So, after a 7 day break (by choice) from running, I set out for a 5km run. Weather conditions were perfect for running - sunny with a glorious cool nip in the air. My legs felt like new, all springy and boingy. And is that the pitter patter of tiny feet you hear?! Yes, thatโs me working on improving my cadence. ๐
If you have been running a while, feeling a bit jaded or pushing it a bit hard for a while, I heartily recommend a short break. My run this morning was so life affirming and lovely, and I fell in love with running all over again. ๐ The endorphin rush was great, too!
Happy running, lovelies.

Oh yes! And my calf muscles are almost back to normal now after the hills of Edinburgh nearly destroyed them! Home now, and reunited with beloved massage wand. ๐
Glad youโre back to it Sadie-runs ...I love the thought of fresh boingy legs!! When I get back to Yorkshire & stop drinking all this flipping wine Iโm hoping that my runs will also be boingy!! (Picture of zebedee in my head!!) Heading towards Paris tomorrow so I have been google earthing poss circuits as where I am now is a bit dodgy with the huntsmen & dogs!! Iโm desperate to do my last 9k (!) and crack on with the last week!
Lovely post, lovely run...great time too...I bet the locals have missed you x
Thanks darling Bev! You should just be proud that you are running at all whilst on hols! Kudos to you! Have a beautiful time on gay Paris, and hope you do get to do your 9k. Great way to see the city! I shall now picture you boinging down the Champs Elysee! xxx
Thanks Jelon! Legs felt like vulcanised rubber, but light! x
Lovely run dearest Sadie. And how brilliant to have boingy legs ๐ though you had me a bit taken aback by the patter of tiny feet for a moment there ๐ณ๐ผ๐ป
Iโve had three days off myself and enjoyed yesterdayโs run. Im fast realising one of my problems has been cutting out cakes and neglecting to replace the carbs with something else. I wondered why my weight was dropping off! A plate of pasta and a cupcake had me on top form again ๐
I like ready break. And I have muesli (which is oat based) with blueberries, raspberries, bananas, flax seed, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and soya milk before my morning runs. Xxx
Yay! So pleased you got out for a run after your break, and that you did so well with your run. Sounds like you had an awesome time!! And cadence work? Wow! Howโs that going?
Anyway, Iโm really pleased to have my running buddy back xxx
Thanks Neil, love. I am finding the cadence thing quite enjoyable - not being too scientific about it, but mindfully taking shorter steps at same speed. Supposed to reduce risk of injury, I think. I am very glad to be back! xxx
Aww, so chuffed for you my lovely, what a feeling that must have been for you. It does us good to have a break though sometimes. Oh to have boingy legs like yours, mine need strengthening. Lovely photo there too Sadie ๐๐ xxx
