Day 2

It's a bit different today, although off work I am going in for a meeting at lunch time so no time for faffing today, To the river and plenty of parking spaces by our usual bridge.

I went for 60 minutes yesterday so decided on 20 today.

Walked across the bridge, kiss Willow and off. As we drove to the river a great big black cloud flowed across the sky and we wondered if it would rain, I put a hoodie on today but didn't really need it,

Today I'm going faster, puffing a bit but comfortable, round the puddles past dogs, people and ooo there is a truck and some people cutting the verges. Smile as I go by

Just over 10minutrs is up quickly so I turn and run back, faster,slower to catch my breath, faster again, headphones disconnect, walk a bit to reconnect them and restart the music and app, sprint a bit, walk a bit and done. 😀

Back across the bridge,

Home for a mug of Oxo. Willow said he only walked a little way then it started to rain so he turned round and walked back but at least he came out with me, I didn't get any rain

No photos, I was going too fast ( for me)to stop and take them so here's another from yesterday

Have a great day all

It looks like another sunny day for you . I saw that you got a few days off but I didn't comment because I've been struggling having no phone after dropping mine on the kitchen floor ☹️Enjoy your runs and I hope the rest of the week you have lovely weather to.

Another gorgeous place! Great run too. I haven’t heard of anyone drinking a mug of oxo in ages. You’ve reminded me of a cafe in the peaks where you could get a pint of tea or a pint of Bovril. It was always a great end to a long ramble. Enjoy your time away.

Yes 😀 something savory after a long run or walk, I like the green vegetarian one best but any, or Bovril or even marmite

that's such a lovely idea - something hot and savoury. I really must try it

I get fed up because I'm so slow, but I know that pace doesn't really matter, I'm running back to back just because I'm off work for a few days and have time,

Well done you.... I did a 20 yesterday!

You had a good run and fitted it in well... these shorter runs are great for that aren't they!

I thought when I saw the photograph that is was you whizzing along on the water!

Thank you Floss, that water is too cold for me and I've never swum in the river, always the sea

I have just joined a Wild Swimming Group, nearer home on Staffordshire.. I am not able to swim with the one at the Coast often enough... I intend going to take a look at some of the locations near me soon!

That sounds wonderful, my bosses boss swims in the sea every day, he can't run as much as he would like and lives overlooking the sea so he crossed the beach and swims first thing every day whatever the weather. I'm alright until the waves get big
