Nice little recovery run

Managed a 2.5k recovery run this afternoon. Was hoping for more, but you know what? I'll take what I can get! I've been working every hour that the day holds for the last few weeks, sleeping not as much as I could, so as I now have four days off, an opportunity to sleep in for the next two mornings I'm gonna have a go at 8-8.5k on Sunday. Managed 7.5 last week, so the target is set.

I've lined myself up for it, so all I have to do now is get my feet in the starting blocks and smash that distance!

Well done for getting out there, I know how difficult it is, especially if the nights are drawing in, the temperature is dropping etc. That's still a mile and a half in the running bank that you wouldn't otherwise have done, and it all helps, believe me. :)

Short recovery runs are perfect prep for a harder session... keeps the leg building going, while not using too much power. Good job getting out there. Enjoy Sunday.

Perfect Jundal. A lovely little run, preparing yourself for Sunday. Glad you got out today! You’ve certainly had a hectic time of it.

Looking forward to your run report on Sunday! Good luck. 😀😀👏👏🏃🏃💪💪

Hopefully it will be full of DRAMA! ACTION! QUIPS! COMEDY! and anything else I can throw in there. You know, like grindy joints, protestations of naughty kids and the dog sh*t lottery!

Go Jundal!! That's the way! 2.5k is so much better than 0.0 and you feel good for it! It's already a win!! Go smash that next run too! 🤜🏽😁❤️
