A run and a swim

It was hot yesterday and, being the opposite of larks, we didn't get out for our run until after 9am. We decided to do 3km, the idea of pushing on and on in the heat didn't appeal at all.

A few niggles with the NRC app, once again the auto on/off started cutting in so I stopped the run, reset the settings to 'off', then started running again.

My husband was setting the pace, so what was probably an easy run from him was a bit quick for me. Never mind, it was kind of nice to be a bit faster than I'd choose. He was also checking the distance as mine was all up the creek thanks to NRC's wobbles. (Do any of you know whether if I was to uninstall and reinstall would I lose all my data?)

We ran along the coastal path, turning after 1.5km. Just past 2km we decided to have a swim. I jumped in in my running gear, luckily remembering to take my phone out of my belt ;) I discovered that my running shorts are very comfortable for swimming in too!

It was lovely, cool and bracing. The south coast is where I holidayed when I was a child and there's something magical about it. I normally hate cold water but put me in the sea here and I revert to early childhood. Bliss when you're all hot and sweaty!

It was so hot this morning! I when out when rain was briefly forecast but it never came to anything. I looked like Iโ€™d been swimming when I got back-very envious of your actual swim. It looks absolutely beautiful there!

It's absolutely fantastic. Where I live the water is the colour of cold tea, here it's clear and blue, such a nice change. I might stay here ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hi Yesletsgo, I have reloaded the NRC app and when I logged in again my record was still there.

It was lovely, wasn't it. As I floated there a passing cyclist asked if it was cold. 'Not if you've just run 3km!!'

I couldn't have said that a year ago!!!

There were a few in our way, we went out and bought special walk across the stones shoes as I struggle on stones and can swim in them too, itโ€™s so hot I want to go again but itโ€™s been a busy day, do you know about the super moon tonight? rising in the east just after sunset

I've got some of those shoes somewhere, the kids call them 'action shoes' but they seem to have disappeared lol.

I didn't know about the moon but will be driving back home tonight around sunset so we should get a fantastic view over the Downs!

Have a good drive home and hope you see the moon

Would you believe, a 100 mile drive, INCREDIBLE sunset but no sightings of the moon at all. Maybe it rises later here?

Fantastic photo! I could barely keep my eyes on the road as the sky was so spectacular. We finally saw the moon from our bedroom window at about midnight ๐Ÿ˜‚
