Out today for a lovely run what’s got in to me out at 9am on a Sunday much prefer to be in bed dogs got me up so took advantage. Well I ran today with just my music. First run I have not used Couch Laura so a very solo run. Loads of runners out there today most in the opposite direction must be doing something wrong. Another 10K achieved for November and more finished with just over 8 miles. A good warm down walk home, went home put coat on then went and walked dogs. Good running everyone.

Well done, nice to get out there bright and early when possible! I usually find it so hard to get out of bed though. 😂

Well done getting out so early! I don't often manage that, but always love it when I do.

Thanks Buddy34 felt good out there was in two minds whether to carry on or to call a halt there. Not sure if we will get such conditions to go again but thought best as previous best was 6.6 miles. Was still more left wasn’t at a stage I had to stop so very pleased.

Of course you can been consolidating for over 40 runs, had upped the last few to 3.5 to 4.0 miles with the odd 10k thrown in will drop back to 3 to 4 miles again Next week.

I managed my 1st 8 mile run on Sunday morning too...what has this running lark done to us!

Also I agree with your comment above...all those runners must have been doing something wrong going the wrong way 😆😉🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Always Sunday morning for me but not always early...love it when I do get out by or before 9 so the 1st hour is nice and quiet but it doesn't happen often, my blankets usually refuse to let me leave 😂😉

I know that feeling but dogs normally get me up around 8.30 to 9.00 too much to do to get out.
