That was hard work, and I was trailing behind for all the uphill bits (but not for the downhill bits).

Please note the elevations in the photo, and yes, of course I walked some bits. Rough under foot in places but totally beautiful πŸŒΏπŸŒ±πŸƒπŸŒ³β˜€οΈ

Now I feel slightly less bad about eating half a packet of biscuits this morning 🀭

Off to the supermarket in my matching outfit of pink face and pink top now.

The people were lovely and we kept stopping and regrouping. One runner ran extra distance to avoid the cows! πŸ„

I hate hills but they are "proper" ones. Well done for even trying πŸ‘

That is all I'm doing at the moment, trying! Knee muscles were working hard so they must be getting stronger πŸ’ͺ

In so many ways I envy you for both having the hills and the self motivation to train on them! You will be gaining so much strength from those sessions plus you get all those beautiful views!

Then I go out for a nice little flat 6k before work & for no reason whatsoever I find myself shattered and so glad that I don't have to face those hills!

Well done baddie, next time you get a flat event you're legs will be grateful πŸ’ͺ

I slept well last night! I'm struggling with motivation hence goin out with groups. I have to admit I'm always tired but put that down to illness and old age. I have to admit I love flat runs 😁
