CR 2 - a brief debrief tonight :)

[Jogunlikely]

New running shorts arrived yesterday so gave them a test run this evening. They are cycling short length for runners so cover that unflattering flabby inner thigh bit and don't slide up your leg in an unseemly way 😂 so thumbs up to my new ronhills 👍

Once aging set out with no plan. During my 5 min warm up I was passed by 2 gazelles who turned off onto the field in front of me. Haha, new route time! So not having a clue where I would end up I just followed the farm track. Did a lovely loop through some fields, dropped onto the cycle path then into the back of the estate. I've never been round that bit either so had a magical mystery tour.

Ended up near the shop, bought milk and pain au chocolate (it was marked down to 24p for 2, how could I not!!! 😂) then walked home for my cool down.

Prob 25 mins of running so happy with that. I'll put the app back on at the weekend to get me back up to 30 mins.

In the meantime happy running folks xxx

Good sleuthing this evening Jog, first a new trail, and then bargain croissants! You have Skills!

[Debston Graduate]

Looks like a beautiful evening for a run! Not sure if I am brave enough for shorts yet but felt the heat today so might have to ditch the leggings and bare my old legs... Very envious of your bargainous choc pains, a well deserved reward!

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Debston]

Try capris, if you haven’t already. I got some marked specially for hot weather and they are much cooler than full leggings.

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

I now have running legs of every length 😂 almost as many as riding breeches!

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

Oh yes, new activity = new gear! 👍🎉

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Debston]

Choc pain was yum 😋 am trying very hard to save the other one for tomoz

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Debston]

I failed 🤷‍♀️😋

[Debston Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

😂 It would have gone stale anyway.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Nice running... well deserved treat at the end too! Enjoy that 30 minute run

[Pianism Graduate]

Happy running to you too! That looks a lovely part of the world to run, and your weather was a lot better than ours today.

[Lindsey-joy Graduate]

You do make me chuckle! Sounds like a lovely magical mystery tour and the Pain au Chocolat was meant to be! Hurrah for the Gazelles! 😂

[JuJogger Graduate]

Great that you are keeping it up! My shorts are knee length Karrimors. Public would freak if the cellulite flappers were on view 🤣😂

[nif100 Graduate]

I have lots of gazelles where I run. They overtake me whisk of into the distance and then later come back the other way having run another 3 miles or so by then without a bead of sweat or looking the least bit out of breath...oh to be young again.

Loved reading about your off piste run, it is a lovely way to pass the minutes and a nice choccie treat at the end too....perfect

[Katnap Graduate]

Is that East Grinstead temple? It were a bit warm down your way! Happy running!

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Katnap]

Chichester cathedral cloaked in its scaffolding. I think they are repairing the roof.

Was a tad warm this evening but a good stiff breeze made the field section a joy

[Katnap Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

Ah.... yes. The scaffolding tricked me!

[notquiteretired Graduate]

sounds like a perfect outing, exploring new trails, new togs to wear and bargain choc treats 😊👍

[Wimborne]

I like the mystery run..... and I know I should talk about running but 24p for 2 and you only bought 2? That’s sheer willpower and strength. Happy weekend JU.

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Wimborne]

Haha they only had two

[Wimborne in reply to Jogunlikely]

Well that makes perfect sense now 😂

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

All that and time to take a pic of Chichester Cathedral! Well done you! Like the sound of the leggings, I know I should probably get something cooler for summer but I’m really afraid of scaring the children (and everyone else!) if I go out with legs on view....😱

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

They only show from my knees down 😉 I would happily scare the children 🤣🤣🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]
