4k run planned before work...

Parcel arrived today. An Adidas Adizero rain jacket (50% off). Parcel coming later in the week, Under Armor running gloves (about 30% off).

You can’t be too careful with the weather.

Who's the little optimist then? :-)

Just acknowledging the inevitable and wanting to ensure I can keep running. Total madness.

Where did you get the rain jacket. Mine is useless. It's like being wrapped in Clingfilm...

Adidas online store.

Hi Jay, yes I’ll be out early in the morning too. I’ve scouted our my route round the local park on holiday in Leicestershire, then I’m aiming to get back to the B&B for a hearty breakfast 🍳🥓 😋

That should set me up for the day 😂🤣

Good luck mate.

I’ll be asking for running gear for my birthday in couple of months. Who’d have thought I’d be doing that prior to starting C25K? 😳

I know. And there is so much kit to collect. And then all the different colours. 🤣🤣🤣

Phew! You'll get a tad warm wearing those in the heatwave!😁

I've just bought a full zipped running hoodie from up and running in the sale £70 down to £42...

I’ll be up and at ‘em around 6am tomorrow, I think. I’ll just go where the mood takes me for however long....I’m definitely slower in this weather but I’m just loving my early morning runs.... followed by breakfast outside in the garden. Bliss!! And such a great feeling to set you up for the day! Can’t believe this weather. ☀️ 😎

Me too Jay! I’ve been out and walked my route for W7R1 tomorrow morning! I’m close to the cliffs, so I’m not able to run by the sea from where I am. I do have a long quiet road nearby with some amazing views! It took about 25 minutes to walk to the end of the road, so I’ll have to decide a turn around point during my run. From petrified to run outside to planning a road route abroad 😱! What has happened to us? 😁 Have a great run! ❤️

Ooh where have you jetted off to?

Enjoy your exotic run.

I’m in Guernsey Jay! For work, but hey.....it’s sort of like being on holiday! Beautiful place! ❤️

You might not want it so much in the winter months! The Island is always beautiful, but getting on and off the Island is pretty chaotic in winter! I do consider myself very lucky to be coming here though. 😁❤️

Oh you lucky thing I love Guernsey it’s beautiful... have a lovely run x

Oh it is Bridget! Thank you, I love it! But I like home too, so I’ve really got the best of both at the moment! Long may it continue! 😁❤️

I’m just not a morning person! The thought of getting up at 5.30 to get into work on time.... 😴😩

Jay66UK profile image
Jay66UKGraduate in reply toCrittermad

I think 6am is as early as I could do and I’m not sure I’ll do that tomorrow!

Raincoat and gloves 🤣 you're prepared that's for sure x

My abiding memories from the first few weeks are cold hands and sweating inside a cycling coat that is made like a supermarket bag for life!

Long sleeve sweat wicking tee shirt + running jacket to keep the wind out and you are ready to go.

Just so you know... I used to and am planning to run in anything up to -10 Celsius this winter. So no wimping out, I can do it and I'm a girl!
