A parting of the ways for W&S

[SueAppleRun]

but only in the running world.....

My day off so we had a lovely lay in, tea in bed and me reading posts on here, the rain was threatening so we thought we better get a move on before it puts us off.

I did suggest the beach but with the howling wind and lashing rain that didn’t go down well so we headed to the park

at two and a half k I threw my hat on the bonnet of the car as i jogged past, at three k i put my glasses in my pocket and sent up a quick prayer to St Jude that i didn’t lose them.Then it got really interesting as i have double vision,

Willow stuck to the track I did figures of eight and ran round the grass to make it a bit longer so we passed each other on the way round and blew kisses

At three and a half k the rain came down and Willow headed for the car but i wanted to cover four k so carried on and the next time i passed the car it was over four so i decided might as well run five and the last k was my fastest at 8.45 so i felt high and happy

Willow said i’m mad but i said it’s probably my only run this week so i wanted it to be a good one

now it’s time for a hot bath and christmas shopping

Thank you my fellow runners for encouraging and inspiring me to run

Oh and my time? 46mins19seconds my fastest 5k

That sounds like a perfect morning’s run. Well done on the Pb. The glow will help in the shops I’m sure. It’s getting busy out there. 🎄👏🏃🏻‍♀️

[Buddy34 Graduate]

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Congratulations on your fastest 5k

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

[Grannyhugs Graduate]

Brilliant effort both of you, nice to mix up the runs. Enjoy Christmas shopping

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thank you we did

[59er Graduate]

Brave you! I ran yesterday (thankfully) it was bright and calm. Today, it's way too wet and windy. Congrats on your time too - I bet you felt good after that and rightly so!

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to 59er]

Thank you I still feel good, yesterday was lovely for running but i was shattered after work

[apatsyf Graduate]

Yes definitely mad, but aren't runners all a bit mad (in a good way) ...... and don't we have fun? I have pictures of your figures of 8, 👀without glasses 😂. Sounds a great run and the park, not beach, very wise on a day like today. 🌊

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to apatsyf]

The seafront would have been horrible the park is surrounded by trees so quite sheltered

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

You did very well Sola, you were brave enough to complete the 5K when Willow found the going a bit hard when the rain ☔ came on, onwards and upwards 🏃🏾 👍 congratulations also on getting a PB, it won't be long before you get a sub 45 minutes 5k. 😊 🏃🏾

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

My problem was i wanted to keep running and get 6 k but thought Willow would get cold waiting, i have always run a bit but this is the first time i followed a programme and joined a forum which has spurred me on loads

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

👍 🏃🏾

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Well done both! Think you made the right decision on avoiding the seafront - it’s been pretty wild here in Southsea today as well!

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Very wild here, and the park was lovely, i met a few lovely dogs and their owners cheered me on
