☀️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!
