In 9 minutes and 26 seconds, phew, that was far enough but I'm glad I went out.I've been going round saying I'll get out every day, even if it's only a 5 minute run it's better than nothing.... .and not actually doing it!!! 😯
So this morning I put leggings on instead of jeans , still wore a hoodie over my thin top though, it's cold out there.
I walked a few minutes, probably around half a kilometre, I didn't start the watch for the warm up walk. Then off I ran, kept going for a fraction over 10 minutes then back to a walk and home I went.
So that's day 1,
I still say leggings are like satsumas! Peel a satsuma and you eat it.....put leggings on and you run 😁.
Run happy or rest well all.
It's misty and murky and next doors hedge is covered in cobwebs And dew drops

Very misty and murky here on the opposite coast too, and it was a mental struggle to get out. That and the cat deciding to curl up on my lap whilst I was on the loo.
well done SueAppleRun …I’ve done that in the past…put my running gear on ready for when I’m ready…it works…might have to try it again..thanks for the reminder 😜
Just don't get your satsumas and leggings mixed up SueAppleRun . While it's a great idea to peel a satsuma then run you don't want to risk eating your leggings!! 😂
That’s a lovely photo Sue! Well done on getting out there, even if it is only for a short while - as you say, it’s so much better than not doing it! I’m really pleased for you!
Proper impressed with your jumper Sue! I’ve always avoided Fairisle. Happy to do stripes and Aran patterns but it’s something about the wools getting tangled up. 🤣 Maybe you’ve inspired me. Another job for when I retire! Xx
I know that feeling... I really do.... I am hoping weather and your run today, will get me out tomorrow... the thick fog of the last two days is set to lift!
it’s been a murky couple of days down here on south coast too. A huge well done to you Sueapplerun, sense of achievement must be huge for you 🥰, listen to your body though and don’t overdo it. Slow and steady as we all know.
Thanks, yes I think a lot of the country has been murky and foggy but hopefully will clear soon.I can only do slow and steady nowadays but with consistency I might improve 😁
Congratulations on your run, SueAppleRun ! Since HU tells me you posted this 17 hours ago, I can't help but ask: Did you put on the leggings again today? 😉
Thank you also for the beautiful photo! Spiderwebs are so amazing!!!
The webs are beautiful aren't they, to answer your question about leggings, not yet, I don't get going that early lately and have had a heating problem to deal.with.
There probably have been days when I've put the leggings on but not run. I was thrilled with my time too, since I got ill back in July I haven't run much and most of my kilometres have taken 11-12 minutes, mind you, when I came out of hospital at the end of August I felt triumphant if I could walk to the kitchen to make tea and back, so although a long slow journey it's getting there. I couldn't have run another kilometre at that pace
Wow! Great news Sue! Impressive. I love your leggings/satsuma analogy. It will stay with me and I’ll remember it when I need a little motivation. Setting yourself up nicely to start 2025 on a positive note. Love the photo. Xx
Glad you did that, I'm sort of coming back into it myself after a short layoff. It's amazing what a change even a short run can make for your determination. Wishing you a very Happy New Year.
Thanks IP, I was puffing like a train but not in any discomfort. Not sure where the satsuma/leggings theory came from but one day I had peeled a satsuma and eaten it without even thinking.....and realised it was the same with leggings 🤣
Well done! You got out there, that's what counts😊 what you said about leggings, I agree 100%.......I was standing looking out if the kitchen window yesterday, still wearing my jammies......nope, not inspiring me at all.......went back upstairs, put running gear on, and hey presto, I'm out and running instead of procrastinating about running! 🤣 Happy running everyone!🏃♀️
