W8 R2 in daylight what a pleasure.

4 Replies

W8 R2 completed with a red face and lot of huff and puff at the end.

I ran the same route as Thursday, but this time at 7.30am. Daylight Yippee!.

I find that I tend to run a little faster in the day, it must be that there is a lot more to see, keeping my mind occupied. There was hardly any breeze today and it was around 4 degrees. It was a good run with lots of small boats and a couple of ships to look at. I tried to open up a little at the end but my body said, "Your going uphill your 59, act your age! "

I was blowing at the end but within a couple of minutes I felt fine.

I now weigh in at, 17 stone 10 pounds, so thats 33 pounds lost in 19 weeks so i'm pleased with that. 166 days till my target day.

60 = FSH. Fit Slim & Healthy.

I hope you all have a great run and a lovely weekend.

Big well dones to you on your run and for the weight loss! That's brilliant. And what a great goal for your big day.

I also think you're "acting your age" in the best possible way 🤗

Go you! The place I ran yesterday is somewhere I normally run only after dark. It was very odd to be there in the daylight.

Thanks, Maddee.

You see so many more things in daylight. On the other hand at 4am I saw a lovely Fox standing by a jetty. That wouldn't happen in daylight. All the best.
