Beautiful morning for a gentle 3k

β€’21 Replies

Having recently succeeded in getting myself back on track, it has been a little frustrating to have been on an enforced two week break (not the IC thankfully). However this morning I laced up my trainers nice and early and headed out the door.

What a beautiful morning ....... The sun was peeking out through the early mist and although it was still a chilly 4 degrees when I set out, the birds didn't seem to be put off by the cold and they were really rocking their dawn chorus. It sounded fabulous.

I ran down the country track and into the woods, then out onto the country lane to loop back on myself, before rejoining the track towards home. By the time I passed the pond for a second time, the sun was fully out and the sky a beautiful blue.

I managed a gentle 3k and rediscovered my love for early morning runs. A win win, I think.

Happy running everyone and enjoy the sunshine πŸ˜€πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Well done on your early morning 3k .I did a 3.5 last time out .

I think the shorter runs are really quite enjoyable πŸ˜πŸ‘

I agree, short runs are really enjoyable. I'm glad the Magic Plan includes them as I am considering rerunning the runs to help me to get back to those longer runs again. 😊

Well done you! You must have finished LeJog by now?

β€’ in reply toTimotea

Oh, I don't know!!I haven't logged for a couple of weeks, mainly because I've been walking rather than running. I must catch up. Thank you for the nudge. I'll let you know where I get to......

Me too! Doing lots of walking and gong to do some serious Nordic Pole walking. Don’t think I will be running for a bit!

A win win indeed for you Delly dot, that was a lovely 3K run you had this morning, my favourite time to run is also the morning even if the temperature is below freezing.

β€’ in reply toAlMorr

Thank you Al. I had forgotten how special early runs are. Last spring summer I ran in the morning all the time. It was nice to get back to it.

Lovely to do a short run in the sunshine accompanied by the dawn chorus. The pics are great - looks beautiful. I'm working my way back on the Magic Plan too - just about to jump onto the distance version now after getting back to 60 mins. See you there!

β€’ in reply toFionamags

Well done. Im longing to get back to longer runs but they seem such a long way off. I know I can do it though so I just need to remind myself of that.

I’m not sure whether to do time or distance. Like you, I might do time then distance, which is what I did before and jumped into the distance plan at my 60 mins distance (week 4 last time I think πŸ€”). See you there! πŸ€—

It won't take that long. I actually skipped from 50 mins to an hour because I was feeling good. So it will be 8k next and then if it that is OK I will go for 9k the next rather than repeat weeks. Just playing it by ear really.

β€’ in reply toFionamags

I think I’ll be playing it by ear too. I’ve had so many runner’s hiccups this last few months I think it’s knocked my confidence a bit. Fingers crossed the next few weeks go smoothly.

Not what you're looking for?
