I wasen't sure if I could get a run in today but it looked like a decent weather slot so didn't want to miss it .
It was around 8 degrees at 08:30 so back in shorts !
And just one zipped thermo layer on top.
That was perfect !
08:30 is a good time to go as the school kids have gone .
It felt cool on my warmup walk but I knew it would be just right when running.
Started off feeling fine and soon settleled into a natural pace, the only issue was a stiff breeze after the first half K which made breathing a little tricky for the next kilometre.
2.5k in and around the corner out of the breeze but onto the incline which slowed me down a little today, I was actually warming up at this point and it was nice to have the option of the zip top to open a bit !
Onto the last part of the run where the picture was taken and decided to finish today at 3.5K as i hadn't had a good night's sleep last night and was feeling it a bit !
Still, another run done ,
Even Mr Garmin was happy today and decided to reward me by taking a year off my fitness age !
About time too as he has been punishing me since I came back !
Back home , stretches done and porridge eaten 😁
Happy running!

How kind of Mr Garmin rewarding you by taking one year off your fitness age, very nice of him, good run for you Instructor57, better to wait until the school kids have gone.As usual your midweek run coincides with my 5K Wednesday (not) parkrun, this morning was my 86th, what was especially good was, apart from the 1st kilometer, the other 4 were negative splits, my 5K time was 34.31, the temperature was the same and like you I wore shorts with a light jumper over my T Shirt, that is a lovely photo of just after sunrise 🌅. 😊 🏃🏾
Oh Garmin is a fickle man, he adds and takes away years at random I’m sure, if I run for 20 minutes he takes a year off but if i run for 45 or more he ages me 😀A good run and beautiful photo, the sunshine and mildness is a bonus, long may it last
Yes me too, I was a bit miffed when he said i had a fitness age of 79 a couple of years ago but it was fun watching it go down, but running is just something I so enjoy I don’t care what Garmin says about it, all I know is I get home smiling most times
Sounds like a good run and such nice weather! During my run on the treadmill yesterday the weather was also nice, a bit of sun came through the window. Let's cross our fingers that we will get more sunny weather than the gloomy 50 shades of grey!
Well done (again 😊) Ian! I agree that if you’re a bit chilly during the warm up walk, you’re dressed just right. And fair play to Mr Garmin for giving credit where it’s due 😃!
I think it helps getting out when your tired. I go through bouts of sleeping bad and I feel it gives me a boost if I do exercise. Hope that run helps you sleep better tonight 🤞🏻
On that basis if I don't run at all will I go back to being a teenager??! I wish....not really but 25 would do. Lovely photo, good temperature and reasonable run....well done you.
Looks like and sounds like a super run... what a lovely photograph too:)I set out yesterday too, after the school rush, for Week 1 Run 1 of Magic Plan. Apart from two or three very late stragglers, totally deserted
Negative splits too .. always very welcome...well done you!
Great stuff... It can be odd, sometimes even after a poor night's sleep it goes ok but sometimes... it really is hard!I am hoping to do 3.5 today for Run 2... but in Derbyshire today... I feel fine again, about occasionally, doing two run days, but then I am having two days non run, before Sunday's longer run
Just a short way from me and we have taken to heading out at least one day a week for me to do a shortish run whilst Mr. OF has a walk ( he has a crocked knee, from climbing), so the trails are a great surface for him to walk on. It works well, I do an out in walk and usually meet him coming towards me or waking back on the final lap :)You should visit again!
Looks lovely!I remember places like edale, castleton, the blue John mines and the tissington trail , and visited Chatsworth a few times (I lived in Cheshire at the time ) 😁
