Another 6.5K of hill training. There was a heavy mist, which began clearing as the sun burned through. Two hellos. One woodpecker. It’s a joy (and a great relief) to feel my fitness returning. #Running #UKRunChat
Thanks. It’s going OK, fingers crossed.
In preparation for Bath Half (15th March), which ends on a big slope, I finally did some “hill training”. Found it challenging, but managed a 6.5K circuit with two big ups and two big downs. #Running #UKRunChat
Brilliant time. Well done.
Thanks.
Managed a slow 17K in strong winds and a bit of (welcome) drizzle. There was a running club on the river path and I wondered if I should join them, but they were going the other way. Saw a bird of prey circling high above – probably a kite. Three hellos. #Running #UKRunChat
Fabulous photo. Very envious on the owl front.
A mild start. Ran 6.5K. Three hellos. Heard a woodpecker. Saw a man in a #Parkrun “250” T-shirt, although he was walking. #Running #UKRunChat
Thank you. Yes, winds make it a lot more difficult. I’m trying to just ignore them.
Yes, it was really difficult today.
Well done. It’s great when it all goes to plan.
Ran 16K, dodging wheelie-bins and school children. It was tough today but I was pleased to extend the distance again. Three hellos. One woodpecker. Strong winds. #Running #UKRunChat
Thank you. Yes, you should definitely say hello. It really lifts a difficult run when people are friendly.
Cool breeze and weak sun. Ran a weary 6.5K. Four hellos. Lots of car fumes. Heard a woodpecker doing its thing. #Running #UKRunChat
Thanks. Yes, it makes a big difference to see a friendly face – especially when you’re struggling with crazy weather.
Ran 7.5K in bracing cold winds. No ankle pain! Two hellos, one of which was from a nice guy I know from Parkrun. Very nice to see him. #Running #UKRunChat
Wow. Never seen an owl but do hear them very occasionally at night.
No rain, for a change, and there was even a welcome blast of sunshine. Ran 15K, and my ankle seemed OK, but I’ll probably pay for it later. Three hellos. Endless puddles. Saw one cat, one pied wagtail, one duck, and a dog with wheels instead of back legs. #Running #UKRunChat
Beautiful!
Thank you. Me too.
Thanks!
Thank you.
Twinges persist in my right ankle, so hoping I haven’t made it worse by running 6.5K. Heavy car fumes. One pied wagtail. I got “the nod” from two runners. It seemed easier today: I can feel my fitness returning. #Running #UKRunChat
Mild but drizzly. Ran a slightly faster 6.5K. A few ankle twinges. The council had people noisily trimming the trees overhanging the river paths. The results are less pretty but probably safer. I also heard a woodpecker. #Running #UKRunChat
Looks beautiful. But chilly.
No rain, but water everywhere. Ran a very gruelling 14K, feeling low on energy. Three hellos and one cat. #Running #UKRunChat
Thank you. It was one of the grimmest ever!
Thank you. It was brutal. Really looking forward to a run that’s not completely dominated by the weather.
Very wise.
Well done for doing it.
