Pre work 5k

Good morning all! Well, I dragged myself out of bed for a run before work, and did an enjoyable 5k. Overcast but still fairly warm with the odd spot of rain. I wore my big over the ear headphones to keep my glasses in place, but didn’t go with Coach B today, just some music. The sound is brilliant on them, but they can get a bit hot especially later in the day or if the sun’s beating down.

All stretched, now for a shower, then off to the place that pays for my running gear! Have a smashing day everyone 😊😊😊.

Good run, makes me feel so lazy! Not even out of bed yet.

Thank you Week7! It was an effort getting up, I cannot tell a lie 😆. It’d be lovely to crawl back under the duvet and have a snooze but needs must. Have a great day 😊😊😊.

Ah thank you! I think it’s set me up nicely - I need more coffee to find out 😆.

Can't beat a 5k run to Sainsbury's and back before work (Other supermarkets are available) 🤣

Lol I could run to Tesco but that would be madness - it’s too far when you’re half asleep! 😊😊😊

I love your reason for work - paying for running gear, brilliant 😂. Happy running 🤗

Yes indeed! Can you imagine if you took up polo or something? The bills! 😀

Lol I have to say I surprised myself! I’ve tried too many times to go after work, and it just doesn’t happen - I get home, and once I sit down wild horses 🐎 couldn’t drag me back out 😊.

I’m similar, I really thought I had it sorted today then the optician phoned to say my new glasses were in, I’ve been waiting 2 months for them and living in a very blurry world squinting at the work computer so off we went to get them instead

I don’t blame you - I’d be lost without my 👓!

Broke mine two months ago and been wearing some very old ones, the world is an amazing place with the new ones on so I’m very happy 😃

I bet, folk who don’t need glasses don’t know how lucky they are! 🤓
