Raising my trainer game πŸ™Œ

Just had my first post graduation run, in my awesome new trainers! πŸ‘Ÿ

Sooooo comfy! Definitely a treat for the feet!

Adidas ultra boost... & give me a boost they did😍

Eventful run, later in the day than I’d planned, so had to brave the dark... really must make an effort to man up about this situation, dark nights are here to stay πŸ™†β€β™€οΈ

My phone also messed up my app, so I just free styled (which I quite enjoyed)

... & I had loads of amazing fireworks to watch as I ran around the streets βœ¨πŸŒ™

All in all a good run, happy feet & pizza for tea... winning! πŸ™ŒπŸ€©πŸ‘Œ

It was good to be out again! πŸ™Œ

... & the pizza was delicious πŸ˜‹

Wow 😲 they are proper snazzzy Dreams! 🌈

They look dead soft and comfy ☁️☁️

Thanks Thundersloth,

They’re definitely a bit snazzier than my usual footwear... proper comfy tho! Felt light as a feather πŸ™ŒπŸ‘Œ

Yeah, you should definitely see if you can try a run with the fireworks πŸ’₯πŸ™Œ

We’ve just finished our pizza, hope yours was as good as ours πŸ˜‹πŸ•

in reply to

I think I ate way too much pizza Dreams...

I feel like a right bloater... 🐑

BUT I did once listen to a running podcast with the Scottish mountain runner Robbie Simpson, and he said he’s had some of his best runs after eating pizza πŸ•

...So it’s looking pretty good for my run tomorrow morning 🀣πŸ€ͺ ...think I might go for the 5.5K did you do the 5K today? I know you did have to wing it a bit on yours πŸ’¨β˜οΈ

in reply to

How did the pizza fuelled run go? ... or are you saving it for later? πŸ•πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

I think you’re in good company, if it’s good enough for a Scottish mountain runner! πŸ’ͺπŸ˜†

Did you go for the 5.5? 🀩

I went for the 2.5k interval run... I started off with a Nike run club guided one, but messed up by accidentally stopping it somehow πŸ™ˆ I ran for 20mins which I think would’ve been about right πŸ™Œ ... I’m definitely doing the 5.5 next! πŸ€©πŸ™ŒπŸ‘Œ

in reply to

Yeah really good ta! Did the 5.5 went well - just going to write a post over some coffee β˜•οΈ

Did have a couple of issues with Siri coming on and pausing the Nike app 😠 is that what happened to yours Dreams? It did the Siri beep thing... and paused the workout 🀬 anyway managed to get back before the rains ...Sunday morning win πŸ‘

in reply to

Amazing!πŸ’ͺ I’ll make myself a brew & await your post! I’m sure it’ll be an awesome read as always! β˜•οΈπŸ“–πŸ‘Œ

Ah, bet you’ve fallen out with Siri!😳 ... Id love to blame mine on that, but no, I managed to do it all by myself πŸ™„πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Glad you got back before the rain! πŸ™Œ

Brilliant, well done. I haven’t braved the dark yet, but I suppose it will have to come in the next few months. Great shoes!

in reply to Sandie1961

Thanks Sandie, I’m not keen on the dark, it’s so... dark & the streets are so uneven πŸ™ˆ I’m sure we’ll get used to it tho! 🀩

It messes with my usual route, as it’s not well lit & has a few off road wooded areas. I stuck to residential roads with street lights tonight & it was ok, there was just one small cutting I had to nip through & I flew down it like Usain Bolt πŸ€£πŸ‘Œ
