Never quit...๐Ÿ˜€

Just got back from my first 10k in a good few weeks (due to sore hip and feeling like I was running on empty all the time) and it was BLISS! So nice to feel I am back where I was and that all my hard work and progress has not been lost! I took things steady and just felt great right from the off. My local trails were overgrown and muddy in places after all the rain last night - so a great opportunity to unleash my inner child and splash through a few puddles๐Ÿ™‚! Trusty trail shoes now duly washed and stuffed with newspaper whilst I walk around with a big smile on my face! Happy days!๐Ÿ™‚

Not so much 'jumping' - more like just running straight through the middle of them! You have to try it, especially muddy puddles - they're the best!๐Ÿ™‚

You'd be surprised Sandra! I feel very lazy sometimes! Wasn't feeling the love and sweated buckets(wore long sleeved and was much too hot!) but got round the 7k, not much oommmppph tonight. Blame it on the late dinner! Boz's mum just fed us another dinner so feeling very full and sleepy! Thanks for boz's bday wishes xxx
