W3R2 getting easier?

The day started with a long conversation with myself if I should stay in bed longer and have a nice easy morning or actually put on the suffocating bra and go check out if the heat already settled in. Good news: heat is yet to come, doggo was happy 😊

My breathing was on heavier side and my walks didn't fully recover it, but the runs felt easier. Yes! Easier! Hurray!!! I felt like today I could have run a little longer and possibly a little faster. My last minute of running I did pick up the pace a little. I didn't measure my run properly, so my cool down walk was longer, but that's perfectly fine :)

My fancy Garmin watch ⌚ that I bought to motivate myself to live more active life told me that this run yielded 3 PBs 😁 although when I checked on the phone it shows only the longest run 🤷 Technology eh?

After a slightly shorter stretch, I got too excited about life and before work I emptied the bins and put on laundry. Which means that during one of the breaks I will be frantically taking down dry laundry to hang up fresh load to air dry 😅😅😂

All in all I was surprised that longer break between runs wasn't detrimental for my running. So yet another run clocked in 😁✅ It was a nice morning run with a doggo 😊

It’s so satisfying when you can feel you’re making progress. Rest when you need it is so good for that. New tech is a great fun too-just make sure you don’t lose sight of the main metric that really counts…you’re feeling good! Long may that continue. Enjoy your next run!

Thank you 🤗 I agree, tech is and always has been just a support rather than goal in ots own. It's nice to see PB popping on the screen, but beating those PBs amis not my goal :)

I have a love hate with mine depending on whether it’s being nice to me or not!! Hopefully you’ve got a friendly one-mine is grumpy 🤣

Celebrate those pb’s when they come though-it’s lovely to feel you’re going further and faster than ever before 🥇

Yes, when the next PB will come, I will celebrate, but I am not working towards it, I hope it will come as a natural progression due to consistent work :)

I run Mon, Wed, Fri and find the two day gap on the weekend makes a big difference.

I also do laundry in the breaks.

I just bought more and more kit so I have to do washing less often….. 🙈

Obviously you need reserve kit. I just meant ordinary laundry. Sheets, duvet covers, smalls, etc.
