I've missed a lot running in the dark 🌚

-2Β°C today, so I made a couple of concessions, a headband under my beanie, and a tee shirt under my long sleeved running top.

I saw a few golfers, and they looked a bit overdressed to me, I wondered how they could walk, let alone swing a club πŸŒοΈβ€β™€οΈβ›³.

Then again I don't know what they made of my get up (graffiti leggings today 😁)

The high winds have stopped, hopefully for a while, and that made a big difference.

The aim was 30 minutes, I did 35 but felt that I had at least another 10 in me, I'll save that for Sunday!

If the gremlins have got hold, shake them off, it's gorgeous out there today🌞🀩🌞

Thanks lexi, looking forward to it, but rain is forecast 🌧, still if I didn't run on rainy days I'd hardly ever go 😁

Well done, Jell6. I can see wearing less may make me move faster. You must be hardy. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘Throw the gremlims in the rough and off we go.

Well I wasn't always, this is something that has developed since I started running. Prior to that I was a delicate doily πŸ˜…

Love the idea of chucking gremlins into rough and bunkers!

Sounds like it was a great run and you got some great photos! The graffiti leggings sound like fun too.

Well, not always enjoyable, but I'm trying to add a bit of distance again, aiming to maybe do 1 longer run per week, but I'm not putting any pressure on myself 😊, runs like this morning are lovely though.

It has been such a good day and there was a bit of warmth in the sun, what a beautiful place to run, I love seeing all the different places people run

Jell6Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun

I like seeing other people's runs too, I envy the coastal ones!πŸŒŠβ›΅

SueAppleRun profile image
SueAppleRunGraduate in reply to Jell6

We’ve missed the coast during various storms that have made it just too windy and wet

Jell6 profile image
Jell6Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun

I can imagine!, more windy weather on the way too.

We are pretty protected from extremes of weather where I live, but I have family in Wales on the coast who have been quite badly affected.

Apart from the heat there's a lot to be said for summer running πŸ₯΅

SueAppleRun profile image
SueAppleRunGraduate in reply to Jell6

We started running in the summer and loved being hot, quite a few trees down our way and some flooding but not as much as coastal Wales

Jell6Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun

Honestly, I find it really exhausting πŸ₯΅πŸ₯΅!

Come to think of it we were only running a minute or three at a time πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ not sure how we would manage running for half an hour plus but i did like having tanned shoulders and legs then we went on holiday and i sat by the pool laughing and laughing at my white feet

Lovely post and lovely photos πŸ˜ƒ

I was running past people who looked like Nanook of the North today. I was wearing t shirt and leggings.

Thanks Speedy! When I started running (March 2018) I wore several more layers, and long pants over my leggings. Then again there is a lot more walking in the first few weeks of the programme. By March 2019 those over pants were a distant memory .....
