COGH Rally Day 1

[lexi6]

Good morning everyone from New Zealand and I'm excited to say we are off on our incredible journey 🏃‍♀️🏃

Come join me, that ice may not hold! 🤞

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Hi Lexi6, not heard from you for a while, I hope you keeping well, I have also joined COGH (Cape Of Good Hope) Ultra Relay, you can either walk or run if you wish to.Good luck to you and everyone else taking part.

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Hiya Alan, its been a couple of tough months for me but not as hard as a lot of people have gone through and still are so I feel lucky to be back and part of this team again. Look forward to running with you. 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

It's coming up to 8 am where I am in the UK, this morning I will be going a walk around Drumpellier Country Park where I run one of the parkruns I do, I notice on that COGH app or email there is a choice of walking or running, for the moment I will put in the distance I walk, hopefully soon I'll put in the running as well, enjoy the rest of your day, today in the first day of Spring in the UK, first day of Autumn in New Zealand.

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Enjoy your walk Alan, hopefully you’ll be able to run COGH soon. It was a lovely 23 degrees here today, summer seems to have just got started here in Wellington (normal) and its already Autumn. I do love Spring.

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

AlMorr you can log a walk and a run with a single entry on the same day - I tried it during testing.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

I will do it that way, my first entry today is a 7K walk.

I wouldn’t have recognised you Lexi. Nice to see you back - Happy Running

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Bank robber? 😅thank you its great to be back Dexy

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Yay Lexi! I’ll be on my way this morning. I spend almost as long updating the mileage totals on my various challenges than I do running or walking! 🤣

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

😂😂 enjoy, watch for that ice.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Great to see you kitted out for those icy conditions Lexi, nice buff, I’ll be picking up the baton later today when the fog clears 😀🤗

[lexi6 Graduate10]

[RunaroundSue Graduate10]

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to Over62]

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

Morning lexi6. I’m just in from my 4 k run will log it later after I’ve done my walk with baby grandson. Frosty first run of March but a beautiful day so far 🤞for more nice weather. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to Scruff55]

Brilliant Scruff enjoy your walk with Bubs are you going to log your walk too? Enjoy the lovely weather

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to lexi6]

Thanks I will. Yes I’ll need to log walks as otherwise won’t get to 5 k. Which is minimum login I think.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Go Lexi, go team!

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Good morning Lexi, So exciting to see your run logged and our journey begun!

Looking forward to joining you out there and adding a few km's.

Super buff, hat and snow goggles😉

Onwards and upwards!

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️xxx

[lexi6 Graduate10]

😂😂 Morning Bbr whoo hoo! its exciting looking at the map with the first runs on board. I wonder where’ll we be when I check in again tomorrow morning. Keep warm and happy running today 😊xxx

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Logged my run and walk for a total of 7.8k! We’re on our way - brrrrrrr chilly out there! Must get some of those hand and toe warmers! 🥶🥶🥶🤣

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

👏🏻👏🏻 These might do in the meantime🧤🧤🧦🧦 😊

[RunaroundSue Graduate10]

I'm on my way. Just added my 5.90km to the map

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

So exciting, the map’s looking fantastic!

[RunningJ123 Graduate10]

Added mine too... 7k run and 2k walk... and just spent a very enjoyable time reading up on where we are!! Thank you so much to all the researchers!!!!

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to RunningJ123]

Brilliant Running, its amazing to read isn’t it? I second your comment 👏🏻

[61Lady Graduate10]

Hi Lexi - Yep - we’re on our way. Snuck out for a lunchtime run today as no meetings till 2pm (UK). I was prepared for the cold and took care on the ice - thanks for the tip 😀

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to 61Lady]

Thats dedication 61Lady 😂 brilliant!

[Week7 Graduate10]

Thanks for taking on the first leg. We're all here ready to take on the baton..!

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to Week7]

And everyone sure has Week 7 - we’re flying! 👍

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

You look well wrapped up there lexi! It’s been glorious here on the south coast, really spring like. I’m doing my COGH challenge as a walk as I’m still attached to the IC, so I’ll total my Kms up and submit them at the end of the week. Enjoy your runs!

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Hello OGR sorry you’re on the IC, hope you’re on the mend. I’m so glad we can walk this challenge too, its going to be so much fun. Great idea totalling and saving your k’s up till the end of the week. Keep warm out there its icy!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Totalling up my runs makes it sound better when I’m up against all these super runners who seem to run miles every day! Not that it’s a competition of course!!

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

I know 😂 they’re amazing I don’t know how they do it, wish I had half their energy
