A slow run and first paddle of the year

[SueAppleRun]

Yesterday I walked along the seafront and it was very misty, there was an arc in the mist over the sea.Today the sun shone and I wanted to run......I set a low heartrate run on my watch and off I went, 5 minutes warm up zone 1, 30 minutes zone 2 run, then 5 minutes cool down......

I loved this and didn't get puffed out at all, no need for walk breaks either.

I ended the run on the seafront, oh dear, Jools2020 mentioned the other day that a paddle after a run would be good.....hmm, so off I trotted across the sand, shoes off, socks off and OOOOO, flip that's cold 😂😂😂. There were lots of people on the beach but only one daft thing in the sea 🤣🤣🤣.

A wander across the beach, up the slope, sat on a bench chatting to a couple who were visiting while I put socks and shoes on slightly damp, sandy feet and a kilometre walk home.

That was magic 😀.

Run happy or rest well all.

Too early for a swim though 🐻‍❄️ !

When we did Lowestoft parkrun there was a group of people in the sea

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Braver than I am!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Beachcomber66]

It'll be a while before I swim

[Doris8 Graduate10]

A beautiful day here too today, went for a walk along a nearby shell beach at high tide in full sun. Wasn't at all tempted to paddle and I don't think a run would have changed my mind. Well done you!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

Thanks, I'm a bit surprised at myself, I got home, gardened, then shopped with daughter, then went to hers for dinner, not sure where the day went, oh I bought an apple tree 😀

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

An apple tree? How lovely, something beautiful for your new garden. Beats the rosemary I just bought to replace the very overgrown one I'm (very reluctantly) going to have to remove.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

Rosemary is very beautiful too, my small back garden is mostly paved so I'm making it a special place with plants and trees in huge pots,

[Wavy-chick28 Graduate10]

Sounds fun, I’d have paddled too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Wavy-chick28]

It was so cold but lovely 😀

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

What a great way to spend your time….running and then a paddle! I’m not a great one for paddling myself - which is odd, as I spend a lot of time on muddy trails getting wet feet at this time of year!🤣🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Running through puddles is very different to standing in the north sea, I'm just a kid at heart, show me the sea and in I go 🤣

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

Sounds like a blissful way to spend a day. Well done Sue.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Scruff55]

Got even better thanks Scruff, after tidying in the garden I shopped with daughter then Sunday roast with her family 😁

Thank you,bim enjoying being here, any chance of you coming back up here? Xx

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Ooh I love a paddle in the sea 😍 a great foot exfoliator 😂 Sounds great fun!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Freezing water but I'll get better at it 😀
