Short sleeves! First time this year 😎☀

Happy International Womens Day!👩‍🦳👩‍🦱👩‍🦰👩👵🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️💨💨

Another beautiful morning, enough to tempt me to a pre breakfast run instead of the mid morning ones I've been doing lately.

Wore a short sleeved t shirt for the first time this year, summer is on its way. Have to say though I love the current temperature for a run, I think 11-15C is my optimal range. Much better than when it's in the 20s or above.

The paths have dried up, hardly any mud. The sun was shining. Mr Y is over the horrible cold that's knocked him out for 2 weeks. He kept to my pace instead of running ahead like he usually does. I think I act as the opposite of a pacemaker 😂

Maybe it was because he was with me but I ran a bit quicker than usual, or maybe it was just joie de vivre. I ran 3k then did a little bit more to bring the run to 30 minutes. It was great.

Pressed the stop button on the NRC app, nothing seemed to happen so I took a screen shot in case it was glitching again. Just as well, although it told me all my stats at the end and Coach B congratulated me on my run and told me I was a better athlete than when I started (funny he never says the opposite at the start of a run?) it isn't showing on the app.

Ah, technology is a wonderful thing, innit? 😂

Looks a lovely place to run 😊👍 I also prefer lower temperatures, in the summer I have to go out really early to avoid the heat!

We are so lucky to live a couple of minutes walk from all these lovely places!

Summer is a bit of a trial for me too.

What a lovely run, and this weather is lovely isn't it? I've been out a few times in shorts but not short sleeves yet

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I'm working my way to the shorts, but am in summer leggings They have the advantage of a pocket for my phone, might treat myself to some running shorts with pockets for my birthday.

Love my running shorts, phone in right pocket, sweets in left pocket and they've got a little inside the waist pocket for my door key 😀

I might treat myself to some new ones 😁

That looks lovely! I am enjoying the early spring sunshine too, although I think my favourite running temperature is around 4C! ❄️🤣 🤷‍♀️

I agree, cool is definitely better than hot
