Well done L10 on the snotty miles.
I chose not to try and PB today as I have a race tomorrow. It was really windy on the lower prom today.
I'm now alternating between painting the fence and sitting on the lounger - the fence is in the shade and it is a bit chilly where as the lounger is in he sun and its lovely...twice as long but the job will get done

Nut, er, did they get it wrong? that's not a pb. :-o

Lem, glad you could finally get out today and enjoy it. :)

I went to the Christchurch food festival as I'm "racing" tomorrow. I was a bit over dressed - when the sun filtered through the clouds a bit it was too hot then when it goes in it's too cold. It's that stupid time of year where you don't know what to wear. :-p I think I'll still wear my jacket tomorrow and wrap it round my middle as usual once I've warmed up a bit, I'd always prefer to be a bit too warm than too cold. If I wear my long trousers I won't have to worry about the midges or doing my legs. ;-)

Sending recovery wishes to all snot-sufferers, and strong running to the racers.

A decent figure from parkrun may have to suffice for my SAP mile tomorrow, but I'm hoping to get out and do a genuine one mile run - just to see what happens. Feeling enthusiastic.

We must have a north south divide with the weather because it is blooming freeing down here. Not lounger weather that's for sure, I feel like I want a hot chocolate and the wood burner on.

In other news I am just back from the hairdressers having not managed to go for six months :-o so I had loads off, it's all swishy now!

Then I went to collect my new glasses and I felt they weren't right so went back after half an hour of wearing them. Luckily I was able to be seen by the optician again and she has tweaked the prescription for the right eye and thinks they weren't quite centred properly, I could see better when I tipped my head back, so they will be re-done and hopefully will be better next time. 🤓

L10 I'm still having problems with my glasses, computer at work is the worst so need to go back again but they are closed for a refit till next Wednesday.
Finished the fence then looking like the hulk (green paint) I had a shower then we went to son & DiL with Alfie's chute/tree house which OH will build tomorrow and they had the BBQ on so it was a nice impromptu supper and a couple of glasses of prosecco:-)

Well done Hel, have you thought about joining in the Joker thing? I'm finding it's giving me a bit of extra focus at the moment.
MM, good that you're finally getting back on it and even better that you're enjoying it too. :)

Lem, sounds a bit of a pain about the glasses.

Fragile Do Not Bend
I'm the opposite to you AR, I would rather wear less and be cold at the start of a run, than wear more and get hot when I start running.

At this time of year I always get comments from my running mates asking if I'm cold, they are wearing jackets and I'm in a tshirt. But they are all peeling their jackets off half a mile down the road. 😀
