It’s all going terribly well..

Another week on the magic plan done and dusted. 9, 5 and 4k runs all completed slowly but surely! And all were faster than the first time I did the plan back in April; not by much maybe but noticeable for me. Today’s 4k was 39:57 which was frustrating in that one km was a slow (even for me!) 10:22 where the others were around the 9:51 mark. I think I drifted off a bit - I find if I concentrate hard I move a bit quicker! Next run will be (not)Parkrun on Monday. Picture is a view I know I’ve posted loads of times but it’s never the same 2 days running so I don’t feel guilty! If you zoom in you’ll see one of the big car carriers on its way to Southampton passing the Isle of Wight, with a swimmer in the foreground in a dead flat sea!

Sea was lovely WaS - I did wonder about going for a swim this afty but am pottering in the garden instead. Hope your run goes well - I’m very impressed with your hill running!

Thank you 61Lady! Yes, those jet skis don’t hang about do they - we get a lot on our bit of the coast and it’s like being at Silverstone at times!

Thank you Fionamags- it’ll be my 3rd 10k. I’m hoping to finish it looking less like a soggy blob than on the previous 2 occasions!!

That’s great Oldgirlruns, & how very satisfying to be faster than the previous time. 😄👍🏻 Never mind about the slow k in the 4K - if it’s the cost of happy reflections, I reckon it’s worth it. - Drifting off is all part of happy running right?! 😄

Good photo - I have lived near the sea most of my life & also love the ever changing view. 😄

Well done! This is really promising and I'm full of admiration reading your posts 👏👏👏👏
