Felt great today, run before work, hamstring behaving but shortly after my warm up Rico the golden retriever caught up with me having run away from my wife. So a shorter run. Got him home and then thought to just add a run round the block which was good but too short overall when I felt so good.

Looking forward to trying a longer run again this weekend

Happy running all

Dogs are a bit distracting aren't they. You are bowling along steadily one minute and the next you're wrapped round a tree! What is it about squirrels that so enrages a normally placid dog!?

Well done GF. Your dog is getting fitter too

At least the shorter run may keep your hamstring happy! :-)

Indeed although I was so frustrated I had a longer run today and it was fine!

Ha ha , you would've got away with it if it hadn't have been for that pesky pooch ! Dogs, hey you gotta love 'em ...

Good to hear that your hamstring is holding up and youre getting some mileage on your legs..

I would put Rico on the naughty step for the next one , tell him he's grounded :-)

Fab stuff GF, youre getting there , wont be long till youre back to full strength xxx
