Mist was covering the hills as I reluctantly set out on Run 3 of Week 3 of the Magic plan. By the time my breathing had become steady and my legs were moving in a slow (very slow) rhythm I started to enjoy myself. Today, acorns were scattered over the narrow country lane and I only had to jump into the hedge once when a tractor took the whole width of the lane. I had to run nearly 300ft up on this run and find that hard (very hard). I reached home with Strava showing 6.9km and did a small circuit back up the road.
The final result was 7.57 km (I over did the extra circuit) in 62 minutes. I achieved a Strava PR for 5km of just under 40 minutes - must have been when I was running back down those 300 ft! Felt good. Glad I went.
