A happy 7.2k, but are Jack and Eugene gone?

☀️This morning was it! I thought, long run, here I come. Hubby off to volunteer with the vaccination centre, I had a day off work so I could see a long delicious sunny run .... I planned, I saw, I ran!

🌧 Aimed for 7k, did a bit more. And plan was to do my usual 5k route and then just add my old C25k route. That latter one had become inaccessible throughout winter due to a severe invasion of squelchy, thigh-deep mud.

🧭 So today I was going to explore the state of that route, and it was so nice to reconnect with my (now dryer) route of yonder, even despite having already run 5k.

🐌 So managed a slow and delicious 7.2k and held back from simply shuffling along the whole route, which would have probably gotten me to 9k, but I kept to the 10% rule. Yes, madam, I did!

🦵And it felt good, but by the evening (now) I could feel the 7k in my legs, even despite having done my yoga practice in the afternoon, adding a special session of down dogs, just to keep the aches and stiffness down (along with non-existent dogs).

🗺 On LEJOG I’m back in England at 214 miles and I can see B’ham in the far distance! Yey!

🧟 And I finally finished Season 1 on Zombies, Run! Annoyingly, I had forgotten to download Radio Abel, which meant after finishing my first mission of Season 2 it did not switch to Jack and Eugene 😞. Bummer, but I started to listen to Radio Abel once in the shower but Jack and Eugene are gone!!! 😱 Surely that can’t be!

So besides Radio Abel’s favourite DJs gone missing, a brilliant day and run!

Happy running days!

Yes, sorry! I’m sure they’ll be back, right!? RIGHT?! Getting a bit hysterical I know, but really don’t know what will happen with Radio Abel! 😳

Great run CBDB and good decision to rein it in at 7k😁 the extra targetted yoga was a good plan 👍

Yes, and I couldn’t believe that I was wanting to do some Down Dogs! At the beginning of my yoga journey I was still gritting my teeth through every down dog! 👍🏽💪🦵

That’s the amazing thing about running and working out regularly. It’s actually so fascinating to see the relatively fast improvement!

Upwards, onwards and down dog wards! 👍🏽🙏

Don’t forget to do the 5k, 10k and 20k races at the end of Season 1! There’s a few times where you are suddenly supposed to be a different person, I think probably during the New Canton Races you’re actually a New Canton runner, and I think that continues into Season 2 for an episode or two where you’re somebody else, not Abel Runner 5. I was so confused when I listened to those!

Sounds like a good run, and well done for the yoga later! My knees don’t like a too energetic yoga practice on a long Run day 😬
