Just a 2k frosty frolic 😁

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) πŸ˜‚

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!

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? ❀️

Yes, it certainly woke me up πŸ₯Ά 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 😁❀️

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.

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 πŸ™ˆπŸ˜†

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

I might start that 30 day challenge too πŸ‘πŸ»

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 😁

Yay you're really getting into a nice routine with your running β˜ΊοΈπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ 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 πŸ’ͺπŸƒ

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 πŸ‘
