W7R1 โœ… 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 ....... ๐Ÿ… again. I think itโ€™s my go-to colour. Other runners I see donโ€™t appear to achieve my unique ๐Ÿ… shade it seems!

Onwards to Germany tomorrow. I have my next 3 runs planned, taking me to W8R1. After that itโ€™ll be playing by ear, but one thing is for sure, if I have legs and there is a surface, Iโ€™ll find a way! Iโ€™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 wouldnโ€™t even use the pace I run at as his pre warmup warmup! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

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

Happy running lovely runners! โค๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธโค๏ธ

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

Wow thanks for the tips - it all sounds intriguing! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Well done on your run it was definitely a warm one ๐ŸŒž 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚ enjoy your hols๐Ÿ‘

Thank you! Possibly warmer still down there, so no lie-ins for me on hols on my run days! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜€

Well done ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Enjoy Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ˜Š

I also have a very unique colour when running ๐Ÿ‘ and for some reason I get more sweaty after I stop, delayed shock I think ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Thank you! Yes I tend to break out in a sweat the moment I sit down in the car. I donโ€™t tend to sweat profusely whilst running - I think youโ€™re right, our bodies are so shocked weโ€™ve made it that far, they save it all for afterwards!! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Fortunately Iโ€™m naturally a morning person, plus Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™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! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Well done ๐Ÿ‘. I love the early morning runs too. Not sure what Iโ€™m going to do when itโ€™s dark in the morning as itโ€™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 ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Love that description! ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ˜… Itโ€™s good to know that others turn tomatoesque!! I just havenโ€™t met another such being in person.

Thanks, Germany should be fun! So glad itโ€™s a run- friendly holiday otherwise what would I do?!! ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
