Thought I’d picked a speed run!!

Duh 🙄 I was looking through the runs left on week 3 of this plan and there was 1 recovery run, 1 x 21 minute speed run and 1 x 30 minute speed run, well after yesterday I didn’t want a long run, so picked the 21 minute run and off we went.

This didn’t sound right, nothing about pushing myself just talk of just a run, run easy etc. We did a 5 minute warm up walk and I wanted to see how fast I could go and if i could keep up with Willow, nope I can’t but first kilometre 8.50 so that’s good then just eased back as Willow walked back to the car having run another kilometre in under 8 minutes, big grin on his face, I decided to go round the river at the back of the lake and it’s a bit up and down there so just carried in to the end up and down up and down, not really hills just short steep bits.

No after run swim today, there’s a vintage car thing nearby which we are going to then Willow will watch tennis this afternoon while I lay down somewhere then after tennis there’s a swim, back to work tomorrow, don’t weekends fly by?

Run or rest happy 😃

Well done on your not sounding right run! I agree, the weekends just fly by. Hope the car rally is fun and you enjoy your swim later. 😊😊😊

Thank you, the car thing and tennis are for Willow and my reward is being out in the sun and a swim 😂

Great you got another run in this morning even if it was not the one you were expecting !I can't decide between watching tennis or F1 🤔

Think tennis may win 😁

Oh goodness, another choice 😀I’m going to lay in the sun 🌞 no choice for me, I’ve watched some tennis this year but rarely watch tv I keep wondering if i should go buy a proper sun lounger or stick with the blanket

I’m afraid we’re big TV sports fans (but not tennis!)

Go for comfort and get a sun lounger!

Wow! Another run! Even if it wasn't the one you expected. Well done! Happy Sunday! The weekends are way too short

Too short but so much fun, although we went to see the Elvis film yesterday evening so it was a completely filled day, we got up fairly early today, ran, showered, went to a car show, back for lunch, waiting for the tennis so i can spread out in the sun, I thought this year I’d grown up and was being sensible but sadly not 🤪🤪🤪

That sounds like a good run despite it not being what you expected. The idea of a swim sounds wonderful 🏊‍♀️🌊🐟
