Cooler Run this Morning

Well i set my alarm for 6.30am (but woke up at 6am) so i managed to get of the door at 7am. I was so happy as i had been struggling to get up earlier to get out before it got too hot.

Well i was out for an hour and half because after 10 minute walk before run and 10 minute walk after run another half hour of that time was taken up with bumping into 2 people i hadn't seen for a while (15 minute stop and chat to each person)and my garmin (because i was dormant for 15 minutes each time) saved the run automatically, so my run was split into 3 runs that i have had to total together to get my planned run time and average pace for 4 KM 🙄

Anyway i am pleased with myself for actually getting up and out at 7am, the weather was lovely that time of morning and i didn't need to take water with me even though i was out for an hour and half, however, it was sooooo busy with traffic and people and seeing people i know, i really prefer to go out at 9am because it is so much quieter at that time, but can't do that yet in this weather.

I saw some beautiful poppies (i hope it is) on this mornings run and just had to take a picture and post it here, how beautiful is that ❤️

Gorgeous poppy 😍They love the sun.

Well done for getting up early, it’s the best option at the minute. It does sound as if your run was fairly sociable though 🙂
