Week 4 Run 1 ☀️👍🏃‍♀️

[Jools2020]

I remember this week being when it all seems to kick off! So, I wanted to run today even though I’m away. Such a pretty route today along a railway track at the side of a lake. It makes a huge difference to run somewhere exciting and new! I’m not covering huge distances so it was still a ‘there and back’ run, so I was grateful for the halfway bell.

The walking breaks are not so long now! In fact, just before the first 5 minute run I was visited by the “you can’t do this!” gremlin 😈. I threw him in the lake. The battle was just in my head and I did finish without too much trouble - although I was flagging a bit at the end! I arrived back at where I started. Oh, is that a café? Well - I had to have a coffee! And sat outside overlooking the lake in the sunshine 😊👍🏃‍♀️☕️

That looks lovely and of course you can do it, but then you already know that! Bet you enjoyed the coffee ☕️

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Runninggirl59]

Sometimes the gremlins mess with your head! Oh yes, the coffee was good. And the cake 🤣

Loving the gremlin throwing! Hope you enjoyed the coffee!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Kat1234_]

Coffee was great - and the feeling of satisfaction for another run done! I was a bit slow, though.

[Roxdog Graduate]

How lovely! Well done. I've just realised there's a cafe at the end of my new route. I'll do it tomorrow, when some kind of random jeffing will happen, except I'll time the running sections I think.

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Thanks, Roxdog. Always good to have a café at the end of your run 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Good for you throwing that gremlin in the lake and week 4 is a jump up in running so well done

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks, yes it felt like a huge jump this time round! 😊

[Bontobpat Graduate]

what a lovely setting for your run!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Bontobpat]

it was beautiful there! It’s possible to run right round the lake, but I’m not quite running those distances yet 😊

[Runnin-g Graduate]

Well done, I love a new & interesting run somewhere different.

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Runnin-g]

so do I, as long as I don’t get lost!

[Rowers Graduate]

Nice one! What a lovely place to run 😀

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Rowers]

Thanks, Rowers! 😊

[Petem56 Graduate]

Ooh you make me want to be there.....

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Petem56]

it is a really nice setting! 😊

[Curlygurly2 Graduate]

Run tourism! My favourite thing about travelling! Well done on chucking that gremlin, I hope he stays in that lake and doesn't bother you any more.

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

yes, I think I’ll have to do it more often! Travelling and running while I’m there 😊

[Oldwoman65 Graduate]

Well done you. Lovely photo. Always nice to run somewhere different and a café at the end. Perfect.

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Oldwoman65]

Isn’t it just! 😊

[Week7 Graduate]

Looks beautiful. The perfect place for a little gremlin throwing.You're well on the way now!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Week7]

thanks Week 7. I hope so! 😊

[Gthants]

How wonderful! I'm running from home in Week 4. A different run this week to last - turn right, not left at the end of the road. Would you mind awfully if I borrow your lake?! 😂

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Gthants]

haha you are welcome! It will probably be a while until I run there again 😊

[BGood]

That gremlin is a nightmare! It follows me around my run but by staying focused on my goal it gets beaten! Keep up the good work!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to BGood]

thank you 😊

[LottieMW Graduate]

Week 4 *is* a big jump up from W3! So many people obsess about W5R3…but that’s a lot shorter 😉

Love running by water…so handy for those gremlins 😂

Well done on keeping it slow and steady 👏🏼🏃🏻‍♀️🐌

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to LottieMW]

Thanks, Lottie! Always enjoy slow and steady 😊. Running next to the water is definitely good for the soul !
