A beat the heat 10 miles 😁

I am really, really pleased with this morning’s run! I set out at 6:22am so as to make sure it was still fairly cool, and it really was worth the effort setting my alarm early and going to bed early last night. I meant to do 12k or so, but I was going super slow, so was able to make it to 10 miles hurrah! It took about 10 minutes longer than usual but that’s ok as it was starting to warm up by the time I finished. Thankfully my route is pretty shady anyway, so that helped. I think a fair few folk had the same idea as me as I saw some other runners and cyclists all doing their thing too. I’ve worked out where all the rabbits πŸ‡ live, and it’s always fun to see them darting out of the hedges to have a good nose at the heffalump plodding past!

This run has really cheered me up. My Sunday runs are special because I don’t have to dash off to work afterwards, and I’m just having a nice cup of coffee contemplating what to do with the day! Who knows? Nothing or something, we shall see.

I went to some beautiful gardens yesterday, Sir Harold Hillier arboretum, the big garden cheese round here. Anyway, the flower and the tree in the photos are from there.

Have a lovely sunny Sunday everyone! 😊😊😊

You will certainly get there SueAppleRun

I sometimes run by time not distance as I think it helps me build endurance without the pressure. Eg. I’m going to run 90mins or 2hours without worrying about distance covered. 😍

Wise words RunWillie ! Running by time rather than distance can be really good fun and as you say seems less pressured. 😊

Thank you! Your Sundays sound like my Saturdays - I do very little 🀣. It was brill getting back and the day hadn’t really even started yet. There’s no way I’d have done it later though as the temperature’s really starting to go up now! This coming week’s going to be hot hot hot, like most places. so early runs for the foreseeable really πŸ₯΅! I hope all is ok in Glasgow and that your sister is improving. 😊😊😊
