Just a 2k frosty frolic 😁

[Instructor57]

Well it was a little chilly out there this morning but other than that quite pleasant, certainly too nice not to get out for another short trot.What a difference in temperature though !

Friday was shorts and one layer on top and it was perfect .

Today was running tights, a base layer and a long sleeved outer top ... Oh, and gloves !

The plan was basically to just repeat what I did on Friday , and that's exactly what I did .

I have my own goals and they are flexible (probably more so than this 66 year old frame at the moment) 😂

So nothing much different from Friday except it was a tad easier ! But still did 1k run then 2nd k run/walk .

I also re started the James dunne 30 day challenge yesterday so will also do day 2 of that later today !

Done my stretches so now time for a HUGE mug of tea and enjoy the rest of another day off .

I love this part time working 😁

Happy running!

Well done Ian✅👍

Thanks AlMorr 👍

Superb! It’s seriously chilly out there today. It would have taken some bravery/madness to get the shorts on again. Really glad you’re back up and running. Great that it was a little more comfortable this time. It’ll keep getting better. That James Dunne plan is a great idea too.

Did you have warmer greetings from Misty this time? ❤️

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Yes, it certainly woke me up 🥶 But as always, soon warmed up !

And yes, a little easier, I'll just continue this until I can eliminate the walks then start to extend again 🤞

The James dunne program is brilliant, the first week is fairly gentle but then gets a bit tougher but certainly produces noticeable improvements.

Misty was out somewhere when I came back , but she has now come home and had some chicken for lunch and is having a little rest 😁❤️

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

She is so adorable. I’m just back from my run…boiling hot. Leggings, long sleeved top. Ditched the jacket and gloves at the last minute which was a good decision. Wish I was in shorts and a t shirt! Maybe going when it’s frosty first thing is the way forward!! No welcome from the guineas. I am still in their bad books for daring to groom them.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to MissUnderstanding]

She's a real Diva 🤣

Haha, yes can't win in this weather but definitely worth a run !Oooh, you groomed them !

Misty would have had my hand off if I tried 🤣🤣🤣

She doesn't mind on her back but if I try to brush her tummy she will attack me full on 🤣

The piggies aren’t too bad for biting but in their desperate attempts to escape, they can catch you with claws. Both like a little head stroke but too far down the back and they’re off!

Great but frosty looking pic there ❄️ I’ve decided I don’t like running if it’s lower than 2 degrees 🙈😆

Well done for getting out and glad you enjoyed it. ☺️

I might start that 30 day challenge too 👍🏻

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Dendev75]

Yes, was certainly chilly but taking advantage of not working 😁The 30 day challenge is brilliant but I'm just using bits that I know I need work on 😁

[damienair Administrator]

Well done on your 2K. Great work.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

It's a start 😊👍

[damienair Administrator in reply to Instructor57]

It's a very good start.

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Yay you're really getting into a nice routine with your running ☺️👏👏👏 best of luck with JD's 30 day challenge! I've just been for my first run in ages. Not feeling up to going through the whole 30 challenge but I'll pick and choose a few of the exercises, they really work 💪🏃

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Many thanks !I'm not 100% tbh, but at least fit enough to get out now .

And I'm going to do the same with the challenge, I'll do the ones I think helped the most and it may not be every day .

Depends how I'm feeling.

Great to hear you got a run in 👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Days off are the best aren't they?

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Absolutely, 😁👍

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Very well done ... slow and steady and enjoying it. We will get there! So cold here today, i was glad it was small runner in training day! I ran yesterday! Blooming freezing and I gave up at 1.7 K!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Yes, quite a change in temp from Friday!I saw your run from yesterday on Strava 😁👍

We will get there I have no doubt 😁

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Well done again Ian! It was chilly this morning wasn’t it. Great to see you out again so soon after your last run 😊😊😊.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Thanks Kate , yes it was on the chilly side 😁But taking advantage of working part time !

And great to see you progressing through the program again 😁👌

[LottieMW Ambassador]
