Lip Gloss Jul 2023 10:05am, 26 Jul 2023 70,361 posts	0 Lip Gloss Morning peeps. Lovely 5k done this morning. Stupidly I started my Garmin on my small warm up but Shondo’s Garmin showed we did a sub 30 so I was chuffed with that.

ITG 🇮🇸 Jul 2023 11:37am, 26 Jul 2023 16,709 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 Biked! Got some conquersize zones in Caithness and upped my pace from 3.31min/km to 3.017min/km since Sunday. It is a wee touring bike and quite heavy.
LazyDaisy Jul 2023 2:32pm, 26 Jul 2023 38,578 posts	0 LazyDaisy Well done LG and ITG! I did a virtual mile today and while it was't fast and was three seconds slower than my April time, because I've had a birthday since then it gave me a slightly better WAVA and that's taken me to Bronze level. Still a long way from where I want to be, but at least it's going in the right direction.
Sombrero Jul 2023 5:05pm, 26 Jul 2023 13,260 posts	0 Sombrero for LG, for ITG and for LD. Nice walk on the Monsal trail with teen thing and Sal. Saw some goats, pigs and sheep. Heading off to track in an hour for my virtual mile. New shoes have arrived (not the jazzy Asics that I can't use until my birthday, but some rather bright Adidas Supernova) so I think I'll do it in them.
Idristhedragon Jul 2023 5:15pm, 26 Jul 2023 3,058 posts	0 Idristhedragon Did some walking and running this morning to squash my fetchpoint bug. Went to the hairdresser this afternoon and now have swishy hair that doesn’t have grey bits in it
Lip Gloss Jul 2023 5:51pm, 26 Jul 2023 70,369 posts	0 Lip Gloss I’m liking my swishy hair and all over grey bits.
LazyDaisy Jul 2023 6:24pm, 26 Jul 2023 38,580 posts	0 LazyDaisy I'm hoping to return to swishy hair, instead of my Shetland Pony impression, tomorrow. No grey to speak of, to hide or celebrate. Is anyone else thinking of putting their heating on? It's been tipping with rain here for a couple of hours and I'm huddling under a fleecy blanket!

compartmental Jul 2023 6:40pm, 26 Jul 2023 538 posts	0 compartmental I’ve opted for a hot bath LD! Still feeling this weekend’s long run & not impressed by the grey wet outside. The cat is also complaining, but can’t see why I’m solving this by getting wetter 😅
