I ❤🐌- a lesson learnt

[alisonx]

The snails were my best friend last night 🐌 🐱‍🚀🐌 - went out for my weekly long one, given the cramp issue on Wednesday I set no target and would just see how i felt, it was the slowest run i had done in a while but it felt really refreshing. It was a lovely sunny evening too, not too hot and breeze when i needed it

I got past 2 k and no cramp, well it seems i took that as a 'its gonna be ok' and sped up a bit 🤦‍♀️ 1 km at that pace and the niggles of cramp...stopped and had a good stretch, walked a bit and then carried on back with snail at my side...i made it to 8.5 km and then the calf was feeling pressure, so i headed back - mostly down hill so nice and gentle. A good stretch to end and a nice warm bath. Slight tightness at the top but i am otherwise fine. So relieved, will rest up today and look forward to get out again tomorrow.

Never again will i underestimate the power of the 🐌

Happy running everyone 😃 May the 🐌pace be with you
