Hello all you fab runners!
Very pleased to say that the cold has subsided and I’ve got out there again. It was a bit of a humdinger which was handy as I was so grotty I didn’t feel like I’d missed much, it’s just my stats for the month have taken a real battering so I’m now playing catch-up. Hopefully I’ll take this carefully but I did give it some welly yesterday.
So it was back to parkrun, a bit slower than I’d have liked and I had nothing left at the end but it was still a good time for me. I’m now determined to get my average below 30 minutes: it’s currently 30:01 so maybe next week? Then I had to take youngest kitten to see a man about a paper round. That was a four mile walk. Then I’d arranged to see my friend, and I could have driven but it’s only four miles away...so I got my kit back on and out I went again. Thankfully my lovely friend drove me home: I was never so grateful for the feeling of heated seats on my tired thighs 😁
According to my FitBit I’ve never burnt off the recommended calorie intake for a male before, but I did it yesterday. Also record number of steps for me too 😂😂
I do think I have recovered much quicker because I’m fitter and my lung capacity is so much better. Thank you also to Katnap for his tlc, words of encouragement and supply of menthol sweets. I’ve had colds like this before of course but it usually ends up on my chest, and I was just waiting for the incessant coughing...but it’s not happened 👏👍 Yay!!
So it’s 3 weeks to my next race, the Two Castles Run. The trouble with castles is that they build them on hills, so I’d better get some serious hill work in over the next couple of weeks. This could get interesting...
Have a great week everyone 👏 🦆😻🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
