It's getting colder

7 Replies

Not run for a few days. Missed my Park run yesterday but I was learning to make cheese. So 7.30 this morning I set out and there was a real chill in the air. Was glad I had bought new slightly longer leggings but I am going to need long sleeve tops before long. This is a new experience as for most of my C25k journey my main concern was heat stroke.

Today's most interesting wildlife was squirrels but the birdsong was lovely and made me glad I wasn't listening to podcasts.

Happy running everyone.

Yes there is definitely an autumnal feel to the air now

Yes, I also noticed it yesterday when I went for my first run back home after my holiday. It was really sunny but it was a 'mellow' sunny, didn't feel hot at all. Only a couple of weeks ago it would have been a completely different story. Love autumn but not looking forward to the shorter days - I'll have to change my route and start running in town to avoid running in the dark!

I love that first sentence ... what a brilliant reason for not doing a park run! It's definitely getting cooler in the mornings and the heavy dew soaks right through my trainers on grass now. But it has a kind of 'good to be alive' feel to it, I love this time of year.

Just what I was thinking-cheese making my?! Was it good?

Really good. Recommend it. Wildes cheese if you are near London.

How did the cheese making go? Hope the running didn't get in the way.

Loved the cheese making. If you are near London I would recommend Wildes cheese one day course. Not cheap - mine was a present. Several runners on the course all saying how we would need to run to burn off the calories of all the cheese tasting we did.
