HI all, my first run for a week, too difficult to get one in with family staying.. I go into catering mode and am always thinking of the next meal so not relaxed enough to get out alone. Now we have the house calm and back to ourselves, so no excuse for not getting my running shoes on. I drive 2 miles to the sea as I have swimming stuff to take, just in case I'm tempted. Couldn't believe how many people and cars were out on a grey missley day. I usually run early to avoid this! Not today, the world and his mother was out, plus all the rest of the family and their dogs. Because it had been so wet I stuck to the roads and all the traffic was excellent at slowing down to pass me. Cheerful cyclists said hi, and, despite the numbers, I did 5.something k listening to a Maeve Binchy omnibus. Ending up back in the carpark I changed to swimming stuff,crocs and dressing gown....only managed 40 strokes as I had 2 waves break over my head which then hurts like billyo in the cold.π Sea is 7' and air temperature about 8. Too many fishermen and walkers on the beach... I like it empty and not to be observed! Now home, coffee and antihistamine tablet and cream as skin is itchyπ£pleased I got out there tho, and that I can share the joy with all the vrbs. Happy new Year to all and Happy running.π

You're braver than me! Happy New Year to you too.
Wow oh wow thatβs awesome, I keep thinking about the sea but never been in later than october before Total respect to you
Well done on your festive 5k. So interesting to hear of the busy beaches. Youβll soon have them back to yourself!Mind you, the very idea of even thinking of entering the water is more than I could handle! π₯Ά

Just brilliant.
I am lying in front of my fire and the thought of that cold sea π₯Άπ₯Άπ₯Ά
Oh I donβt know how you do it , very brave. Not many in the sea here and itβs warmer. Well done . Happy new year. ππ
Happy New Year to you too! A fantastic way to blow away the cobwebs after Christmas. I find it hard to get motivated when itβs raining, but once out, lovely and you feel so good after a run. π
A run plus a swim in the sea???? π₯Άπ₯Άπ₯Ά That sounded amazing! That must have cleared away the Xmas cobwebs!! Happy New Year!!

That sounds like an excellent time all round! Other runners and cyclists smiling and waving are what make my runs sometimes, itβs always so heartfelt. Well done for having a dip, Iβm afraid to say Iβd be the one holding the towel! ππππ
Amazing - a run and swim Youβll be doing a triathlon next π
