Run day? oh dear

[SueAppleRun]

Garmin tells me today is run day, oh dear we ran yesterday lol

So today is walk day

We parked at our park, walked towards the seafront through the park round the lake, not so many people plenty of bird life,

Over the road onto the beach, no sand but tide partway out so marched along the shingle, that was more of a work out than expected, feet sinking into the shingle, wind blowing straight into our faces, certainly blew the cobwebs away

I was just getting into my stride when Garmin buzzed 5 mins cool down and Willow said “ I’ve had enough of this, I’m turning round” what a good idea, wind behind us and we marched back, staggered up the beach across the road and round the lake back to the car

Zombie update, hmm had talking and radio but no zombies so no running, did a couple short sprints anyway and home, bowl of fruit, coffee, tea, hot bath and done

I wonder where the zombies were?

Happy running all

Not sure what I did with the photos

Good walk in the shingle with the wind blowing, what we call bracing, it would be hard running in those conditions, you have taken a few good photos, however, Storm Christoph is developing, that could cause severe gales on the south coast, heavy prolonged rain in the north of England and snow in parts of Scotland, good weather for staying at home, not running, I hope you are enjoying your week off work. 😊

Thanks Al, it’s lovely being at home, this is day 3 and i never want to go back to work We plan to be out whatever the weather every day for a while and so far it’s working

Lovely photos you two! And it sounds like a really nice walk - I walked along our beach the other day as the prom was far too busy. And you’re so right, ploughing through shingle is a really good work out for the legs! How anyone runs along it I don’t know - but they do!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

I was hoping for a bit of hard packed sand but there was none, running along the shingle would tire your legs quickly, but it’s just so nice to be out for a while

Probably too windy for the zombies today, sounds a nice bracing seafront walk though 👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Couchphoenix]

It was lovely thanks

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Well done you two... so glad you are enjoying being at home! Embracing every moment... windy or not!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

It’s being lovely, and briefly saw son and teenage grandson today have only seen them twice in the last year

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

That is absolutely great... it must be so, so hard. We are blessed to be able to care for small on and that Mama and Dad are close.. so isolated walks are possible!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

That’s very good, I see more of daughter and her two and dog, we have a field booked tomorrow for dog and will take hot drinks and stand apart, i’ve been vaccinated but could still get a mild dose and spread it around so have to be careful

Sounds like a really good blow the cobwebs away outing. Zombies on lockdown?

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Week7]

It’s a fun game, you pick things up on the way round, I started yesterday and it made me jump out of my skin when there was shooting and a helicopter then zombies getting closer I ran as fast as i can, we’ve been running nearly 2 years though, not for c25k you need to build those leg muscles first, the down side is i can no longer get my legs in my skinny jeans lol

[Week7 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Think I'd end up falling over or bumping into things running away-I don't do horror!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Week7]

No, i suggested Willow had it as well and he was having none of it, for me it’s a bit of fun during winter while it’s cold out, come spring i like to run with no music or anything and look around me more

[Speedy60 Graduate10]

My Garmin told me the other morning that a poor night's sleep meant it would take longer to recover from the previous day's run. As I don't wear my watch to bed, I presume it thought I was dead. Admittedly, that would affect my recovery time. 🤔

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Speedy60]

Oh that’s funny, Willow doesn’t wear his overnight but i only take mine off to bath and charge

[nowster Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

Maybe it thinks you're a zombie? 😉

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to nowster]

Noo I’m runner 5

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

I think I am sometimes 😆

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Speedy60]

Me too first thing in the morning

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Ooo...I can just imagine that bracing walk with the shingle crunching, the waves crashing down...and that noise as the tide sucks through the stones as it ebbs back down the beach....

Walks can be fun too ☺️👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

Yes they can be and as we ran yesterday today was walk, I’m so enjoying being off work, 😀 it was bracing and beautiful

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to SueAppleRun]

Lovely, enjoy 😊

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Walking on shingle is indeed a proper workout 👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

Yes it felt it, and today was muddy fields with dog wearing wellies so my legs feel it, tomorrow a river walk and Friday run maybe king run it’s being a good week off
