As the first thread is on 998 I thought I’d better make a new one before adding today’s mileage!

Wet windy wild 5k run on the beach early this morning was soaked by the end but with a massive grin loved it! Bit different from the sunset sea swim we had last night in the calm before the storm hit.

I can't add up, yesterday's total should have been 1445.2

A beautiful day here (more rain forecast for next week though). Having somehow managed not to take advantage of the clocks changing we weren't up early enough to be confident of a parking space, so a brisk 8.2 on the village lanes which we've not done for ages.

Lovely evening 5k run. There was a nip in the air, the colours of the leaves were fabulous and there were lots of groups having al fresco drinks on the river bank. Most of them were probably breaking our “only meet people from one other household” rule but everyone seemed to be happy.

Updating totals after just checking my Strava. Will be back later if I complete my planned trail run later. Wet windy and wild ere at the moment but it should dry up but stay windy later. It will be a muddy wet feet run though, if I can go where I hope to. Making the most of my youngest having a day out with her CM and not working Smile started the day with early seaswim / jump in the waves. I cycled there so if I run later that will be a split Tri achieved today...Yah.

Well done to those who have already beaten their 2020 goal.
I won’t make it to 1000km but am still very pleased with myself.
As a very new runner I could easily have given up totally when Parkrun, my running group and all races stopped but I am still running so that is good enough for me.

I'm loving trail running at the minute @TriSeaSwim99 me and (road) running fell out last year but feel like I've regained my love for it again since I started heading round trails again like I used to years ago!

TriSeaSwim99 · 27/10/2020 16:30

Same here, road running just aggravates my foot arch and shin then hip constantly but if I run on the beach or trail noticeably less niggles afterwards. I let my run fitness drop off a lot this summer so I’m trying to build it back up again.

ErrolTheDragon · 27/10/2020 19:01

Pissing down hard. 5km on the rower.

Was a bit Llanelli running today and ended up doing a very dark unlit run along the river. A bit unsettling so I think my after dark running will be well lit from now on.

Realised that I hadn’t done 10K in months so pushed myself to do that today because I have signed up for a charity one in a couple of weeks.
Was pleasantly surprised at 61 minutes. Not a PB but much better than I expected.
