Had to be done

Not sure I can really call it a run but I ran against the wind and I ran across the stones, then I took rather a lot of photos and ran back again. It was almost high tide, I was too impatient to wait another 40 minutes and the sun came out.

Stay safe out there, even better, stay in if you can

Stunning photos and I bet you feel good for getting out in the fresh air no matter what it was like and no matter how far you ran ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ Love the gulls captured in two of the beautiful photos! As coach B would say โ€œA run is a runโ€ no matter how short the distance.

I'll add to it in the gym later, it was more for photos than running

It was good out, between rain and for once I kept my feet dry

gosh it looks stormy. A run no matter how long is better than nothing. I had to take the chance today a window without the rain and just went a 3km walk . Stay safe.

You too Dexy5 it seems it'll hit you first, and no one seems really sure how bad it'll get.

Thursday morning, I have been watching live video streaming from Portland with very large waves battering the coast.

this is our parkrun course ย AlMorr . Yes I have been at Portland in a storm, it really does catch the elements, and currents go in all directions.

sorry I canโ€™t upload pictures

That's OK Dexy, I hope where you live that you havn't had any flooding either from the sea or a river and there is no damage to your house from the wind, the weather where I am in Central Scotland is cloudy with only a little light rain and the wind is light from a easterly direction.

Nothing wrong with a short run. Sounds like it was quite exhilarating!

Running is still my medicine ๐Ÿ˜Š. Although looking at the weather, Iโ€™m not sure about tomorrow! Supposed to be doing some hard speed intervals. If I get out at all, I think they might be quite slow!

SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduateโ€ข in reply toJools2020

I don't think I'll be leaving home tomorrow, hope it's ok your way. The wind is whistling round outside now and it's rough out there

Jools2020Graduate10โ€ข in reply toSueAppleRun

I think youโ€™ll have it much worse! We have the lighter yellow warning for wind. Looks like a gap in the morning, but Iโ€™ll see - not worth the risk if itโ€™s bad - Friday looking much better. If I canโ€™t run Iโ€™ll have a cooking day! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Totally not worth the risk today....now a cooking day, what a good idea, I've been collecting recipes for just this sort of day ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Managed to get my interval run in before the wind picked up! It was raining, but not heavily ๐Ÿ˜Š. Still got all day for cooking ๐Ÿ˜Š

That's good, enjoy your cooking, I finished my book first, it was a bit miserable so I wanted to get it out of the way

Well - Iโ€™ve got a chicken Tagine cooking in the slow cooker and just made a really simple butter bean soup for lunch! Cooked a really tasty Bolognese sauce yesterday. Loads of meals for the freezer. Donโ€™t know happened to me! I donโ€™t usually cook much. Going to soak in the bath before lunch!

Wow you've been busy.....I went to wash up, decided to wash kitchen windows inside and out, then did a bit of painting, butter bean soup sounds good, and it's good to have things in the freezer for those days you can't be bothered

Fantastic photos, all I managed today was a walk along the sea wall to Tesco, stopping in the charity shop and to chat to a couple of people.

It was a very high tide and the choppy water was quite impressive, though being a river nothing like your fabulous waves.
