20 degrees warmer today!

Woke up this morning fully expecting to have to self isolate, didn't think my PCR result would arrive until this afternoon. Instead my result came through just as I woke up. Negative, so I'm free! The sun was shining, temperature around 10C (not -10C like last Tuesday,) the river was calm so it was time to pull on the running shoes and head out.

What to wear? Thought about my short sleeved top, did I need a jumper? Compromised on a long sleeved running top and a peaked cap against the sunshine.

I've been spoiled by the sandy dry forest paths. The route along the sea defences was waterlogged and very muddy, really hard work. By the time we reached 5km I was really feeling the burn in my thighs and my feet were soaking. Give me crunchy snow underfoot any day Oh, and I was too hot 😂

Despite these grumbles it's fantastic to be back. I live in a beautiful part of the world and mornings like this are just amazing!

Good news on your result. What a relief!

I bet that run felt amazing. It sounds and looks gorgeous 😍

[Yesletsgo Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

It really was! Unfortunately I had to pay so much attention to the slippery path I couldn't really do it justice 😜

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to Yesletsgo]

You’ll just have to go again then!

Sounds like a good run to me even if a bit soggy,

Oh and that negative result is so good isn’t it?

[Yesletsgo Graduate10]

No complaints really, it’s great to be able to get out 😀

Welcome back Oldbadknees 😊. A really good if muddy run. It looks like it was a gorgeous day 🏃‍♀️😃.

It was one of those perfect mornings, it would have been such a waste to have to stay inside.

Good for your negative test! Sounds like you could use that run, despite it being soggy!
