This was my planned 8k this morning but after a poor nights sleep I had some real doubts whether I would make the planned 8. I decided to start in the middle, do 2k then back and if feeling OK another 2k and back in the opposite direction along the tow path. After 4k I was back to where I had parked the car, legs where feeling a bit heavy but decided to carry on. After about 1k I was beginning to think about turning around but then a whole load a other runners appeared, I'm guessing it was a running club. I was spurred by this on and tagged on the end of this line of runners for another 1k before turning around ๐ So in the end by the time I had got back to where I had parked the car I had done the 8k . . . feeling a bit weary after 8k and not enough sleep but glad I did it. Happy weekend running everybody ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐

Good 8K run for you today orangeguy, 8K is one of my favourite distances as I usually run it in around a hour or less, that was great seeing those other runners, it meant you could use them as pacers for part of your run, I hope you have a better sleep tonight ๐

What a clever idea, Iโm going to steal that if you donโt mind. 2k and back then maybeโฆ.good run for you and what a lovely place too, tagging onto a bunch of other runners a bonus
