You’ve got to time it right though to not get splashed! Some awful puddles on my regular route, some muddy and with big lorries passing!

There are compression tops of different weights and they are breathable. Even some of the cheap Amazon compression tops have good reviews. I wore my thicker top this morning and overheated 🥵.

Compression tops work for me, short or long sleeves- no chafing. TCA and Under Armour provide just the right amount of light compression.

Me too! Rubbish at football, rugby (just made up the numbers) & couldn’t get into cricket team because I wasn’t good at rugby!!! Used to come last in compulsory school x-country. Then decided to run a bit more/walk a bit less, came 16/200. Surprised everyone including myself. Loved running since.

My achilles heel is snacking & I did overdo the gin once when work was stressful. It’s hard to say no. Note to self- it all starts with the shopping trolley. I’ve also been trying low alcohol drink options , some low alcohol beers are quite good (Athletic brand in USA, Peroni and Corona elsewhere)

They might have engaged in a bit of ‘probing’ to make the journey worthwhile!

A Cavendish and Walker crime novel by Sally Rigby - I’m on my 6th. It’s ok, keeps me entertained, but I preferred the Sebastian Clifford series.

Great to start the day/week with something you've accomplished and feel happy about. Good for the mental health. Not everyone bounces into the week feeling good.

If you’re running 10 miles then a half marathon should be a breeze (apart from the hills 😬).
