6km with hill intervals

I’ve been lax. I haven’t run since last Sat. I’m going to miss my total km/month target again if I don’t get on with it. Beautiful day so off I popped to do my short run with intervals up hill. Decided to lengthen my run slightly due to gorgeous weather and terrible forecast for next week. I did 4km, 5 hill intervals, plodded up to the very top of the hill and added a bit. Then decided I could go another way round an add a bit more.

I’m still going to have to do a LOT of running to hit my target for the first quarter. 15.5km by the end of the month. It is do-able if I get on with it...but will I?

That looks a bit like the river we ran past at weekend. I enjoyed a run yesterday, first time since Saturday. Did not feel up to a run before then, was so snotty.

A bit of spring gloriousness certainly makes you want to run.

Was late for work in the end as reluctant to turn round and run back. I too achieved 6.

Really nice to meet you at weekend.

Hi Roni, glad you’re feeling better. Yes, a short period of gorgeousness before the next cold spell. Lovely day. I just ran to the post office 🏃‍♀️😁

You went away without your running stuff? You didn't take any in case? Oops!

Maybe you can try doing 2x shorter runs? One in the morning and one in the afternoon / evening?

Who knows ? Are you having fun ? That’s more important really 😄

Yes I am. I’m a bit of a fair weather runner. It’s more fun innocent weather 🌤

Love it ! I’m guessing your spellchecker has tweaked your message a little ? Innocent weather sounds good to me 😄

Oops, that started out as 'in sunny weather'. How did spell checker work that one out? It's right though!

Had to share it with my mum, who also appreciated it. I think it may catch on around here 😂

It goes with the philosophy that there's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing!

If you can have innocent weather, can you also have wicked weather ? You’ve opened up a whole new world of possibilities here 😄
