After my thoroughly depressing run on Thursday, I tentatively tried a run today, no expectations, just slow slow and even slower. I was hoping for 5k with a secret hankering to repeat 8k but gave myself permission to stop whenever.

Did a 10 minute warm up walk and trotted out 8.2k in 76 mins lol. Snail pace but I got there.

Thank you all so much for all the support recently, you all gave me the courage to try again, I was really down on Thursday.

I did wish on this rainbow yesterday though : )

Great photo. As Dolly Parton said, you can’t have a rainbow without the rain...

Well done on that amazing run. Knew you could do it.

Well done! I’m so glad you enjoyed your run after your downer in the week. 8.2k is a great distance, the time is totally irrelevant. You ran! The rainbow helped you, and so did your loyal VRBs! ❤️🌈 🏃‍♀️

Yeah! Smashing run Backintime! Back to almost full strength and some! Do take it easy after that one though, ease back gently til you really feel your stamina is back. 8k is a long run! 😊

So pleased for you!😊xxx

Rainbows are magical😉

They are probably the best runs when you don't put pressure on yourself. Well done you 😊😊
