Happy running in the sun! ☀️

Today I did not want to go out for a run. I had a horrendous run on Monday night every bit from start to finish was just difficult. So I gave myself an extra few days off, but then the thought of going out today just did not appeal to me. However the suns shining and I read a few posts on here and seen all your pictures out in the sun so off I went! (After procrastinating for long enough). I decided I would just go for a slow run today, not worry about time or pace just a nice run to take in the scenery. I wanted to run parts of my local park run so off I went but I turned the wrong way and instead hit lots of hills which had me seeking a different path. I got a little bit lost and ended up a long way from home by the time I’d finished. (I had a good 20mins walk home). Yet I did it! I shaved 31seconds off my park run time last Saturday and I carried on to do an extra 0.5k. (I stopped Strava at 5k for timing and then restarted for the extra 0.5). Now I feel great and I’m off to buy new running clothes as I’m in desperate need! Happy running in the sun everybody!

Glad you enjoyed your lunch time run today, good time, but I notice that you burned 0 calories, that must be a error.

Yes all my starva reports always come up 0 calories. I looked it up online and lots of people are having the same problem with the app. As long as the distance and time syncs I’m happy with that!

Yea, different apps are so far apart with calorie calculations they are almost not worth looking at. Between my Garmin, Strava and Samsung Health they never agree! 🤣😂
