Week 1 Run 2 complete :)

[CookieM]

Waited until the "warmest" part of the day (mid afternoon) before setting off, and managed it ok

Main problem was with the podcast - it decided not start start at the beginning!! Fortunately I managed to find the start of the second run, walked to roughly where I started running last time and played from there - managing to find an extra 90 second walk/60 second run mid podcast once Laura said I had finished to ensure I actually did the correct number of runs. Grr. Have now deleted everything from my ipod and put the podcast on again, so hopefully next time it will work fine!

Tomorrow - off to Decathlon to get some clothes for when it gets colder!!

New running gear = 😍!!!!!! I have a jacket I never wore because even though I ran through last winter, once I got running for longer, I kept myself pretty warm! The most I needed was a long sleeved top with a short sleeved top over that. I greatly appreciated running socks (wear this all the time now), gloves, running hat and a neck warmer (which I can pull up over my ears and nose or mouth. For my birthday, bought a headtorch this year - so much fun running in the mornings when is dark and so peaceful!!

Got this lovely image of you all snugged up. running through the dark with your headtorch lighting up everything around you

[JoolieB1 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I think if my hands and neck are cosy, I feel comfortable. Running in the dark is way too much fun, I have a fantastic headtorch and it only cost twenty quid and it is rechargeable. Love all my running gear LOL (second childhood)!!

I have to have a warm head Maybe to keep what little brains I have warm... I love my gear too, I got my slightly warmer buffs out and have put them at the top of the pile in my drawer.. sad eh?

I never thought i would love the stuff so much, either ... I have been perusing the sales on some running gear sites, ready to stock up for next year!

[JoolieB1 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Me too! My running gloves are ok but would like something better, might get a flipbelt instead of my running belt, maybe a new hat 😍

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to JoolieB1]

It goes on...oooh just such fun🙂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Very well done..,despite technical hitches, you are on the way...

I have a winter wear jacket, which I wore this time last year,, very light and very comfy... Like JoolieB1 I am still in my short sleeved tee or if a tad chilly some mornings, long sleeved tee, with a short sleeved over the top currently.. plus my funky leggings...

[JoolieB1 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to JoolieB1]
