That’s a third of the way through our 10k plan,

Look 👀 king back we are stronger we feel better on the longer runs and apart from yesterday we have increased our speed each run by a few seconds

Yesterday was a pig, started the day with a 3 hour staff meeting then home 🏡 off for our 4.83 run 🏃‍♀️ which was very slow and nothing to shout out about, then laundry ironing and back at work at 4.30pm covering a shift for someone on holiday, I’m not jealous at all, works got to be more fun than 10 days in Turkey 😂 😂

Finished and had a clear desk at midnight and up again before 6am so a bit shattered

Finally arrived home at 3.40pm and yay 😀 it’s a weekend off

but before we can slob on the sofa in our pj’s oh my goodness today’s run is hill repeats

Poor Willow thought we were on a rest day 😂

These were better than the last hill repeats and although hard we ran faster

We have a beautiful wood to warm up walk through the trees are huge then out into the open, up and down 6 times then for our cool down walk we went to the top, walked back down through the trees again,

I just couldn’t help myself, honest, I started to jog slowly swerving nettles and jumping the tree roots, I hear a thunder of someone running fast and Willow of the don’t run downhill because your knee is still tender raced past me I sped up and we had a wonderful time

I did yell out that one day we would come a cropper running down through the wood but we really couldn’t help ourselves 😝

Rest day tomorrow and have a fantastic weekend everyone, the sun is coming back

What a great run you had today, but be careful when running through woods with tree roots on part of your running route, you could get a nasty fall, not a thing anyone would want.

I know, we just can’t help ourselves, a couple of years ago when we walked up that hill we had to stop and test half way up, and I used to creep down through the woods carefully trying not to fall over lol 😂

Thanks, we ran up faster than last time, looks like we get hill repeats once a week now, it would be easier if we did them on a non work day but it is what it is and we are enjoying the plan

Fantastic WillowandSola!! 🤩🤩🤩!

5 weeks, stronger and faster. Happily running in the woods. Sounds perfect. I was thinking about going to the woods myself tomorrow...well now you’ve both just confirmed it for me. It sounds far too good not to! 😉 I’ve got a 2.5miles run tomorrow with 10 minutes warm up and 10 cool down. So it’s a long run for me.

Of course you might prefer to be in Turkey ☺️, but the woods sound amazing to me!! Well done to you both! 😁❤️

Those woods hold so many memories of walking through them with various dogs over the last thirty plus years, to run down laughing and feeling young again is true magic

Enjoy your run tomorrow Fabulous
