Don’t recognise myself - shorts in Feb!

[BaddieThePirate]

After 2 days of waxing woodwork, I decided to go for a run. Warm (for Feb), sunny day, but 4pm by the time I went. For some weird reason, I didn’t like the thought of wearing leggings, so I put my shorts on 😳. Unheard of behaviour for me in Feb, and rather unusual even in summer. But this running lark seems to have improved my circulation. Wish I’d started years ago.

I feel far to over fed to expect running to be easy, so started C25K again, but with a difference. I did run 1 on the outbound, and run 2 on the inbound. Still didn’t manage to keep my heart rate below my mathematically worked out max, but had a super enjoyable run. Walk. Run. And the towpath was, on the whole, dry.

It was warm today, we worked in the garden until lunchtime then had a nice walk. Not in shorts though.

I do normally wear shorts in February, but in Lanzarote

😀

Of course. Hope you’ll be doing that again soon Sue.

Never mind waxing woodwork. I would have been waxing the hobbit legs before donning shorts. Good running Baddie.

Ha ha, that’s what I was thinking - my legs can’t see the light of day yet!

I find I’m finally too old to care 😁. Blindingly white they were. Even whiter than my teeth 😬

Sounds like you're off - shorts and all! Glad you enjoyed it.

That sounded like a lovely run, good for you Baddie 😎

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Brilliant to get out in the sunshine Baddie. Good luck with your phased return. You know you can do it and you’ve got all of us rooting for you. I can imagine your tow paths are fairly busy in this weather too.

I have abandoned leggings on a couple of occasions recently; makes it feel like Spring...once the run starts anyway. Well done BTP 👏👏👏

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

Brilliant. It was a reat day for a run - long may it last 👏👏👍🤞

[nowster Graduate10]

Leggings? I've been in shorts for the last 10 days.

Super enjoyable run, sounds great to me. Well done to you. 😊👏🌸

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Even warmer today and tomorrow Baddie - make the most of it!👍

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Not here it wasn’t! I had 2 jumpers on and 2 coats on. Admittedly I wasn’t running today, but it was COLD and the sun didn’t make it through the mist once 🥶☁️☁️☁️

[Katnap Graduate10]

Tricky temperature! Warm for running but a bit too cold for a long warm down walk!

Missed this... sorry...but shorts!! You are brave.. I am repeating Couch again after a blip in October.. but am plodding through it week by Week. Run1 Week 4 this morning

You sound to be having fun...hope it is all going well!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

It was short lived (pun intended). Temps have dropped and sun has gone in, so back to many layers, and more walking than running done this week. Keep up your come back 👍Great to hear you’re out there doing it.
