Unintended parkrun.

[AnneDroid]

I was enjoying a long lie this morning, having decided not to do parkrun. Then suddenly, at 8.55am, I was wide awake and wanting to... parkrun! Cue mad hurry to get ready but made it just in time. Very cold, still no sign of cracking 30 minutes (31: 43 this morning - haven't even had a PB for ages), but now feeling so much better for having run than I would have for having lain in bed. After the run some of us went to a nearby cafe for brunch, which is becoming a nice habit.

Thought for the day has been that running sometimes makes you do life backwards. Rather than: get washed, get breakfast, go out, I went out, then got breakfast, then got washed. Not the profoundest of thoughts but my brain has frostbite...

I am soooo jealous!

But good on you for having a reverse morning😀

Sadly I was the other way round😞 I really was looking forward to my park run, cracking day here - but decided I ought to try & beat this cold. Not like me to be so sensible, but it wasn't worth listening to my DH, if I had done it.

Oh poor you. Get well soon. x

Other way round here...awake at 6am. Cup of tea. Few more minutes before I get up....next stop 8.45 - parkrun 15 minutes drive an not much parking.... maybe next week 😂

Did get out for a little 5k along the canal though. Not literally, but almost possible 😳

Along a canal - not literally - sounds lovely. I must find one and try it.

Congratulations Anne! That's a brilliant thought, brain freeze or no! Out of interest, what was the temperature out there this morning? 😀😀👏🏻👏🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻💪🏻💪🏻

CHILLY!! It was about zero to two degrees. I still managed to get hot by the end of course. One lady pointed out that her beanie hat had frost on it at the end of her run!
