So hot in my Cool Towel!! My fastest run!! How????🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🐌🐌🐌🐌

[Ang33333]

Sister couldn't run tonight. So solo run on the railway line with husband following with his binoculars. He's a bird watcher. Was so so so hot. Mid twenties at 8.45pm. I had two of my lovely new cool towels with me. One around my neck and down my back and one for general mopping of sweat! They really are very cool! Been wearing one all day in different ways to see which works best.

So I set off intending to do just 20 mins as I could barely breathe in the hot horrid air. And went off really fast for me and kept going for the 20 mins! Did 2.5km and am pleased I can run a bit faster if I want to. No way I could sustain that pace for 5k though! A one off!! I'm a snail by choice. I didn't feel I could look around and enjoy the run....

The cool towels stayed cool. They kept my neck cool and I ended up with the other one on my head! As long as they are wet they are cool!

The price has dropped again on Amazon. Ordered three more yesterday for my mum! Bargain!!

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Wow excellent! I’ll have to try mine out in that way rather than just to mop up my sweat!

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

I would like to wear one like a headband but I've got slippery hair! Nothing stays on!! 😅

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

Could you clip it on hair grips? More like an Alice band maybe?

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

The clips will slip! Always been a problem. Slippery hair!

[Mimirossi Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

I have exactly that problem with my hair! I understand!

Well done for getting out at all in this heat Ang, you did really well. Loving the towel, I like the lime green look! I’m going to check them out on Amazon 😎💦👏😊

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to owmeknees]

Less than £2 for 3 last night. 😎😎

[Jelon Graduate]

Well done you and great that the towels did a good job-definitely a bargain! 👍🏻

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Jelon]

Even cheaper now. They really do stay cool! Will experiment with the best place to use them!! 😀

[Dralimc Graduate]

Fantastic! Glad they worked for you. You look cool! 😎

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Dralimc]

Photo is deceptive. Plenty of sweat and a red face! 🤪🤪

[18Windmill Graduate]

Very fetching in green my dear! Well done for getting out at all this week...soooo hot!! So extra kudos for your speed. Have my towels for camping trip. Xxx

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to 18Windmill]

They will be great. Husband has nabbed one for himself for using when he's on the shooting range. Said today it stayed cold for almost 2 hours. Have ordered a purple one too! I like purple ! 😀

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Designbod]

I know! Six months ago I would have laughed at anyone running in this temperature! 🤪🤪

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Designbod]

They are v cheap on Amazon

[Fabulous450 Graduate]

Fantastic Ang! Yes, I think I’ll have to order one too! It’s definitely the rage and today, I’d have loved to have had one! Brilliant run for you!! 👏🏽👏🏽❤️

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Thanks! Very cheap! 😅

[Equi-geek Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

I’ll try to remember to bring one along tomorrow, Fabulous, for you to have a look at 👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Equi-geek]

Lol If I make it there, I might run off with it! 😉🤣🤣❤️

[Flaraflarkin Graduate]

Wow Ang33333 ~ what a great pic! And you went faster! 😱 In this heat!!? 😱 Incredible, well done you!! And another thumbs up for the ice towels Yay!!! 🙌😬

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

😅😅😅😅

[Pippayoungart Graduate]

Oooh i feel i’m coming late to this towel party .... cool towels??! Can you explain?!

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Pippayoungart]

Very thin micro towels. You soak them in cold water, ring them out and then as long as they stay wet , by some magic they stay cool. Lovely on a hot day! Very cheap on Amazon! 😀😀😀

[Pippayoungart Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

Oh interesting! Are they a thing? Or is it your own invention - an alternative use for an ordinary towel?

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Pippayoungart]

Dralimc on here bought one. They are cheap and seem to work. A few people seem to have bought them too!! 😅😅

[Hally870924]

The cool towel sounds great just looked on amazon. There are lots. Any particular recommendations? Went for my 2nd run today. Went early so it was cooler. Much better

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Hally870924]

They were £2.95 when I got them. Down to £1.95 now !

[Curlygurly2 Graduate]

OOh! I'm in the South of France and need this! I've seen them on Amazon, 3 for around £7, is that what you got?

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

These were £2.95. Cheaper than that now!

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

I found one that would ship to France, it should be here next week, I'll keep you posted! Thank you!
