Yes Nat did, and I am off out later

I did venture out twice to walk the dog. He loves lousy weather 🙄 🐶

I braved her...but I avoided her in the morning because she was rather scary...by the afternoon she had calmed down a little. I spent over 2 hours in the gym and when I came out it was chucking it down and it was still windy but not as bad as the morning - still got drenched though!!! I'm back at home with my beautiful fur babies and a hot bath running. :)

You're staying indoors wearing PJs sounds rather lovely though! :D

Sazkia :)

I went out, complete with brand new running tights, and as soon as I discovered how windy it was I decided to cut things a bit shorter - so I did about 22 minutes rather than the full 30 of Stepping Stone.... still felt good though!

Ive just come back , it wasn't too blowy , but I took it very steady as there was lots of twigs and mud on the path .

I ended up taking my thin jacket off as I was too hot , so ended up running in short sleeves and my leggings .

I was truly going to go out tonight, but Mr Rainbow persuaded me not to. I've got a cold, so the wet and wind would not be a helpful combination. Tomorrow...!

I was out there Pops! Overdressed as it happens. Doh! Enjoyed it though. Came home to a curry I wisely prepared earlier, with a great big naan bread from the corner shop. Lovely jubbly.

I just KNEW you would be out there Sonia ! :-) Miss Wobble might fall over , but she dont stay down :-D

Funnily enough, I thought about you on my run when I was picking my way through the broken branches and twigs and little piles of mud on the paths. So easy to catch your foot in them and then Whoops , there she goes ! :-) xxx

Swanky party! I have checked out where the hotel is in relation to Parkrun tomorrow. On the same road five miles away. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ I could get there and back while OH has has full English 🥓🍳

Hopefully I can get into routine of planning exercise in advance now my pops may be moving care homes and will take my c25k times to usual instead of half way as it is not far the one they will assess him for so fingers crossed.
