A little bit smug this morning 😎

Well, I'm back out in the Cumbrian countryside for the week and wanted to have my long run here. It is a very up and down route that I have done many a time on a horse so new there are some savage hills to face but I had a real 'want' to do the loop today. It's about 7.5km so I set my mind to just getting round and not stopping. I knew some parts wouldn't be pretty though πŸ˜‚

I am so happy with myself I finished in 46m 20 and even managed to walk the dogs afterwards. Whoop feel like I am making progress πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘πŸ˜ŠπŸ’¦

Fantastic effort on your hilly run, great time too. Walking the dog after will certainly have stopped you seizing up. Happy running πŸ€—

You did so well considering some parts were hilly and like me walking the dog after a run is a great way to keep the legs going . πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ•

Brilliant! Those hills in the legs will certainly be all to the good. You'll tear along the next flat one you do!!

That's what I'm hoping for lol! I quite like the hills, I'm finding I'm recovering quicker the more hills I incorporate in my runs πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘

You’ve been good making yourself go so much. That’s something I’ve lacked πŸ™„ I went last week and haven’t had chance again yet. Bit gutted I’ve done so much and now the running has taken a back seat cos of time

It's just how it goes isn't it? I've slacked a bit this week. Been so busy getting ready to open work again that I've only managed one run this week. I'm itching to get out though. We'll get back on track again. πŸ˜ŽπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘

Yeh sure thing. I went out yesterday, only managed 15 minutes, did 1.5 miles, am finding the hills here tough. I just need to get back into every other day. 😊

I know where you're coming from. I live on top of a hill so no matter what I do I end up with a big hill or two somewhere along the line lol!

1.5 miles is still a good run πŸ‘

I'm going to try my first afternoon run today. Got to take the chance to have a run 🀣 Omg can't believe that's me talking πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ

7.5km AND then you walked the dogs! I need a lie down after reading that. πŸ™Œ Amazing stuff B! πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈYou must’ve been delighted (and slept really well afterwards 🀣). Go you! 🎡The hills are alive with the sound of a future marathon runner πŸŽΆπŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’
