Well that wasn’t what I expected! 😀
Today was intervals day - Hidden please take note! 😅
It was supposed to be a beautiful spring-like morning, but there was thick fog up here. No worries, I ditched the shorts idea and plumped for long thin sleeves and leggings and laced up my trail shoes. Perfecto. I then dressed the dog in her hi-viz (yes, that foggy) and off we went up to the common. Almost got lost up there, the fog was so dense. 😳
Primed up JogRunSprint, Mapmyrun and Garmin, got my tunes playing and set off on my warmup walk. Duly started my intervals (snail, medium snail and snail in a bit of a hurry) and did 4 sets of 3, which got me to 2k. Hard work, but exhilarating when I was sprinting (yes, it’s all relative!) The funniest thing was my dog’s reaction - what’s SHE doing? - and she started bouncing around! 😅❤️
I couldn’t leave it at 2k, so I jogged another relaxed 2k to make a more respectable 4k run. I was heading back to the car cooling down, then my trail shoes started jogging again, they turned back up the hill to where I’d come. They then led me on a longer route back to the car and began jogging again, down hill, then back up again. What was I doing? I was doing my first trail run in my new trail shoes that’s what! 💪
I didn’t want it to end, I could have pootled around all day up there, it was amazing! The feeling of freedom running on gnarly undulating ground, my dog running around happily. Shame I stopped all the tech at 4k as it would have been fun to see the rest of my route. Next time! 🏃♀️🏃♀️
What’s more my legs felt rejuvenated after their lazy 10k on Monday. Amazing. 😀
Just had to share (again!) Happy running everyone. 😀🏃🏃♀️😀
