Just a quick post to say that after contracting ‘the lurgy’ at the weekend which I refused to give in to, and two days away at a conference for work - sitting on the hardest and most uncomfortable chairs I have ever come across - today I couldn’t wait to get back to it after four days off.

Back aching and legs like lead I set off as it was getting light, somewhat bleary eyed after a late arrival home. As I turned off the path onto the bridleway the sun was just starting to spill its golden rays across the stubble field, and peek through the trees. Beautiful. So good to be out in the fresh air rather than in a conference centre.

It was hard hard hard - only 5.5k, but I was delighted to be back to it.

Happy running all 😊🏎🏁

Hi Sandraj39

Yes it was beautiful- the photo really didn't capture the warm glow. But it sure was good to be out in the fresh air again.

Hard runs build stamina. 👍 Treat yourself to a nice slow one next. 😁

Hi Sadie-runs

I can't claim this one was in anyway fast - I think my back & legs had fused from the hardest chairs ever followed by four hours of public transport! Good to get out & get everything moving again no matter how hard it felt - I feel so much better for it. It's odd - I started this journey six months ago to see how I got on - now I can't wait to get out! Happy running. 😁🏎🏁

Running is just the ticket, isn’t it? The perfect antidote to hard chairs and sitting! 😊 I started out totally believing I would complete C25K and then lose interest...over one year later I am still running and totally addicted! Happy running to you too, FormulaRun. 👍😘
