Week 3 Run 2

Done and decided on yet another route. The thing I really don't understand is that why is it when you come to a running section, this run it's the 3 minute section I find myself at the bottom of a hill? Push on and get it done, and feel much better for beating Geography, which was always a rubbish subject at school.

Took a picture this morning as well - definitely getting lighter.

Blueboots it was taken at about 6:30. I'm up at 5:45 and out of the door no later than 6:10. I need to back by 6:45 as my eldest tends to wake up at about 6:30.

So early doors is the way forward!

I was right. I leave about 7,10am to head for the woods and sometimes I even run in the afternoon :O

ha, thats funny. My runs were always like that. The amount of time I spent trying to devise alternate routes so my walk was not on the flats and the runs commencing at the bottom of a hill and finishing at the top of a hill!

Never worked. Took me along time to figure out that as I live at the top of a hill some how, somewhere uphill had to happen unless I run 896 times round the living room 8-)

Ok I'll take some comfort that I'm still snuggly while you are out... my argument with self doesn't even start until you get back in the door! :) I've got me an incline on my route - so far it appears on a walking bit (quite relieved about that at the moment...)

I do have a proper hill in the opposite direction to the way i leave the house, thinking of making that the brisk walk warm up part, then start run from the top... Does mean I'd be running up the main street though...

Not what you're looking for?
