Colwyn Bay today!

I live in the Midlands where we are a bit short of beaches (!) so heading up to Colwyn bay for the day.... If anyone is there and sees a big red tomato panting along the beach at the speed of a snail, that'll be me doing W3R3!! (Guessing running on sand will be a lot tougher than my usual treadmill!). Happy running today, everyone!!

Well us Midlanders get very excited when we see the sea so I'm hoping the adrenaline will kick in and spur me on haha!! 🤣

Should imagine lovely place to run having driven past it so many times.

Hope it is not too soft.

But if it is, slower than your normal and enjoy.🌟👏👏

I love running on the beach- but I only run on firm hard sand. - It is hard work on your muscles. Go extra gently.

Have a wonderful day! 😃

My calves are aching just thinking about running on sand 😕 but as a midlander I can understand your excitement at getting to the seaside ... enjoy

Well that was a different experience! I did the 3 minute runs on the promenade and the rest on the hard sand. Lots of people smiling at me although that was probably more in pity / amusement than encouragement haha!! Roll on week 4.....!!! 🤣
