Should have waited a day...

... but I have 2 of the grandsprockets this weekend - the younger one just for Saturday, the older one till after Junior Parkrun on Sunday - and thought I’d be okay to move the Interval Run my plan wanted me to do tomorrow, to today.

It was SO hard. I managed 3 out of 4 repeats but then called it a day after the third one saw me staggering up a hill. One of the drawbacks of running somewhere you aren’t very familiar with 🤦‍♀️

I managed to jog through the last one but was very glad to slow to a walk after that.

Lesson learned!

I live near another section of the path marked on the finger post in the picture - one day I’ll have to explore the route properly and see how it joins up. It’s actually a pretty long route en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mon...

Great effort, always an interesting challenge on new routes. Enjoy your time with the little ones.

It was so hard 😝

Hopefully the younger one will not still have the sore throat he had earlier this week.

Hey I'm near that route too. A section of it is part of my favourite walk. I'm near the bit that runs by the South Downs. It's beautiful but does have plenty of hills!

Enjoy exploring 😊 👣👣👣
