Saturday morning 5k

Up with the birds as per 😂 so headed off for a 6am run, after a glass of water, a quick 1k walk and some stretches of course! I'd say I've done the right thing as it's already lovely and warm out today and I'm soaked in sweat! 🤣

It was a tough run, made worse by forgetting my earbuds, so no tunes! The birds where singing there encouragement though so not all bad 😁

Struggling a bit with breathing and pace control at the minute and seem to only have one gear with no ability to up my speed to keep the Kms under 5 mins, my own fault I know as I've been lax with maintaining my routine and diet.

All in all though a decent run of 5km in 27.27, couple of km cool down walk home now for a coffee and a shower before I go take my doggo for a scan to see if she's having any puppies 😁, then traveling up to Sunderland for a day drinking in the sun with my bestie 😁

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and that your runs are smooth and niggle free! 👍🏻🤞🏻

Wow that’s fantastic 💨

Will you be going to Stewart’s parkrun?

Puppies 🐶 dogs are the best!

Parkrun is the best! I’m going to the barrage for the first one, just because it’s a big club get together. You’ll love it. I’ve missed it so much!

I’m confident you’ll find your preferred expert rhythm again very soon. But, hey, the birds sang for you today, which is always nice.

Enjoy your summery day out.

Thank you Gail, I think I may have to find a happy medium between the two, speed seems to have deserted me 🤣
