That’ll do 😊☔️

I wasn’t really in the mood today, so I’m very pleased I squeezed 10 miles out and I believe it’s my 2nd fastest time hurrah! Mind you there was a very stiff breeze which was on my side pushing me up a few hills which was brill 🤣.

I thought I’d got away without getting wet - no such luck, it started coming in sideways about half an hour towards the end, but I just thought oh well, I’ll appreciate that cup of coffee all the more once I’m home!

I’m quite pleased as I managed to speed up a bit towards the end, apart from the last hill heading towards home, it was a killer. Not so many folk out today apart from the odd cyclist and one lady runner. Lots of cars though taking their 4 legged friends to the country park for a walk though.

Anyway, have a cracking day everyone!

Great run for you today Frenc, I'll need to get back to running longer distances come spring. 😊 🏃🏾

Thank you so much Al. I keep hoping spring is just round the corner, then it disappears! 😊

Tough as old boots Frenc; never going to let a bit of weather keep you indoors. 👏👏👏👍

Thank you! I try not to let it, but we’ve had such a run of bright cold weather, it was a bit of a shock to the system 🤣.

That made me smile.

I really wasn't in the mood ............. so just banged out a 10 miler. Brilliant 👏 😃😃

I guess it does sound quite funny! It was meant to be a bit less, but I challenged myself at the end and tacked on a bit more. 😊

Sounds like you boldly swathed your way through those final 30 minutes. And then still found some speed. Wooo! Well done!🙌💫

Ah bless you Sparky! Mind you I just couldn’t face a 5am start today, so I think this will be the first week in an age I only get 2 runs in. My excuse is my legs will get a nice 4 day rest 😊.
