Oh no Floss, not like you with your nifty actual running backwards. Just took my usual course...the other way around 😆😥

Well, it wasn't my idea it was OH who said I should change things up as your body gets used to the same challenge... so set off to do stepping stones backwards. It was a much tougher run with an endless uphill slope then a short level bit to recover (i needed that) before another steep rise. I was struggling a bit, which i havent done for a bit so OH was right. I haven't been pushing it lately..

Its not all about that though is it guys, we can run for fun too.😊

Anyway pleased I did it and got 4 personal bests for my splits..them figures don't lie..so it must have done me good.

Lovely evening for a run too. Have a good one those yet to go..

Sounds good Jan. Beautiful day here too today. I think we do need to keep finding ways to make it interesting. Winter is going to be a challenge though.

Well Done - some routes are a beauty one way and a killer the other.  Sounds like your ready to try a few new routes ?

Yes terrorrun ( loving that name), have just been thinking now that the ground is drying out...could be time to venture out on the bridlepaths and onto THE COMMONS... didnt think id want to do cross-country, but now i think i do. 😊
