A cold Christmas Eve 5K

[Instructor57]

So I couldn't decide if to run or not today ,

I wanted too but a few other things I need to do as I'm sure we all have at this time of the year ! But decided as the weather was dry it was too good to miss !

So, a couple of hours after breakfast I decided to go .

Running tights , long sleeved running top and windproof jacket and gloves and off I went .

There were quite a few people around walking dogs or just out for a stroll so made it a little more tricky to social distance, especially when a lot of them don't even bother to try !! 😠

Anyway, modified my usual route slightly just so I didn't get too bored 😁

And in the end did a steady 5K,

So at least I won't feel guilty tomorrow when I cook a Christmas dinner 😬

Happy Christmas everyone 🎅😁

It is ! But so glad I did 😁👍

Well done!I had to settle for a short 3km stroll in the woods today. Too much else to do but at least it was some fresh air

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Yes, it's tricky to fit everything in , but pleased I did 😁

Wasn't it cold! I ran yesterday, so a long dog walk today, no need for a face mask as I had a blanket wrapped round me and over my face! I'd forgotten that cold weather hurts!Well done for getting out there, I'll run next on Boxing Day.

Have a good day tomorrow, whatever you do.

Well done Instructor57 for getting out and yes its hard to get going during the cold and wet winter months. I'm planning to run 5K on Christmas Day something I have planned to do, it will be cold and I know I'll be happy when I have done it. Happy Christmas and stay safe.

Thanks, I felt less guilty eating my Christmas dinner the next day. 😂

🤣 I already weigh 4lbs more than I did on Christmas Eve 😬 I have exercised absolutely no self restraint whatsoever.... managed to get out and do 5k yesterday, paid the price of soggy feet but felt much better for it 🏃‍♀️🥶
