Nice weather for ducks and Lorises.

Rain all morning.

Rain means no people. A few hardy souls in macs and wellies but generally no need for constant zig-zagging and loud calls of 'Good Morning' as I approach from behind. (Madame Loris hates that!)

I like the rain, lockdown or not. Today I took my new waterproof running jacket out. It wasn't really cold enough to warrant it but I wanted to give it a test run. I soon had to drop the hood to cool down but after the that I was comfortable enough.

My glutes are taking a while to recover after a longish bike ride on Sunday but recovering now.

The other thing I took for a test run is a new ConnectIQ pacing App. For my HM I used the Garmin virtual pacer which is useful but very difficult to read. As I (obviously) didn't have my reading glasses on I had to keep stopping to squint at the screen. The new app has big numbers showing how far ahead or behind on a coloured background. Green for ahead; red for behind. Much easier for pensioners like me.

Happy running all.

Great morning for running. Cool and wet, but not too wet, thankfully

I can't see to do intervals either! Drives me potty. Hate the damned things.I can't run in specs but can't see app/Garmin without For gawd's sake. I do nothing but swear and cuss all the way round.

I like your splendid isolation! Here the dog walkers were out in force as per. I ran with a whippet for a while, which was fun.

I’ve changed my data fields to just show two things. I use the buttons to scroll through if I need to see different things.

As my sight deteriorates I might have to change it to one thing per screen. (If I’m still alive/running!)

I have a customised activity for intervals with manual laps.

There were still plenty of runners, dog walkers and walkers in the rain her this morning when I went out here, I was surprised how many, the app sounds interesting - what’s it called? Or is it just called oacing app 🤫😀

Love the rainy runs too. Yes I chose my watch specifically for the huge numbers, but even those are getting harder to read
