Tell me I’m not the only one... who’s been out for a run?!

Just got back. I didn’t pass a soul despite running through one of the most beautiful parks in England. The sun was coming up, it wasn’t raining, fairly mild.

Utterly exquisite. I could not believe I was alone. A wonderful way to start 2019!

Tell me, anyone else out this morning??

Not yet but I will be shortly, just jogging by myself. Sun is out for what feels like the first time in weeks.

tinydancer88 · 01/01/2019 11:10

Just finishing my coffee and then I'm off to do 6-8km. Sun is just coming out here.

I went out with my husband & children & did the second day of c25k this morning :)

mmmgoats · 01/01/2019 11:11

Did 5km. I am recovering from a cold though

HRTpatch · 01/01/2019 11:11

I am going for a 7 mile brisk walk.
Alone.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 01/01/2019 11:14

The "alone" bit sounds amazing, HRT... six more days til school is back

Park run completed in my slowest ever time. Don't think beer and running mixes very well!

nostaples · 01/01/2019 12:36

New PB on Park Run. Was absolutely determined to do this for the New Year and did it by 2 whole minutes. Now regretting this as feel will have to keep this up and it nearly killed me. Wish I had just beaten by time by 10 seconds now!!

LoudestRoar · 01/01/2019 12:41

I'm back! Feel so much better

SagelyNodding · 01/01/2019 12:45

I wish I had! Tomorrow I definitely will, I really need to get back into it!

Sirzy · 01/01/2019 12:46

I did parkrun pushing ds in his running chair. We finished in position 450 with many more behind so you certainly weren’t the only one out!

werekitty · 01/01/2019 12:49

Done a double park run this morning and got a pb at the first one, now crashed on the sofa not wanting to move.

fatgirlrunning · 01/01/2019 12:54

I went out today for the first time since September. Only a little one but it's given me back the bug. Perfect weather and got to catch up with a friend while plodding away.

GailLondon · 01/01/2019 12:56

Double parkrun for me too!

Zwischenwasser · 01/01/2019 13:03

In the Ethos of the Fat Lass/Lad at the Back Brand, you are still lapping everyone on the sofa.

Im planning a bike ride later. Possibly.

Double parkrun for me this morning. Was a great start to the year! X

DonDrapersOldFashioned · 01/01/2019 13:10

DH went out this morning. I also saw a fair few people out when I popped to the post box. ‘New Year, New Me’ and all that.

ReadingwithTea · 01/01/2019 13:12

I went for a run this morning. The sun was out and the scenery was beautiful. A great start to the day.

BillywilliamV · 01/01/2019 13:27

5 mile walk, cant run any more, arthritis in foot.

NamelessEnsign · 01/01/2019 13:30

I went out for 5km! Hardly saw anyone but I can see from Strava that my neighbour went out this morning (she’s about 40% faster than me so there’s no hope of running together).

Last year I was aiming to run 500km, but injury after injury, Young children, and a stressful job change meant I did just over 200km. Not much has changed so I am aiming to beat 200km this year!

moonbells · 01/01/2019 13:44

9am Parkrun for me with another 400+ folk. Didn't find it easy and have done something daft to my knee but still only 37s off PB so it was close! Lots were going on to a second one, though I'd have had to have hobbled walked it. Happy New Year all!

Rankellior · 01/01/2019 13:51

Double parkrun here too. Both were absolutely heaving and saw loads of people doing both events. Great way to start the New Year even if I did come home and eat a stupid amount of cheese which undid all the exercise!

SocksRock · 01/01/2019 13:55

Smallest DD has friends round until 3, but once they are gone I will be heading out for 10k. First marathon in April so I can't afford to be lazy anymore!

silentcrow · 01/01/2019 13:57

I don't run, but there were loads of runners and cyclists this morning as I headed out for my swim. Just about got my fingers back now, 6.8C is a bit bitey-cold Grin but worth it, I am absolutely glowing now.
