First Run with a Human Being

So down in Wales and out for a run with my sister this morning. Weird feeling to be running with another human being, but I coped ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

She is currently in training for a half marathon and has a couple of 10kโ€™s lined up in the next 6 weeks or so, the second of which is the one Iโ€™ll be doing. However, with my other (superfit) sister not around this weekend, it was just the two of us and in fact we discovered today that her โ€œhappy paceโ€ is very slightly slower than mine. So the end result for me is that this run turned out to be a nice relaxed 10k in the early morning sunshine.

Lovely route with a mix of roads, trails, woodlands, sea views and a countryside park.

Great to get another 10k under the belt and definitely felt easier than either of the other two.

Then the big surprise at the end - whereas I normally have a 5-minute cooldown walk, we had a 90-minute hike back to our start point. So thatโ€™s my steps target tripled for the day!

Anyway, it was a lovely way to start the day - we are off (another walk!) to the pub for lunch shortly๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ˜Ž

Fab! I saw your run on Strava, how great to be running with your sister๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘ฉ...

That slower pace may come in useful if you want to run even further!๐Ÿ˜„

Enjoy your weekend ๐Ÿ˜Šx

Thanks, but... no-ooo donโ€™t tempt me, donโ€™t mention running any further just yet ๐Ÿ˜‚

Everyone I know is telling me to consolidate for a while... people on here, the chap in the shoe shop this week, even the Strava app itself recently said something along the lines of โ€œare you sure you arenโ€™t doing too much?โ€ ๐Ÿ˜œ

Iโ€™m sticking at 10k for now I think ๐Ÿ˜€

Perfection ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Everything you want from a run. I like a good walk back too. Takes care of the stretching ๐Ÿ™†โ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘. I walk backwards for spells, to stretch out my calves. Good and slow, toe to heel.

Wonderful! I have yet to run with another human, but have a plan for a wee jaunt with my sister-in-law in a couple of weeks time. Well done on your satisfying run, Hoagy! x
