August running going well 😀

[skysue16]

Arrggg - Just spent ages writing a post then deleted it by mistake!!!!!

Summary: 3 runs again this week, two consecutive due to unexpected visitor (daughter 😊). Yesterday’s run was hilly, up to the Beacon - phew! So will top 100km for August but not quite reach May’s total of 120km! Incorporating strength exercises during runs by stopping and using benches, railings etc 👍 Rest of week clocking up mountain miles in Snowdonia 🥾 hope weather improves so we get some views!

Photo: Loved this ❤️ I saw on one of my runs.

Happy running everyone and speedy recovery to those on the IC

Yes, never seen a heart shape quite like that before - lovely.

ARGH! I hate when that happens x

Sounds like a good week. Keep up the good work with the strength stuff 💪

Really hope the weather improves for you too.

Thank you, weekend looking ok 😊 Our 10th Anniversary today - we and our guests walked up Snowdon on our wedding day 😊❤️🥾

Happy Anniversary 🍾🍾🍾

Well done. That is impressive, especially with the addition of strength exercises. I'd be stopping for a rest on the bench. Hope you enjoy Snowdonia👏👏

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Cantstopmenow]

Well strangely I seem to get a bit of a spurt between each stop, despite heavy breathing doing 3x10 push ups etc!

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

I’m sure there’s some logic in that, I just don’t know what it is 😉

I just have a vague memory of reading that if you’re doing strength training and a run on the same day, you should do the strength stuff first...

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Oh! Maybe I need to do some research?

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

That wasn’t me knocking you doing it during, you understand! X

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Of course, don’t worry at all! Happy to take any advice since I don’t really know what I am doing 😂

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

Do any of us??? 🤣

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

😂

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Perhaps I should do the strength exercises as part of my warm up walk 🤔 I may do a separate post to see what others think.....

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

I'll hold that thought. You never know I may just try it! Happy anniversary 💞
