🤣 Not the ideal forecast for an afternoon walk, but fun for a run! A buff and peaked cap over my hat I set off. Not too bad in suburbia as the rain was lighter than this morning & there was a little protection from the wind. The fun began as I hit the coastal path. I spent much of my time doing high speed chases after my peak cap & then slow running to slow down my breathing & my racing heart. I think I recall Coach Bennett saying a speed run was fun! A 3K run done ✅ I am glowing & feeling good. Mmm now for a cuppa and a small piece of Christmas Cake!

I was so pleased I had a rest day today. I don’t think it ever actually got light! Plus, the wind and rain just made me want to stay in near a radiator. Which I did!

Anyway, well done for getting out there 👏👍

Running after a nap looks beautiful!

But I can't imagine running in the sand on the beach?! That must be very difficult!

Big congratulations! 👍

I'll be glad when this wind does down, just did a half hour walk and came home soaked 😂, lovely that you got out and your sea looks like my sea

oh agreed Floss! I didn’t go this morning when it was tipping down. It wasn’t so bad this afternoon except for the wind!

A great run and a great photo - my beach looked very similar - and I did smile thinking of you running after your cap! 😊

🍏Thanks Hettie! About the 5th time I had to laugh!! It’s a tight fit too & has never come off before!
