Quick run before work 🔆

[Frenc]

I work every third weekend and usually I run on Sundays before work, but this morning was going to be a fair bit cooler than the same time tomorrow so today it was. It was a nice 13 degrees and the air felt so fresh on my arms! I’ve now only managed two runs this week. Had meant to have a long one yesterday but I just couldn’t get up but it is what it is 😊.

Anyway, it really was so nice to have a coolish run. I always see lots of magpies - they are very cheeky, and the rabbits were out in force again. Sometimes I see a farmer lady going to tend her cows but she was nowhere to be seen today. I imagine she was having a well earned mini lie in. I did just over 7k at an average pace for me, although I always need to slow down in the woods - lots of trip hazards!

I hope everyone has a smashing day. Stay hydrated! 😊😊😊

Worth getting up early for Frenc 😎 Lovely photo, Almost autumn colours. I reckon the autumn colour will be super-gorgeous this year because of this heat.

Enjoy your weekend 🙂

Not that I’m wishing the days away but a cool crisp Autumn run would be sooooo nice right now! Thank you 😊.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Frenc]

Something to look forward to 🙂

Have you noticed that the hollies are covered in green berries at the moment. It’ll be snowing soon 😁

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

No I hadn’t noticed that! Snow in summer….. that’s a plant 🙂

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Early holly berries are a portent of a hard winter, according to folklore

Slow in the woods is good!!! Lovely way to start the day, well done for getting up and out!

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thank you linda9389 ! I do think of you now when I’m in the woods and take extra care. I hope your hand has fully recovered by now? 😊

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Frenc]

My hand is still bruised and tender if pressed or knocked Frenc, but much, much better than it was and no longer in any sort of brace. I was so lucky it never impacted my running, but taking extra care is top of my priority list now!!!

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

I bet! Thank goodness you came out in one piece apart from needing the trip to the dentist 😊. I’m sure the hand will slowly get back to normal given a bit more time.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Frenc]

It definitely will. I have to say, every time my foot catches something my toes curl, my tummy lurches ... I guess that will fade away 😀

[misswobble Marathon in reply to linda9389]

It will 🙂

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

Early as a girly named Shirley! Not quite sure where that came from 🤣, it’s been a long day. But you are so right. Thank you 😊😊😊.

Well done on another lovely early morning run Frenc.. seems like we're getting up earlier and earlier to beat this heat 🌡️🌞..I laughed last week when I woke at 5am and was in my kit by 5.30AM... 😂 But yes we'll rewarded 🏃‍♀️

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

Thanks sparky66 ! At this rate will be needing to get up at 3am or something mad like that 🤣.

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Instructor57]

Thanks Ian 😊. Having a few days off now to keep out of the heat. Have a day off work today and I intend to do nothing! I hope you are well.

[Instructor57 in reply to Frenc]

Oooh, enjoy some time off !I'm also off until Wednesday 😁

I hope to be back out soon 🤞

[misswobble Marathon]

Well done 😀👍. Lovely photo 😍. It’s great to be out having fun in the sun 🌞

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Thank you misswobble ! I’ve been hiding from it today though 🤣.

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Frenc]

I ran today around midday. I had a good lie-in as I was really tired 😴. I did 11k but walked quite a fair bit. I had a loo stop and wet my head etc. the water wasn’t drinkable though 🙄. A chap shared his water with me as I’d finished mine. Bless him 😍

Watering the greenhouses got done in record time 😁🔥☄️

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Oh well done you! I am in awe of people getting out at the moment, I’ve given myself a few days off. Hopefully I’ll have an early run tomorrow. What a lovely man sharing his water! 😊

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Frenc]

There are some lovely folks in my area 😀
