W7 R2

So hubby up & off early for his first Park Run (completed in 32.20!). I decided to try a change of venue, so after dropping daughter at work, headed to a local park. What a difference! It was lovely running round the pond, watching the ducks and geese, running in the shade of the trees then bursting out into the sunshine to run round the open grassy areas. Loads of paths to try out, so no two laps the same. Most importantly.... NO STITCH! Ran for the full 25mins and to be honest, could probably have kept going a bit longer - bring on Week 8!!! Home for breakfast now - not sure what helped on the stitch front, but long may it last πŸ˜ƒ

Hi, it was much nicer running there, lots more sheltered than down on the sea front. Hubby did really well for first attempt - official time came back as 32:13. He's on such a high, bless him lol

That looks like a lovely place to run. Maybe the shelter from the trees helped you relax hence no stitch πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Or it might have been the lack of the hubby - he does tend to run faster which puts me off πŸ˜„
