Happy Monday!

Good morning runners! Happy Monday to all and is that the sun I see?! Hope so 🤞🏻 had my garden fenced last week and have been and bought loads of plants but the lawn is way to muddy and trampled to work on yet. Few dry days and I can get to digging and planting ready for the summer 😁 I'm not an amazing gardener having only discovered my enjoyment of it in the last few years but it is an amazingly relaxing way to spend some time and watching plants you have out into the earth grow and flower is extremely satisfying.

Wait this is a running forum, not gardeners world!🤣 I have also managed a Monday morning 10k in 1hr2minutes, it was a massive struggle of in honest and really didn't feel like running, the first half seemed to take forever but the rising sunshine and increasing temperature put a smile on my face and the second half went more smoothly.

I hope everyone running today enjoys the improvement in the weather 👍🏻

That's great, it's always good when a run ends better than it started 👍👏👏👏 Hope you get a few dry days so you can make your garden all lovely with all those new plants🤞

Hopefully, nice garden and bit of sunshine always cheers me up 👌🏻

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I'm looking forward to not running in my jacket 🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jericho2332]

Yes if i run a long way i take mine off and having bare arms is lovely

Good to have gardening meets running, and to know you can enjoy both. Your hard-won 10k will have given a great Monday push on the COGH front. 😁

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

We are doing very well at COGH! Amazing how far we have got already 💪🏻

[GailXrunning in reply to Jericho2332]

Incredible, isn’t it? I love watching our progress. Turn my back for half a day and then, bam, we’ve smashed another milestone! We’ve a new feature on the COGH site, I noticed, called My Runs.

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

Oh il have to check that out 👍🏻

[GailXrunning in reply to Jericho2332]

Plans for the garden sound great, any chance you could nip round here, we've a big garden, needs looking after 🤣 glad you got a 10k in, my last one seems ages ago now, feel ready for another one, maybe at weekend 🤔

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

Well done!

My friend has asked me to do the ormesby bank loop after work on Thursday 🤣

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

I'm thinking about tackling it again midweek, isnt it weird how punishing your body becomes a bit addictive?! 🤣🤣

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Ha ha! Because the tougher the run, the better the post run high 😍
