I am a runner, and runners RUN 💪

Tis a chilly bright autumnal welsh Thursday morning, made for running !!

It's going to be the long sleeved T, comfy injinji toe socks and shorts and cap 👍 no music no noise naked is best (in relation to running 🙈)

The wife has left for work, the girls have left school, not a gremlin in sight 🤓.

Breakfasted and warm up dynamic stretches eaten and completed accordingly, let's run.

After a steady warm up walk x2 I'd left the house wearing the wrong glasses 🤦 yep I've an old pair more suited to running as well they just feel better 🙃 odd but true.

Garmin started on the lift bridge away to go, slowly slowly slowly, there's a smattering of walkers with and without dogs, cheerily greetings exchanged.

The aqueduct had the faintest breeze, and bright sunshine with a spot of cyclist congestion but we wriggle by safely.

Crossing the canal the towpath section q familiar route is dappled with sun and shade, long sleeved T shirt, sleeves rolled up, running steadily, miraculously the pace is ok.

Cutting back for home through the lanes a short downhill stint, I actually prefer uphills than down but hey ho.

Crossing the old river bridge it's a steady winding climb for the final klm and perhaps a slight increase in pace just to see..... And I can 🥳,

Gremlins beaten home for a super hot shower after stretches.

Enjoy your Thursday running folks stay safe

I've gone out in my reading glasses before now. I noticed the problem almost immediately, of course.

Well done for sticking to your plan. 👍

Both pairs are identical prescription but my newer ones are I feel too cumbersome for running, they just ain't for running 🤷,

That sounds fabulous, glad you went back for your glasses if you hadn’t it would have niggles you all the way round. Perfect start to the day

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

I'd literally checked and double checked,....🤦 And back I went after ohhhh about 300yds 🤭

That sounds like a great run - not a gremlin in sight needs to be celebrated! You are indeed a runner! 😁
