W2r1 + r2

As I entered my second week I was trying to figure out when to fit my runs in with fracture clinic appointments for my husband. Anyway for run 1 I went out as early as I could after the school run. I was pleased with run 1 and managed to successfully run for the 90 seconds on each segment. My last one I was running into a headwind which was hard going.

I completed run 2 this morning and was pleased with this one as well. It took me ages to leave the house this morning for some weird reason and then I got stuck in traffic trying to get to the park I wanted (I'm still trying to be kind to my knees by running on grass). On my warm up walk I had a phone call which was distracting and then in between the second and third segment of running I had another phone call. Goodness knows what the caller on the end thought as I was heavy breathing by this point. I wouldn't mind but I rarely get calls on my mobile!

I had to fight a gremlin on my last one but managed to get through it. I am so happy and can't wait for my next run.

Thought I'd add a photo of where I'm currently running. Don't think I got the tractor grass cutter in that I was also trying to dodge!
