You know you're obsessed when...

[Pianism]

... the first bit of packing you do for your hols looks like this!

And I like to think of myself as a minimalist runner!

[primaballerina]

Oh - you are so tidy Pianism!

[Pianism Graduate in reply to primaballerina]

Not usually...

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

No, no, no! This is absolutely the RIGHT way to pack...isn't it?🙂 Have a lovely holiday!

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

I can buy everything else when I'm there... this stuff is mandatory though!

So definitely the right way to pack.

[Meedeb Graduate]

Brilliant 😂 have a good one.

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Meedeb]

Thank you

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Oh yes.... my running case gets packed first every time.... and I already have my set at the holiday home on the coast anyway!! Go you!

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you. Haven't run at the coast yet so looking forward to that immensely. I was born to be by the sea... just haven't found a way to engineer that yet.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Pianism]

We need to sort it..hopefully getting some of the other Tourist park runners to try to head out there..Park Run at Pwhelli!

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Ooh, I'll be making an effort to do that one at some point. 100 miles each way is a bit far on a whim... will have to plan a little overnight stay.

[Katnap Graduate]

Do you have watch straps to match the colour of your blue t-shirt?

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Katnap]

Lol no. I bought the watch a long time before I heard of the apricot tee-shirt.

[mrrun Graduate in reply to Katnap]

And where is the hat? And what about the shades? Shocking omissions, shocking!

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to mrrun]

Oh yes, hat, visor, sunscream, rain jacket...

[Pianism Graduate in reply to mrrun]

Lol. I don't even run it a hat when it's minus 10! My normal glasses are react-a-light.

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Visor... hmmm... perhaps a shopping trip is in order.

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Pianism]

How can you run in rain with glasses if you don’t have a hat or visor? My glasses would get too splattered to see through. Tell me your secret!

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

I take them off and hope there are no trees!

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Pianism]

🤣

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to Katnap]

Oh I only just spotted it!

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

What?

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to Pianism]

The watch!

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

Ah

[Hidden]

Oh Pianism, I love that you have bags for your running shoes!! You are sooo organised! have a fab time.

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Hidden]

You have to have bags for your shoes! Otherwise how do you keep the dirt from getting on your clothes?? Haha

[BaddieThePirate Graduate]

Ace, have a great holiday. I'm saving my fav running gear and fav pjs for my trip to Ireland. The rest I'll chuck in at the last minute 😄

[Pianism Graduate in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thank you

[TailChaser Graduate]

Nice apricot! I just got that copy of Runners World: have you checked out Ronnie O’Sullivan’s prawn salad? I really want to make that. Never thought I’d be regularly buying a magazine again.

Have a great holiday 😀

[Pianism Graduate in reply to TailChaser]

Am saving that for the long train journey...

[Couchpotato2 Graduate]

The new shoes top right I think... lovely! Also what are the three black things under the belt, I dont have them and may need them urgently... great packing, looking forward to hearing about your trip

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

Hahaha! Wrist sweat band, arm pocket (to keep keys away from mobile phone) and head band (aka swimming cap!).

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Aha, all great ideas 💡 and you are going to the beach after all, need to keep your hair dry...

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

I do... I always leave it at home!

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Haha 😂

[SaskAlliecat Graduate]

That’s a lot more minimal than me 🤣. Have a great holiday, enjoy your tourism running, and make sure to come back and tell us all about it with some pics (it is the only way I’ll get to see these great places you guys get to run - yup, I may be a little jealous 😊)

[Pianism Graduate in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Yes, well the average rock band tour is more minimal than you by all accounts lol!!

There will be piccies and run reports... no-one else understands like you guys.

[Granspeed Graduate]

Have fun. 🎉 Enjoy Poole Park Run. And there is a lovely, long level promenade at Bournemouth where my daughter ran a 10k recently. She said it was splendid for running.

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

Thank you. Yes, that's where I'm planning to do my first 10k. Down to Sandbanks and back again. Completely coincidentally the route ends at Harry Ramsden's!!

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Oh, what a surprise 🤣👍

[Debston Graduate]

Who needs anything else? Lol!

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Debston]

Just shower gel and a toothbrush.

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Well, and running shorts but they were in the wash...

[Jogunlikely Graduate]

Have a great time x 🌴☀️

Sad but i am a great advocate of shoe bags. Only discovered them 2 years ago but won't travel without them now and got ridiculously excited when I got a free one at the gym last month 🤦‍♀️

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

Thank you. I need a couple more. Mine were free from Fossil and they are really goo ones.
