Day three and 2k run

[SueAppleRun]

Been a different kind of busy today and didn't come home full of bounce and enthusiasm like I did yesterday. Found Willow had a visitor so I sat down and chatted to them for a while, Then it was raining, hmm that's what you get for being polite and not running straight out the door.

I chose a 2k run today, need a short run, rain stopped and out the door, walk a little way, set off Spotify,. Set off Garmin then set off NRC 2k run and off, very gentle start because I hadn't walked for a whole 5 minutes, labouring away, I haven't eaten or drunk much all day, but I'm out and it's day 3, it will get easier, I just need to build up the habit.

Over the bridge, gloomy grey sky, just a hint of pink on the horizon.

1k run, turn and run fast back towards home, up over the bridge, breaking no records but now my legs feel warm and I start to enjoy it! Along the road, cross the road and keep running,

2k run and home .

It was only 2k but the second one was slightly faster

Run happy everyone orr rest well.

I haven't got a photo today so here's one my friend sent from one of her walks,

You just keep at it don't you! It's amazing! I was on a roll last week, managing 3 runs, but then had major dental work! Still suffering a bit 4 days on, so no running for me for another couple of days! Blast!

Oh you can't run after dental work, I had a mouth biopsy back in the spring and couldn't run for weeks

[Roxdog Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I remember, and was actually thinking of you!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Roxdog]

Aww thank you, so you know from my experience the pain has to be gone before you can run, those runs wait for us all

perfect! Those little short runs are fab for just getting out there and feeling like you’ve accomplished something!

🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Thank you, they make a difference too, my legs feel stronger and I feel I could go faster, longer, I'm really motivated at the moment

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to SueAppleRun]

Brilliant! 👏🏼🏃🏻‍♀️🙌🏼😄

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

What a view! You’re really nailing the consistency at the moment-brilliant!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

I'm putting a pound in a pot for every run however short and when I've done 100 runs I'll be ready for new trainers lol

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I’m nicking that idea!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

It wasn't mine but nick away, I don't have pounds so I've set up a little savings account to put the money in

Oh I do so like your posts - I love that you get out there when you lead such a super busy life. I work full time too and am always envious of your energy - I’m really trying but sometimes I just feel YUCK - thank you for inspiring me. I will try to take a leaf out of your book and do more. Thank you

It's that saying work smarter not harder and it's not one of my favourites, but if I haven't got half an hour I'm sure I can find 10 minutes, I feel YUCK a lot of the time too, it's part of being older, and I run really slow, then I run a bit faster then I walk, it's just better than nothing. Thank you for your kind words about my posts, I tend to waffle on a bit, but I'm a chatterbox in real life too lol
