Another 5k completed, stats attached as route was boring ☹️.

Fairly good run, time slightly improved. Was really surprised as got up this morning feeling quite stiff as my little sis and I went on a cross country bike run (first for a few months) as our usual other hobby of wild swimming had been cancelled due to blue green algae in the reservoir 😱👎. As I ran the stiffness receded and my nemesis was the horrible north easterly wind that got me on the return leg.🌪 Anyway back home, fed, watered, showered and browsing you guys posts😁😁. Have a lovely weekend everyone and happy running.

Very impressive run especially after bike ride and yes - as you know I found the weather a little challenging today too !

Bet you’re pleased you did it now - stiffness and all.

Great run and at a good pace too!

The wild swimming sounds interesting - have always wanted to try that but never have. Do you swim outside all year round?

Thank you. We do swim outside most of the year but not if its icy. Skins (with costumes!) in summer and wetsuits half and full depending on temperature otherwise. Off to Loch Lubnaig at the weekend early morning to miss the crowds.
