Wow Week 5...

...and my best run so far! It was threatening rain when I set out, but by the end it was sunny! I had no expectations and thought oh my leg's going to start twinging as usual. Well how wrong I was, the only irritation was the numerous greenfly that seem to be around at the moment. I gave up in the end flicking them away from my legs and me and two greenfly had a great run.No aches or pains and I tried to pretend I was running lightly on marshmallows, seemed to work. Focused on my mid foot, landing lightly and running in a relaxed way. Well it all worked, was glad to finish but I felt I could have run a minute or so more! Oh and wore a new running top, maybe it worked magic???

Walking home and this guy said to me looking concerned,'Are you on the 'warm down?' Strange but i just laughed and said, 'Yes!' he was in sports gear but still bit strange, he hadn't been running. My beetroot face strikes again, I could feel it!!

Anyway still feel great a few hours later.
