It’s a bitterly cold day❄️ at Bognor Regis on the south coast today, so I set out with some trepidation at 10:00 am.😳

I failed miserably to sync the Auro app, Spotify and Strava so I didn’t get the commentary, which is a shame but totally my fault!☹️

I ran the first 2km down to the seafront then another 2km into the biting wind, then about 4km with the wind behind me, followed by the final 2km back into the wind. I managed to maintain a decent pace, so I’m pleased with thatπŸ™‚πŸ‘

Thanks everyone for your encouragement yesterday!πŸ˜€ I hope everyone else who went out running had a good time and you’re warmed up and relaxed now😊

Nice! Well done! I joined in running for the first half, as I ran a 5k. Well done! Shame about the Auro, I just listened to it for my 5k, and now I’m all jealous of everyone who ran in the #winterrun properly! Big thumbs up! πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ‘

Well done David. It was so cold out there this morning, which is why I’ve never signed up for the real winter run. Sorry I was a bit late to virtually run with you, but I did do the 10k. Ooh that wind, my face is glowing from wind burn.

Excellent time too. πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘
