    Got a 4 miles charity run with my daughter this Sunday ❤️ will be the slowest but probably most fun 4 miles I've ever run 😁
    So fun. That is great. I am sure you will have a blast.

    So, it's through our local pub... we pay £5 to run and all the money goes to a cancer charity. A few cold ones in the beer garden afterwards

    Ah, that is great!  I wanted to throw some money in the pot for her, if she was raising.

    Almost 7 miles this morning and the heat was totally fucking brutal.  Went slow and easy but I really prefer to run before sun up, especially with the crazy heat and humidity.

    I'm not crying.... It's just raining on my face....

    So we finished the 4 mile fun run for charity, sitting outside the front of the pub having a drink while the winners medals were being presented at the back of the pub. A friend came round and told us Elishka has a medal for the girls category... Turns out she was 1st placed girl! ☺️

    That is so amazing. She takes after her dad. You must be so proud of her.

    I jogged yesterday. I liked to run down by the creek but stopped for a bit after hearing a scary growl which was not from Milkshake, my pomeranian.

    Recently, I did my second 5K and raised a bit for a homeless shelter provider. It was a walk in the park. I'll try a 10K next time.

    Mostly, I did stand up paddle boarding this past spring and a few treks up the dusty hill. Really, though, it's swimming weather here, now!

    Way to keep at it, my young swede friend! You got well defined abs yet?

    Yay, just did another creek run. If it's not sitting on the couch, it counts!

    You are getting faster,your times show that.  Just keep being consistent and you will get faster.  
    Also, in the extreme heat of summer, know that running times will generally be slower.  If you come close to pr-ing in a hot/humid environment you will 💯 be faster in the cooler months.

    (A pod I listened to this AM said that you could easily add 30 seconds on expected mile times when running in the high humidity areas.)
    Good to keep in mind.

    Always good to push and I am certain you will be under an hour, soon.

    What in-ear earphones are everyone using? 

    The ones I used (and liked) gave up on one of the buds. PERFECT for running, but not the best quality on the cable/wire it turned out :/



    So I bought a new pair of Sony, a step up price wise, still with a neckband. But they were not made for running it turned out. Impossible to use, even walking makes the battery and the control-thing which are located lower on these ones and with a much longer cable, bungujymp around and go crazy and sooner than later end up both (battery/controller thing) over one of my shoulders, or down the back or whatever. The store refuses to take them back because they have been opened/used... well well.. Can't run with them.



    So I need to buy a second new pair. I wanna stick with Sony mainly because it's the only headphones/earbuds I have had that has flawless blutooth.

    So thinking of buying these. A bit scared they will not fit snuck enough, and fall out when running. But they are priced great:






    My brother thinks I should buy a pair of Sennheiser:

    I used jbls for years but they always malfunction.   
    Very much a fan of the tethered in ear pieces.


    I ordered some Oladance open ear "wearable stereo" and actually like them a lot.  Surprised myself. 
     If you are running around others they will laugh, since it is loud as hell, but I can hear cars or other stuff around at the same time as hearing loud music.
    Only thing I don't love is that when my fingers are wet from sweating the controls don't always work easily.  Given that I got the hang of it, now. It doesn't bother me.
    Battery time kills the JBLs as well.  16 hours.
