Oh crikey 🤦‍♀️

So I hurt my knee walking the Viking way and haven’t run for 6 days. I decided to test it this morning but it’s not feeling right in the warm up walk so I decide to do c25k wk1 run - 60 seconds run 90 seconds walk x 8. No music, just a talking podcast with lots of long silent pauses so I can concentrate on my knee. I’m on a long silent pause when I hear a shout. I look around but see no one. Then I hear it again. Then it comes clearer “help! Help me! I yank out my ear buds and run towards where I think the voice is coming from - the hay bales. I shout loudly “hello? Do you need help? Where are you?” Silence. Then I realise the voice is from my podcast. Zombies run 🤦‍♀️

If I posted on here every time I felt foolish, I’d probably double the number of daily posts 🤣. It’s good to laugh though, especially at ourselves... keeps our feet in the ground and releases some lovely endorphins.

Thanks x the knee loosened up during the run/walk and despite being nervous at the start I enjoyed it. Mind you some of the enjoyment came from making a total arse of myself 😂 I averaged 10.10 minutes per km and I’m pleased on the slow pace as I’ve been trying to slow it down. I need to do more runs at that pace I think. Do every run like I have a dodgy knee 👍
