Short and sweet

[SueAppleRun]

Today’s short run after work was hot and sweaty but we did it! then a swim to cool off

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Wonderful! I'm very jealous!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

I’m very tired up early for work, long day, quick run then swim, weather is due to break for the weekend so wanted to make the most of it

[Birdlady64 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Absolutely! And good luck to you! Brilliant!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

I hope you enjoyed your short run, then swim on a very hot day, good photo, I notice that there are several people in the water cooling off.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

We were out there to the right of the yellow bouy,

The English Channel has been in the news recently regarding the amount of illegal immigrants crossing the Channel from France in a dinghy.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

I’ve seen that, only swimmers where we were

[Hidden]

Ohhhhh a swim bonus, perhaps the canal has potential 🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

I’m sure if I was near a canal I’d find a way to swim

[Hidden]

A run rounded off with a swim? Gosh you two are living the dream! Sounds just perfect 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

It would be if it didn’t have to be fitted around work

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10]

Oooo that sounds amazing! 🥵😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Frizzbomb67]

It was thanks 😊

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

That does indeed sound amazing! 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jools2020]

It’s at the time of year the water is wam, just wait until the sun goes in, I’ll be swimming on my own 😀

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Sooo jealous!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

I do appreciate we are lucky to live so close to the sea and can fit quick beach trips in when the weather is good

[Devon_straggler Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Looks lovely. We're not that close to the sea, but do have moorland streams near us. A bit more bracing than the sea, but so wonderful in hot weather like we've had this week, and close enough to go on a lunchtime break from work. The term 'swim' is a bit optimistic, but the water is deep enough to do about 10 strokes before you have to turn around again! We tend to stick to warmer weather now, but we did challenge ourselves to at least one swim a month for a year and it's surprising how your body gets used to the cold. Enjoy the sea

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Devon_straggler]

I’ve swim as early as April and as late as october in the sea but never in a moorland stream it sounds lovely

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

Wow that looks so inviting. Well done on your short run. I was hoping to go to the gym later for my run but it seems that the grandchildren have invited themselves over for the day 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so I’ll be exhausted after playing tag and football ⚽️ in the paddling pool but hey ho it’s great to be able to see them happy running 🏃‍♀️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Scruff55]

Grandchildren are delightfully exhausting 😀

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Absolutely 🤣🤣🤣

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Lovely! That photo is so inviting, wish I was there 🌊🐚🏊‍♂️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Beatlesforever]

It’s great to be near the sea

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Oh yes, we were walking the dog along the water's edge this evening and it was so lovely and peaceful 🥰

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Beatlesforever]

Sounds perfect

[sparky66 Graduate10]

Well done 👍 and a swim! Lovely 👏👏👏

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to sparky66]

Thanks

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Sounds lovely.

[Martlet76]

I love your posts, they are little bit different from most and are very refreshing. I'm intrigued by the photo of the sea and the map extract of the park. Could I ask (approximately) which part of the world you are in?Martlet

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Martlet76]

Thank you, south coast west of Brighton 😀

[Martlet76]

Wow, I hope you'll get some sun this summer for the sea.I grew up in Southwick, did all my schooling in Shoreham. Now in exile in Toulouse.

Thank you for the photo of the sea.
