#friday run

[bluedesignwall]

After a week of rain we are expecting a weekend of rain. I decided to run after work today. As we drove home I felt less and less like going for a run when we got home. I made the effort and got out the door. Conditions in the forest were very wet under foot so I ran on the tracks and headed to the beach. It was a very slow run but I wasn't feeling like racing I just wanted to run and take in my surroundings.

Not too bad for a relaxed Friday after work run (with a lot of traffic lights) 🤘💪🏃‍♀️

Indy Mini W9D5 - easy 6 Ran these yesterday after work! It was super sunny outside which made me think it was warmer than it was. Oops! I warmed up fully after about 1.5 miles :) Otherwise these miles felt good! Feeling back into the training groove and ready to get back to work! Simba was being extra weird yesterday and decided to crawl on my back. Silly kitty :) And Scott is here this weekend!! We hadn't seen each other for 3 weeks, so we are happy to get the weekend together :) Happy weekend!!

It has been a busy week. I enjoy busy particularly when there is some new experiences mixed in with the BAU. I missed my Thursday run so I decided to run after work. I ran around the park. I have not run there in probably three years. It was the same but some improvements have been made to the paths. Something that was really noticeable was how many more cyclists there are now. There was still room for a runner though. I have been watching the process of installing a new sculpture by the river whilst out on my morning walks. I ran down the other side of the river this afternoon and took a closer look. It is situated just across the road from a pub but not to worry, it is right next door to the hospital. I had a great run despite not bringing my running shoes. I ran in my locker runners which was just fine. Hubby collected me from the office and drove me home in the dark which is much better than running in it.

We ran in the rain after work. So pleased it is finally raining. Daughter and I are in week one of our marathon training and it has been a bit of a juggle. I have a feeling this whole year will be a juggle. Our lives are full and we are going to cram in marathon training and ultimately running 2 marathons. One at home and one far far away. It's going to be awesome.

Indy Mini W3D5 - easy 4 Ran these yesterday after work! It was actually really nice out. Still weirdly foggy and cloudy, but it was 45 and no wind, so it was really good running weather. I just trotted along and really enjoyed these miles. I got surprised by one deer, that was the most exciting thing to happen haha And Scott is here this weekend!! So last night we went and got a couple drinks with some friends. Kept it pretty low key, but still fun to go out with friends :) And today is supposed to be 55 out!! We will be doing plenty of outdoor activities :) Happy weekend!!!

My Friday afternoon run around the park was pretty windy and cool. I toughed it out in a t-shirt. One of my colleagues who lives in the country had pictures on her phone of the mountains covered in snow so it was little wonder there was a nip in the air. I did the stairs a few times when I got back to the office. It was way warmer in the stairwell.

Friday run around the park in 26C warmth was sweet. I love running when it is warm. It was pretty windy too but you can't have it all. I was so pleased when run o'clock finally ticked around. It has been a full on week. Had to stop for a train on the way back. Hubs was waiting at my work but he heard the train and figured out where I was. He was sitting in the Mk1 people magnet so had people to chat with. We had to wait for another train as we drove home and then we got detoured for roadworks. It took ages to get home and dinner was pretty late. But now it's the weekend👍😁.
