CR7 Outside in the light with my new Garmin 😁

[shuffleido]

I used my new Garmin today which was brilliant. When I got near home I realised that I hadn't quite done the 5k so went around a field a couple of times.

5.03K was a mix of running and walking taking 50 minutes - I know it slower than a 🐌🐌 but a majority of it was uphill. At one point I came across a man and his toddler on his little trike - all I kept thinking was please don't overtake me 🤣🤣

I don't know how people listen to their music and run, I'm just concentrate on keeping upright on the muddy tracks and watching out for people on their scramble bikes!!

Anyway, tough but completed. I've had a lovely hot shower and now going to make my coffee,

Stay safe everyone.

Well done, sounds like a good run 😊. I hope you are enjoying being outside. I'm looking forward to getting back into it next week, my knee is starting to feel much better.

I might try without music then and concentrate on my pace. 1st Km done in 6 minutes. Way too fast for me. I do listen to thrash/death metal though..... fairly pacey 😂

Wow! That’s a massive step-up in just 7 CRs. Who cares if you’re snailing it? All power to the 🐌 🐌🐌✊and to their inner 🦌 🦌🦌.

Amazing stamina, I’d say💪🏼... And balance! ⚖️

Well done, that's another outdoor run ticked of, made me chuckle about the man, with his toddler, i know we all think about our pace, but just being out there running, is all that matters! 😀

[Rennur Graduate]

A man AND his toddler on a little trike, no wonder they couldn't overtake you. Good job they didn't have one each@

You are a little mad choosing to run mostly uphill.

Keep it up.

I still do one hill run per week; great for building up leg strength; pace doesn’t matter.👏👏👏👏👏

That was a good run, I just let the music wash over my ears, Willow runs to the beat of the song,

[nowster Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Unless the tempo of the music is close to my cadence (usually around 160 steps/minute), I don't tend to lock on to it.

Well done!!! A 5k smashed it 👊✨I also got a new Garmin.. can't wait to try it out .. waiting for the next dryish day.. like you I worry about staying upright in all this mud 😂💧

[Buddhagal Graduate]

Well done shuffleido, sounds like a really good run, despite it being hard...but you were running uphill!!!👍😁. There are plenty of hills here in Malvern...I'm doing my best to avoid them at the moment😂....so more power to you💪💪💪, good going. 🦌🐢🐌🏃‍♀️🙋

The worst is running up behind walkers, gradually gaining on them, but not having the power to run past them like a gazelle, saying an obligatory 'good morning' then shuffling along in front of them, hoping they will have the decency to slow down
