Beautiful autumn trail run…🍁🏃‍♀️🍂🙂

[Sandraj39]

Autumn is my favourite time of the year and this mornings run, on the local Downslink and public footpaths was perfect…despite my legs feeling a bit heavy at times! I put this down to an evening out in London yesterday and the dreaded Covent Garden tube station steps! The spiral staircase of 193 stairs is quite a climb and a very good workout… but the queue for the lift was just too long!😯

Anyway, perfect running conditions this morning and sunshine too! A gentle breeze and cooling temperatures meant there were little flurries of falling leaves too.🙂🍂🍁 As you can see from above, I took a few photos along the way. 10k done.🙂

Wishing everyone a good week of running and healing vibes for anyone on the injury couch.🙂

Perfect autumn setting for your run Sandra, and your healing vibes were both timely and effective. My comeback 3k went pretty well. 🙂

Looks gorgeous Sandra 😍! It’s getting colder now but I think we runners embrace the changing seasons and take them in our stride 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Digging out the cold running gear is a happy event. That lovely merino long sleeve and a warmer jacket. Colourful hats and gloves 🥰 🤗🤗🤗

I might not be so smug later if I fall on my butt in the snow ❄️ 😁

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Have you got snow? ❄️ I am so jealous - nothing here!😕

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

yes! Quite a dumping last night. It was snowing heavily when I went to bed

Still quite a lot of snow around but it felt quite warm out and was thawing. Garmin recorded 1 degrees ❄️

I’m hoping for no more snow as it’s marathon weekend Gulp 🫣

I remember those stairs very well from my time working in the area Sandraj39 , and the queues to use the lifts too! 😳 I walked/ran up them regularly, but I was a lot younger then of course 😂

Great way to keep fit!!😩🤣
