Cool weather run, yippee!!!

I got back from Orlando this morning, thanks to the family in the seats behind me I only got about 2 hours sleep.

Drove home from Manchester Airport, made Mrs LeeU a coffee and not long later we were kitted up and ready to head out.

Mrs LeeU suggested the canal tow path again, she likes judging the distance by the bridges and locks.

Due to the cold weather her asthma was playing up again, she's not happy with how the run went but I was happy to be able to breathe when running after the heat and humidity earlier in the week.

I'm now going to shower, go and buy another washing machine as ours packed in while I was away and try to stay awake as long as I can.

Happy running everyone.

Thank you, it was a good run.

Well done! I’m not sure I could have got out there after such a journey; you’re amazing!

I had been promising that I would go out for a run when I got back, I like to try to stick to what I say I'll do.

Plus, I needed to run again this week to make it 3 runs.

You certainly get about a bit LeeU! Well done on getting your running gear on as soon as you got off that flight - very impressive! Happy washing machine shopping!

Hopefully that will be the last overseas trip this year but, if I project comes up and it means I'm need to go, then I need to go.

I'm very good at shopping, I knew what washing machine I wanted to get, so I drove down to one of the retailers and bought it. I've just installed it and it's washing it's first load as I type.

Great to have you back in the UK, LeeU.

Hope Mrs LeeU manages her running with the asthma . 😊😊

Thanks, it did cause her to miss the full time this morning, she's up to week 8 run 2, she's going to re-do it, if it's still cold she's going to do it on the treadmill I think.

Well done! Great to be home eh? Dontcha just love flying? 🤣🤣 we were thinking on our last flight, why aren't adult only flights offered, a lot of folk would pay extra for a bit of peace! 🤣

It normally doesn't bother me, to be honest the woman behind me did like the fact I'd reclined the seat to get some sleep so she was pounding on the touchscreen in the seat back. I can deal with kids crying, etc, I can switch off but what she was doing was annoying.

Oh yes, a nice bit of passive aggressive sulking! 🤣🤣 crazy, on a long flight reclining is to be expected, not like you were just popping over the channel!

Welcome home and great effort getting out for that run straight away. You will hopefully sleep like a baby tonight.

I slept quite well, one thing I didn't put in the above was that I also had toothache, went to the dentist today and ended up having root canal treatment.
