First outing with Coach B for a while

[SueAppleRun]

And, Jools2020 was too polite to point out on yesterday's post that I have alternative places to run.It's so easy to get out of the habit...but I think I'm getting back into it now.

Today I wanted to see the sea, so that's what I did. I chose a 60 minute run knowing I would probably take walk breaks and photo breaks, which I also did.

It was lovely out, no wind, some sun, no rain, just a day. Me tootling along with shorts and a thin long sleeved top, sunglasses and a buff to hold my hair back, I'm beginning to look forward to being able to tie it back again.

I cut off the road and ran round the lake, where some of the paths are still covered with water but a lot of it has drained away. A guy feeding the ducks and swans,

I enjoyed being out and the bonus was being beside the sea. The tide wasn't high and the waves weren't big, that's what I love about the sea, it's different every time I go.

At just over 3 k I turned for home, back through the old golf course, up over the railway bridge, running easy, smile on my face.

An hour done, not fast, certainly nothing special, but I'm pleased I got out. There's another storm coming, stay safe and dry.

Run happy or rest well.

Had to laugh at your first sentence 😂

That sounds like exactly the run you needed to have! Don’t know how you managed to run wearing your summer gear, though. Maybe you’re made of stronger stuff than me!

A great run to get you back into it. Well done 👏👏👏👍

It was really quite warm, it's 14 degrees now and dark, the sun was lovely. Glad you laughed, I've been making excuses, but getting my enthusiasm back,

That's just perfect! And as a bonus, no canoe necessary!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Gthants]

No, I really hope I can keep running and leaving the canoe at home. ( someone else's home, not mine 🤣) I think my son has 3,

🍏🙌Out with Coach B and he would be so proud of your enjoying such a varied and beautiful route! The easy pace enabled you to go the distance! You are back with a bang! Well done Sue & fab weather for a change! 🤩🤗

Thanks Annie, the calm before the storm

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

If I’d known you were out there I would have waved down the coast . Wasn’t it just glorious when the sun was out, and definitely better than recent days. Well done Sue. Don’t forget if your hair is too short to put in a ponytail, a half up is good with a hair slide.

I'd have waved too if I'd known you were out there, I'll come and run your parkrun one of these days, it'll give me something to plan for.
