Ran there, paddled back

I did a little 15 minute run this morning, walked to beach and ran along the prom, it was the first run of the NRC HM plan, I'll see how it goes. I ran easy for 10 minutes, back 5 and then went onto the beach and paddled back to my starting point, I think walking barefoot across the sand then back up the slopes were harder than the run πŸ˜‚ across the grass, put my shoes back on and walked home. There were 2 ladies swimming and I really had to battle with myself not to join them, I think I'm past stripping off and swimming in my underwear πŸ˜²πŸ˜‚πŸ˜²,

Run happy or rest well everyone.

That sounds so fabulous, Sue, I’m really jealous! Although I did have a bit of a run with my daughter today which was nice 😊

Glad you got out for a run with your daughter, I haven't been here long but loving it, well worth the exhaustion of moving a couple hundred miles away

That sounds delicious! I ran along the "green" path through town - AGAIN! - so am definitely envious!

Everyone is, I feel so lucky, it's like being on holiday when the weather behaves

Ah, yes! I love windy weather by the sea - only time I do! But running with a gale behind wouldn't be great ... and the return journey would be a challenge.

I've run parkrun on the south coast with 44mph winds, a battle there then blown back πŸ˜‚

When l I read this I just fancied having a paddle in the sea and walking on the sand! That prom looks nice to run along. πŸ‘πŸ‘

You are going to love it Jools 😁, it wasn't as cold as I expected either, I could have swum, and the prom is so flat and wide 😁

Being arrested is probably not the best way to make yourself known to the local community Sue! Short cut to celebrity status though!

A nice run of warm weather is what you need now; hope that happens for you.πŸ™‚

SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduateβ€’ in reply toBeachcomber66

I never thought about being arrested... Just running along thinking were they matching? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚, there was one embarrassing time I met up with a guy, he took me to a beach, couldn't resist...in I went, he took photos and it was only when I saw them I realised my undies weren't matching and didn't look like a bikini at all 😲

Well that looks great and I love that you even thought about going in the water in your underwear! LOL My worst trick was swimming in an actual bikini - peach coloured. When I got out of the water my sister threw a towel at me. The damned things were completely see through when wet. It was a hotel pool as well. 🫣

SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduateβ€’ in reply toFionamags

Ha ha ha, yes white undies have been known to do the same! Friends have been shocked in past years when I've said, come on let's swim, it's a bit of a compulsion with me and the sea πŸ˜‚

Sounds like a fabulous run, what a place you live in!

When I was staying in Brighton I'd swim in my running gear, well, the shorts and bra top. Wonderful. Not so great on the walk home though, a bit too clingy πŸ˜‚

To paraphrase, swim like there's noone watching!

SueAppleRun profile image
SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduateβ€’ in reply toYesletsgo

I've swum in running gear, and I've been in the sea in my shoes too as couldn't cope with the stones, but today I did want to get home dry, tomorrow may be a different matter πŸ˜‚

Those 15 minute runs are brilliant and you had a super one!! Love that photo too! 😍

I got out for a thirty minute run at a stupid time of day with much less shade that I thought. I’d have given anything to have joined you in paddling!! I hope you get out for a swim sometime ❀️

Sounds great fun Sue. I wonder if there is a local sea swimming group as there is here - I’m in the group although I haven’t actually been in the sea this year, but the membership numbers well over a hundred here.. my friend Liz moved to Wales and made lots of new friends when she joined a Blue Tits seaswim group - I think they have groups all over the UK.. I wonder if there is one near you?

That sounds perfect. Yes walking or running is really hard, but good for your feet and legs I believe.

Fabulous Sue! I hadn't realised you'd moved as I haven't been reading the forum so much lately. Looks lovely. Congratulations on taking the next step on your journey and as ever, such energy and positivity. And hey, we are never too old to strip off to our underwear, though might frighten some of the locals πŸ€ͺ!! You'll have to wear a cossie under your running kit so you can strip off appropriately πŸ˜‰.
