breezy run

[limberlou]

what a change in the weather!!! My last run was a hot steamy morning, and today I was bent forward against the wind most of the time. Still not cold though. I’m just managing short runs at the mo so I keep redoing week 9 of c25k. My grandson is over in a 3 week visit from Oz so I am making the most do that and we are doing a fair bit of walking too. The weather changed as soon as he got on the plane at his end and it’s been mainly wet since he got here. Bit of a shame as we have had some lovely Septembers over the last few years but never mind.

I seem to have got steadily faster ( for me ) recently and at one time I struggled to keep under a 15 min mile and now it’s 14 and under mostly. I also am running mainly in zone 3 dipping occasionally into zone 4 but very rarely and I’m finding running so much more comfortable since I lost weight. Also my heart rate is much lower too.

So nice 30 minute run today, breathing was steady, legs felt easy, and I felt so good when I got home then I braved the wind again and demolished my older bean row and tidied up that raised bed. Will take it to the dump after my shower. So happy to be running easily again. Once Charlie goes back I will go back to running longer towards 10k.

Hope everyone else is still running happily with the more wintry weather 😁👍

🍏 Such a wonderful encouraging update! Praying some lovely September weather will show up for grandson while he is in the UK. I am sure you are treasuring these days with him! Xxx

Yes indeed I am. Last time (2 years ago) he brought his ex and it was a night mare. It’s lovely to have him to ourselves again.

Comfy running weather today, I found!

You might not be going as far or as long as you might want, but I'm sure all these runs in the legs are doing their job! It certainly sounds like you are making great progress and enjoying them as well. Enjoy the time you have left with your grandson.

I will. We are doing lots of wandering and catching up and reminiscing from when he was little and stayed with us .
