Penultimate run in the bag

[Crittermad]

Didn’t run until 8pm tonight but it was still 27 degrees here, pre-empted oldfloss advice and took it slow and steady.

My friend came with me, we went along the trail by the river - out and back - so no lap counting, and it was fine. We were in the shade and apart from the midges and bike riders who don’t seem to be able to ride on grass and expect runners to step off the path it was uneventful.

We planned our trip to the spa at the end of the month, caught up on her holiday plans and the time passed without the gremlins playing up - think they were too hot to bother! I even told her about farteleking (or whatever it’s called - she visibly perked up at that (she likes speed))

Including the warm up/warm down walks we did 4.6km.

I’m feeling a little guilty as I really could have pushed it more, it was no way as awful as previous runs - but it was hot, I was trying to control my friends speed and there’s plenty time for that when it’s cooler. I was back at my week 7 speed.

Perhaps we will agree not to talk so much Wednesday 😜 I will unleash my pace maker!

Very well done..so very hot at the moment..phew xx

It was! Luckily we had a bit of a breeze which helped, so not as humid as it was yesterday

Well done! Sounds like a lovely sociable run 😊

I find if I’m distracted the time goes quicker - didn’t even notice the 10 mins left notification. Good to catch up so it’s win-win 😀

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to Crittermad]

I need a run buddy!

Sounds like the perfect run for this weather. I’d keep to this style until the weather breaks. Enjoy the next one.

That's so nice to have a friend to run with. I loved your post, it sounded like a relaxed run.

Don't you just hate those knuckle dragging cyclists, I mean the ones when you step out of the way they don't even bother to say thanks! Grrr...

I hope your graduation run will be as nice as this one and you encounter only respectful cyclists. Good luck.

[Crittermad Graduate in reply to Goforitmama]

Thank you! I think it was my best run so far.

I especially like the riders who are all geared up for off roading on a mountain bike but seem scared to leave the concrete 🙄😂

Lol

Thanks a lot - it’s hard to believe it’s almost here!

Ignoring the twat above.... kwang whaeva....

Very well done, we’ll cross together on Wednesday! I can’t believe it’s here already! It seemed like such a stretch 9 weeks ago! X

[Tinker5393 Graduate in reply to LoungeLizaard]

Nothing to so with running. Just having a browse . Loving the twat word one of my fave insult words

Ho ho

[sallenson Graduate in reply to LoungeLizaard]

Oooh, did I miss something?....

[LoungeLizaard Graduate in reply to sallenson]

Just some random post on this thread that was offering ‘male’ surgery and various other unsavoury things - I reported it and it’s been removed now

[sallenson Graduate in reply to LoungeLizaard]

Blurghhh. It's rare to have that sort of nonsense. Disgruntled cyclist?

[Crittermad Graduate in reply to LoungeLizaard]

Yeah Kwang - I reported him so he’s been deleted !????

Hope tomorrow is a perfect run for you - keep hydrating!

[Tinker5393 Graduate]

Well done. It's always good to have a running buddy .

[sallenson Graduate]

Well done, hon. Sounded a lovely relaxed outing. And a chat too. Nice one xx
