Hello all! My legs are currently not talking to me as I did strength yesterday and I just did a 5k. They can be very fickle! I keep telling them itโ€™s tough love and all for their own good, but they donโ€™t always get the message. Hopefully in a few days weโ€™ll be back on speaking terms ๐Ÿ˜†. Anyway, it was pretty chilly on my run (why did I think an off the shoulder t-shirt was a good idea), although I managed to get to just about the right temperature towards the end. My route today wasnโ€™t very exciting, along a big main road, but itโ€™s always a safe bet, and Iโ€™m fond of it as itโ€™s where I did a lot of my C25K runs. Itโ€™s to a large supermarket and back and I always wonder if Iโ€™d be able to shopโ€™nโ€™jog at the same time, jogging on the spot when it come to checkout! But then Iโ€™d have to carry stuff home. So probably not the best thought out plan! Happy running everyone. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ

Thank you! Iโ€™m definitely in good company with the 5k time ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘. Iโ€™m hoping the strength will help in the long term, but today my legs certainly didnโ€™t thank me for it ๐Ÿ˜†.

Well done on another great run๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘. I find controlling my temperature a bit tricky, so I've planned a route which takes me past my house after about 3k. If I'm to hot ๐ŸฅตI throw my sweat shirt over my hedge....Problem solved.

Thank you! Great idea throwing your top over the hedge, itโ€™s brilliant the little tricks we come up with ๐Ÿ˜Š. I live in a top floor flat so would struggle doing the same ๐Ÿ˜†. I could always aim for the balcony but I donโ€™t think itโ€™d quite work. Happy running! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฆถ

Ah thank you ๐Ÿ™. I worked out I started C25K just over 6 months ago and still canโ€™t quite believe I can run! All the best. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿฆถ

Thank you! Legs seem a bit better although I could absolutely kick myself. I have a niggly calf and managed to give myself a nasty ice burn yesterday which Iโ€™ve never done before - was pretty worried! The things we do. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š
