W7R1 βœ… Next stop Munich

Had a lovely early run this morning to try to beat the heat. I do enjoy the longer runs. Even at 6.30 it was warming up and I completed the 25 minutes looking ....... πŸ… again. I think it’s my go-to colour. Other runners I see don’t appear to achieve my unique πŸ… shade it seems!

Onwards to Germany tomorrow. I have my next 3 runs planned, taking me to W8R1. After that it’ll be playing by ear, but one thing is for sure, if I have legs and there is a surface, I’ll find a way! I’d kind of like to run with my uber fit husband, but that would be soul destroying for me (or it would kill me and my slightly dodgy ankle), and it would bore the living daylights out of him. He wouldn’t even use the pace I run at as his pre warmup warmup! 😩

Anyway, I’m looking to running on hols, then all being well coming back for W9!!! I’m hoping for a shiny graduation badge! This is so exciting!

Happy running lovely runners! β€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈβ€οΈ

Enjoy München. Head south to Andechs monastery and try ein maß or zwei and a peeled giant radish with pretzel.

Wow thanks for the tips - it all sounds intriguing! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Well done on your run it was definitely a warm one 🌞 I headed out at 7 am and ran mostly on the coast road with 2 others which was lovely but the blazing hot sunshine makes you very sparkly very quickly πŸ˜‚ enjoy your holsπŸ‘

Thank you! Possibly warmer still down there, so no lie-ins for me on hols on my run days! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜€

Well done πŸ‘πŸ»

Enjoy Germany πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ 😊

I also have a very unique colour when running πŸ‘ and for some reason I get more sweaty after I stop, delayed shock I think πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Thank you! Yes I tend to break out in a sweat the moment I sit down in the car. I don’t tend to sweat profusely whilst running - I think you’re right, our bodies are so shocked we’ve made it that far, they save it all for afterwards!! πŸ˜…πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Fortunately I’m naturally a morning person, plus I’m not sure I’d make it if I had to run later in the day in this heat!

I fully intend to be a full on running tourist! See what kind of looks I get! πŸ˜…πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Well done πŸ‘. I love the early morning runs too. Not sure what I’m going to do when it’s dark in the morning as it’s my favourite time to run and there are of course fewer people to see my impression of a jet washed sun dried tomato which is what I end up looking like! Enjoy Germany πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

Love that description! πŸ…πŸ˜… It’s good to know that others turn tomatoesque!! I just haven’t met another such being in person.

Thanks, Germany should be fun! So glad it’s a run- friendly holiday otherwise what would I do?!! πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Well done so far! I'm a πŸ… too! Good for you planning out your runs on your hols. Have a wonderful time in lovely Munich & definitely reward yourself with a weißbier and pretzel in the evening!
