be busy . Happy Sunday to you too 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

No one meeting inside gets them out and the sun was amazing, i could feel warmth through my leggings, i’m hoping to get out every day of my holiday either walking or running

[dijep Graduate10]

What a marvellous sky and a great view. I reckon the whole country must be under a sea of mud. While out dog walking today it was relief to walk through the puddles.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to dijep]

It is lovely up there and today’s weather perfect oh puddles and mud roll on spring

[Over62]

Great to get out there and enjoy the walk

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Over62]

Yea it was lovely and some running was done too

[acountrycabbage 60minGraduate]

At least the sun was shining and you got some fresh air in your lungs 💙

A slower pace can often mean you see something you might have missed whilst running, too 🙂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to acountrycabbage]

That’s very true, what we did see was a lot of people enjoying the space and weather and that was great, although busy there’s plenty of space up there for all

[Hidden]

It was a really lovely sunny Sunday wasn’t it? So different to yesterday! Those chalky paths can be lethal if they’re wet. Lovely views 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

It was lovely up there and seeing all the way to beachy head is a bonus

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Wonderful photos! Getting outside really does lift the spirits doesn't it? Run, jog, walk, whatever. 😁

I was so tired and lethargic I nearly didn't run today. If Mr B had wanted to go for walk - I'd have an excuse not to run, but he said "No". 😠 Now, after my run, I feel energised and so much more awake.

Enjoy your time off work - hopefully you will fit in a nice run or three. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

I plan a run or walk every day, i want to try zombies run but will mean carrying my phone again but will see

[Birdlady64 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I haven't tried that yet - though lots of people say its good fun. One day

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

It sounds a lot of fun

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Yes, that was very poor logic there 😉 Glad you got to enjoy some sunshine.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

What was poor logic ?

[LottieMW Ambassador]

What a lovely day to be out and about!

Apparently it’s really crowded and busy at our local beauty spots, I think they may have closed the car parks. So in a way (for me) it’s good that we have to exercise from home.

Enjoy your time off 🥰

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

We drive but only a mile, we like to get off the road before we start and looking at the car park everyone drove, we have about a mile to the sea or a mile to the downs It’s great to be high up 😀

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to SueAppleRun]

My daughter is about the same. She will drive to Hove seafront for her runs, but her partner runs from home 😳

They’re about 3.5 miles from Devil’s Dyke...but plenty of places to walk nearer than that 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

It’s very busy there too probably 10 miles to Devils Dyke for me i checked it’s 9.1 miles, i haven’t been there for years

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

A glorious day whether you were running or walking W&S. given the rain warnings coming up, you just had to get out. At least if you run in the rain, there will be less walkers around.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

I’m hoping for a run today and it’s not raining yet so fingers crossed there aren’t too many people although i don’t mind people but dodging them sure slows us down

[Hidden]

It looks beautiful Sola. I was out running yesterday and Saturday and with surrounding farms there was a lot of muddy tractory paths however Sunday had the best sunshine🌞.Enjoy your week off !👍😀x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you and oh yes the sun is lovely

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Great photos and I'm so glad that you got some good weather for your time off. Long may it continue!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fionamags]

Would be nice to see more sun it really lifts our spirits doesn’t it?

[9weeks2Run Graduate10]

Well Done for getting out looks beautiful

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

It is beautiful but very muddy, we need to go on the beach tomorrow so the sand can clean our shoes

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Enjoy x
