Just do it

[HeavyFoot]

After leaving the IC, I have managed three 20 minute and one 30 minute run, but all on the flat.

Time today to go for my 30 minute hill run which was tough even when I was on form. At 7 am I got changed and at 7.30 decided it wasn’t going to get any lighter or drier. So I set off.

I definitely feel heavier (haven’t dared get on the scales) and breathing 2/2 nearly all the run, but got to the top of the hill, the Toxic Ten tree, at exactly 10:00. A bit slower on the turn round point at 15:40.

Nevertheless got to the start point at 29:53 which would have satisfied me before the IC.

My whole body aches. All except the smile on my face. Smug or what? 😊

So you should be feeling smug, Heavy Foot! Well done you. ☺

Still glowing and aching this evening 😁

You deserve that smile, great effort on the hill but there is no shame on flat😉

I’ve seen people sprint up hills. One day ....😁

Welcome back heavyfoot.

It’s good to be back Dexy5! Funny business this running. I curse and swear at that hill as I run up it, but I’d buy it a pint at the pub.

As a flat runner, it doesn’t take much of a slope to get me swearing 😂

Way to go HeavyFoot - and smug face is totally allowed after that!

Nothing like a hill for a good challenge
