Took my run to the sea today π a late night watching England meant I couldnβt quite be arsed to do the distance I had planned. I havenβt been up that late for years π€£π¨πΌβ𦳠still it was wicked to get straight in the sea as it looked like Iβd had a shower in my clothes π₯΅.

August 2014 I completed my first park run and today 12 years later I finally did my 100th π€£ππ»π₯³πΎ it was absolutely redders out there this morning π₯΅ so I paced myself around with a fair bit of effort but pretty steady and came in 1 second faster than last week ππ€£ hopefully the next 100 wonβt take so long ππ»π€£.

What a beaut of a morning for a run. A nice steady 5k in the sunshine before 90 minutes of Padel πΎ in the indoor sweat box π€£π₯΅ two of my favourite things to do ππ»ππ»

Sweating it out with a steady hour this morning . Popped the trusty Novablast 5βs on and plodded round the common for a bit. Only got attacked by one dog today π¬ I turned round expecting to see a Rottweiler or something equally massive and it turned out to be a proper angry white cockerpoo ππ€£ on the plus side my mileage is starting to creep up again now that the ankle is ok which is lucky really as I have a half marathon booked in September π¬ have a good one people βοΈππ»ππ».

There was some legendary procrastination this morning ππ€£ got up to do park run. Sacked that off to go for a trail run which I then also couldnβt be arsed to do π€£ In the end just went out the front door and went for a run. Got to about 1k and nearly came home π¬ had to have a word with myself and got on with it. Took a picture of a monument in town and then went looking for more. It would appear we love a statue and monuments and old stuff down here. In the end I really enjoyed this run . Insta wouldnβt let me get all the pics up as there were too many. π± Who can do better than this on a 10k run ? πππ»ππ».

Absolutely redders out there today but we got a little run in. A nice few easy Ks round the common taking In all the lakes and ponds ππ₯΅ the graffiti summed me up quite nicely at the end . Back to some proper training next week ππ»π₯Ά.

I was dressed like I was going to a race this morning. Race vest , shoe and sock combo ππ»and my hat on backwards π€£ and then went and hit some solid 5.15kms π€£ to be fair the hat was only to stop the ridiculous amount of sweat getting in my eyes and the vest was as close to wearing no top as I could get π this was my longest run since the 1st of April and my ankle injury so I donβt care I looked like a dick π€£ππ» nice little confidence builder that the ankle is ok now so all I have to do is find some fitness and start my half marathon plan π¬ππ»πͺπ»

Humid AF out there today ! π₯΅ I got back and it looked like Iβd had a shower in my clothes π€£ starting to build the miles up a little bit again although Iβm aware that I havenβt done a speed session since the first week of April π± Iβm pretty sure I can procrastinate on that first a bit longer though ππ still enjoying the no pressure running although I did remember I signed up for a half in September so should probably think about a plan again π¬π₯
