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 👓!

SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduate in reply to Frenc

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! 🤓
