Warm out there this morning. Not the good kind of warm either. #runchat #runninguk

Was meant to be a super easy recovery run, but my legs are so sore they felt like they weighed a ton! Still managed it though 💪

Decided on a longer #run today and ended up doing a #halfmarathon distance. It was a bit laboured towards the end but the pace was reasonably consistent.🙂👍

Morning #run from the University, through town and back along the Thames.

This beautiful #RedKite was sitting in a tree at the bottom of my garden. That's an impressive garden bird! Makes a change from bluetits, goldfinches and woodpeckers. 😀

Bad photo of a colourful goldfinch 🙂

Shorter #run today. Felt a bit more laboured but on the plus side it took me to just over the 100km mark in April so far.

Warm morning for a #run along the canal/river.

Photo is a nest that seems to have been built on a shopping trolley dumped in the Kennett.

I suppose nature is trying to make the most of the mess people have left behind.

Ran 5km again today. My body: “We literally JUST did this.”
My brain: “We’re athletes now.”
My pace: “Absolutely not.”
Still, I survived. That counts.

Dragged myself out at 7am thinking I’d beat the heat…
The heat said “lol no”.
Managed 7km and melted somewhere around km 4.
Hydration and pride both running low. #running #runnerlife #RunningMotivation #runningcommunity #runninguk #fitnessmotivation

Hot weather for the #BracknellHM this morning. Faded a bit towards the end but managed sub 2 hour and was 6th in my age category (out of...23 🤣)

1st #HM since I was hit by a car in 2022 while running. 😀👍.

Now sat in the garden with a book!

I seem to be developing a #running (😉) theme for photos. Today's is a family of Egyptian geese grazing by the old bridge in Sonning. Enjoyed the #run in the morning sunshine.

Early start, warm sunrise, 12km in the bank before 9am.
There’s something about Saturday miles that resets everything.
Grateful for strong legs and a quiet morning. #running #RunningMotivation #RunningTherapy #runner #runningcommunity ##runninguk #fitnessmotivation #cornwall #kernowfornia

Same route, different day. And a very different atmosphere. Still very cold but foggy along the Thames this morning. The mist rising from the river was beautiful. Early start so very peaceful. Just the waterfowl and a few other early morning #runners. 🙂 #ukrunchat #running #ukrunning #runninguk

Early #run. Definitely wasn't feeling much like it today. It felt like hard work right from the off.

Starving hungry now and ready for breakfast. 😀

Took the Nike Vaporfly 4 for their first 10km today.
Pretty sure they were doing more work than I was.
If I start running PBs, it’s definitely the shoes… right? 😅👟 #running #runnerlife #RunningMotivation #runningcommunity #runninguk #fitnessmotivation #healthylifestyle #fitness

Busy morning, but managed to squeeze in a #run before lunch. 😀

Lots of these lesser celandine flowers brightening up the route. Apparently they are poisonous and can be fatal for horses, cows and sheep. Presumably they'd have to eat quite a lot of them...😁

#Run with Kar this morning. First run with my new #Garmin #Fenix8. Early days but pleased with my choice of the solar version so far.

Bluebells are looking fantastic at the moment. #PeacockButterfly is a very tatty example that I'm guessing overwintered. 🙂

Beautiful morning for an early #run. 🙂

Stopped briefly to check (at an appropriate distance) on the nesting swans.

The nest is an impressive construction, raised up above water level. Hope they are successful this year.

Beautiful morning for a #run.

I took the time to pause briefly to watch a grebe diving. 🪶

If the sun stays shining I'll have to take a walk into town and make the most of the opportunity. ☀️

Bit more like a trail #run starting from #NTGunbyHall this morning. Beautiful blue sky and fortunately not as cold as the last couple of days. Despite it being a slow one #Garmin decided to increase my fitness level. Don't really understand how it works 🤣

Slightly rainy #run this morning around the #NTGunbyHall estate. Nuthatch was in the beautiful gardens outside the cottage. The #LincolnImp was from a visit to the awe-inspiring cathedral yesterday. Planning a countryside/coastal path walk for later. 🙂 #ukrunchat #running #runninguk #ukrunning

Quicker #run yesterday along a familiar route. Another picture of a bird 🤣 ( The heron was too quick for me and escaped the photo opp, while the swan was more cooperative)

Pleased with my pace on this one and it felt really good. 👍
