Sunday long run…and a little company!🙂

[Sandraj39]

I usually run on my own (and that’s pretty much how I like it!) The exceptions are when I occasionally run with my husband - which we have now done for the last two weekends.

Today I had a 13k planned and although he was initially planning a 10k, my OH took up the offer when I suggested we run together…again! 😱🤣

We started off on the local roads before heading out on to the trails, where we had a lovely run along the local Downslink and around various fields and footpaths. I was really pleased that I felt strong on this run, which had its fair share of mud and undulation! 🙂 Although it felt pretty cold when we stepped out, I can’t say I was really aware of it during the run.

Next week of course, is the London Winter run 10k ❄️ and I’m really looking forward to running around the streets of central London! The weather (at the moment) is looking dry and much milder and I think there will be 20000+ of us pounding the streets, cheered on by penguins, polar bears, huskies and spectators! Can’t wait!😄🏃‍♀️

Happy running this week everyone!🙂

Hi Sandraj39 ; that sounds like the perfect warm up for next week. It has been really cold up here, but with the right kit, it really doesn’t seem to matter after 5 minutes of running. I think that I would be a bit awestruck by a London run these days. I did sign up for one (a 10k) but Covid-19 put paid to that; except for the virtual shirt.

So, just a bit of tapering this week and you will be ready for the start line and on the look out for the group of VRBs who are ready to storm the capital!!

after a 13k on the trails you will fly around that fast London course Sandra. It sounds such fun with great bling too. Enjoy half term holidays!

A 13K for me too yesterday Sandra in a very similar time! We ran together 😊

A great preparation for Sunday. Fingers crossed the weather stays calm 🤞

The weather is glorious in London at the moment, hopefully it will continue like this for your 10k. I will be taking Mrs R&P out to Kew in the morning and then for lunch in the city. I may be able to wave actual pom poms for you!

If that doesn't work out here's a particularly fluffy red panda just in case. 😃

Red pandas pom pom.
