A Goldilocks run πŸ˜‰

What a wet start to the day and I felt more restless as the day wore on, so by the time midday came, I decided to just get out there as the wind got wilder and wilder!

Went inland to get some shelter and was going to do some dynamic exercises after warm up so looped round via the park but it was so muddy, huge puddles, tufty grass, and everything not right just like Goldilocks so abandoned that and just ran and ran and ran.

Onlookers must have thought I was a nutter, zigzagging around the park and as I emerged up a bank to the prom ran into friends battling into wind, and peering at this demented mud spattered apparition. No attempt could be made at coolness or composure.

I so enjoyed myself and ran all the way home 🏑. Trainers are looking trashed however. Oh I love πŸ’“ this running lark πŸ‘

You have painted such a great story of your run. Glad the Three Bears didn't come and spoil it! πŸ€—πŸŒ¬πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ

That would really have spooked me!! Bad enough the loose dogs looking for a bit of sport. 🀣

Thank you 😊. It was a reluctant start but once I pulled on the kit, it felt good to launch out into the gale. I am still in disbelief that I am so hooked!

Me too! I waver sometimes, and then the guilt kicks in, so I go out and do it, and then super chuffed. What has happened to us?

🀣It must be down to the feel good endorphins! I read an interesting article yesterday about exercise and the brain 🧠 but will need to dig out the link . Super chuffed- I like that!

Great fun and the view looked better than me by the time I took the pic! The wind is still howling as I write. Accuweather says gusting to 84kms πŸ’¨πŸŒŠ!

TrIners will dry and mud will bash off but you will never lose the pride of being able to run and that’s very cool

Trainers are drying and being able to run is cool! I like that thought!

Every time you see someone running along it’s a great feeling that you can too

And i didn’t even mention the 3 inches that disappeared from my waist over a couple of months that is still gone

Sounds like you had a really enjoyable run.

Thanks Mig. I love the view especially the big waves 🌊 and it lifts the spirit- I don’t ever forget to be grateful. That’s a bit zen sounding but coupled with running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ there is nothing better yaaaay 😎

Maybe Adrienne’s yoga πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ is rubbing off on me! Another addictive pastime 🀣

We postponed a trip to Bristol that was due today for next Saturday as it wasn't very nice today and at first I was disappointed but now I am ok about it.

I went out for my walk at 4pm today where it was windy and a couple of showers but I was fine.

That’s a great attitude to accept the day as it unfolds. Another day dawns tomorrow with new possibilities 😊

Well done in taking on the weather. Just about to set out on my run this morning and it's wild out there. Hope I enjoy it as much as you did! If there's porridge when I get back that would be lovely πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Good luck on your run πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ and it’s certainly sunnier where I am- hope it’s the same for you. Go enjoy it and you’ll be ready for that porridge! I love porridge too especially with extra bits πŸ˜‹

Nothing like a good blowy blustery run to get rid of the cobwebs πŸ˜„. Love the photo

The path on edge of the park had huge puddles that I couldn’t avoid unless I leapt into the brambles! The grass was a quagmire. I love your determination too! Go girl πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘
