A very damp run this morning... was a nice temperature for a run though.

Think I've just about dried out now...

Garmin clocked me at 29:15, with an official time of 29:10.

I meant to run 3.2km… planned my route wrong and ran 3.2m. 😂

My treadmill lies! It reckoned my #run tonight was 5.6km. My #Stryd, which I put far greater trust in, reckons I only ran 4.9km. Certainly felt more than 4.9km though... serves me right from wimping out of #running in the rain.

Attended the 3rd event at the Woodlands #Parkrun in #Scarborough. Quite enjoyed it!

It was day 12 of my #Run62Miles challenge for @cancerresearchuk.org, and I've hit the half-way mark!

Hmmm. Been looking for a guilt free snack with plenty of fibre. Found these in Holland & Barrett.

I actually quite like them, and they’re filling! But you need good teeth! 😁

A 9km effort yesterday... a lot of run, walk, run, walk. It was pretty warm.

But another 5 miles for day 10 of the #CancerResearchUK #Run62Miles challenge, so I now have a buffer at 27/62. Almost halfway!

Slightly less than 2 miles today, so stole point four from yesterday. But it was another progressive, and I was trying to finish a bit faster. Happy enough with that.

A very windy #Withernsea Promenade #Parkrun today. But just as well, because as soon as you sat down out of the wind, the thunderbugs zeroed in.

11 miles down now for the #CancerResearchUK #Run62Miles challenge.

Wasn’t feeling up to the planned #Runna 8km. Did a progressive #run over 2 miles instead.

A gentle start to the #CancerResearchUK #Run62Miles challenge. Made a mistake though. Ran on the treadmill. Damn, it was hot. Should have just gone for a run outside.
