Back up to 4km

Decided not to aim for RED February. Have just done a 4km. Runkeeper says it was my 39th fastest, so I think that counts as nice and slow. I could feel my thigh muscles after my last run (which was first since being ill) so I made sure to do my stretches after this run. I’m looking forward to being fit again 🏃🏼‍♀️

Well done, you'll soon be back where you were before 💪👏👏👏 Don't rush it and enjoy the journey (speaking from experience, easier said than done! 😅)

Hmm, yes. I still love the observation ‘Running. It's the opposite of drinking. You feel crap while you're doing it, but great afterwards’ 😅

Well done 👍🏼! Your comment about this being your 39th fastest made me smile. Slow and steady is the way 🐌. 😊

At school I was pleased if I got a gold star. On here I’m pleased if I get a snail! 🐌🐌🐌

Haha! I did an extraordinarily slow 3k yesterday, just not feeling it at all. However, after nights of not sleeping well, I slept so much better last night. There are always benefits, however short or slow the run is!
