Creeping up...6.5k and counting😀

Lovely run today - fields, woodlands and a fair few dog walkers on the old railway line! Even managed to take a couple of photos (quite rare for me!). Gradually pushing that distance up now and the 6.5k felt really good. If you'd told me last Christmas I would be running 6.5k, I would have laughed...😄. How things change! Give me a muddy track and I'm off these days!🏃🏻

Hope everyone has a good week😀

I know it is madness, just a few weeks ago, 5k was so hard and now my distance is creeping up slowly, loving the track you ran, hope it wasn't too slippery!

Parts of it were slippery😮, but I went carefully and it all adds to the fun, doesn't it!

Thanks poppy. Some days (like yesterday!) I think I will make it. On the harder runs I just think "10k Sandra? Really? You're having a laugh!"

Gotta have a goal though haven't you?😀
