10K with a sprinkle of rain

25 Replies

Hiya,

My last run at this place (a holiday park) and it just had to be 10K. I ran 5 - 7 - 10 here now. 10K meant running around the outer circle almost 4 times.

The run did not feel smooth, I had a few times I felt myself slow down and my body was just not in the mood. But I wanted it done and my stubborn streak is more powerful than my gremlins.

In the last 2K it started raining, but luckily it was a soft rain and not an all out torrent. It felt chilly, though it was 3°C. Greeted some other peeps, most of which did give a hello back.

Back in our bungalow, I took a nice hot cocoa, followed by 30 minutes in the infrared sauna (the perks of renting a VIP bungalow) and a quick shower. Certainly feeling very refreshed now!

My next runs are at home again.

Cheers, Evy

A not feel smooth run for you today Evy, nevertheless I think you enjoyed it, I bet 30 minutes in that sauna felt very good after the 🏃🏾 run. , well done 😀 🏃🏾

I actually snoozed a bit in the sauna 😂. Wish I could put a small 1 person infrared sauna in my appartment...

Even if the run didn't feel the best I bet that sauna was. Oh yes indeedy. I hope you enjoyed it.

A completed run is a good run. 🙂

Was it a cold shower? The one sauna I tried, they told us to jump in a plunge pool straight after. They failed to mention it wasn’t heated!

in reply toIan5K

Neuheu, me and cold showers are like fire and ice. It was a hot shower 🙈

I admire you running round and round in a circuit. Very determined of you! Sounds like you have things organised!

in reply toRoxdog

It was only 4 rounds luckily, I would not be cut out to run like 100 rounds on a track eg. Think I'd go cray cray 😂

Well done on going round the holiday park almost 4 times, aka 10k. Glad most people smiled at you - I like the sound of this holiday park, really close to get back, cocoa on tap, and an infrared sauna 🧖‍♀️ !

in reply toFrenc

Yes, it is nice. Last day today though. Monday it is back to work 😔

Ah work. It really gets in the way of running 😞, but it also pays for it 😃. A vicious circle ⭕️.

I love the way you say ‘ I just wanted to get it done’ haha can relate to that. Also mentally strong of you was doing that circuit four times. In some ways that seems like a good way to run too- not all the time but sometimes!

in reply toStringsandKeys

Indeed not all the time. Should I have been there longer, I might have tried out the roads outside. Though it is only roads for cars and nothing for pedestrians.

Sounds lovely - that after run feeling. How do you manage to run in circles? I get so bored!

in reply tosofaspud

On a track I can't do that either. But here you run in a sort of forest (on roads). So you see the whole time tbe same thing: trees. There are only a few points where I noticed I was running in circles.

I admire your doggedness - I would be bored witless doing the same loop 4 times and I'd quickly give up 😱👏

in reply toWoollyweaver

You don't notice it is always the same as it is in a forest-like environment. So it was ok ☺

I once rented an apartment in Finland for a 6 week project and surprisingly it had a sauna in the bathroom. That was grrreat! Loved that!
