Week 4 run 2

[CookieM]

Well, as I was unable to run yesterday, so I thought I would find time today (when I don't work until the afternoon). It makes it tight to fit the last run in before the weekend, but it was such a lovely morning, I thought I'd make the most of it Risked the woods again, but changed the route to avoid the worst of the mud. Will definitely look at getting some trail shoes, as it is such a lovely route to run!

Struggled a little with breathing in the first 3 minute run, but was able to recover it during the short walk before the 5 minute run. Found the last 5 minute run a little tough, mainly as I had underestimated how warm it was outside!! Needless to say I definitely had a 'glow' to my face when I got home!

Anyway -

Well done on the run, I found week 4 the toughest so far, a big step up from week 3. A run through the woods sounds lovely

It is a big step up - but as Laura keeps saying, 'you can do it!' - and I am!

Very well done... a lovely run by the sound of it.. and you did just fine!

Thank you - yes, I enjoy running through the woods - they are behind my house and have lots of different paths criss-crossing them so I can vary the route if I want to. I'd never even walked in them in until last summer when I was looking for somewhere to walk one afternoon while training for a 25km walk!

And I just have to keep reminding myself that I can do it! (and I did!)

it is so exciting..we find all these new paths and routes..I even got lost one day after running down a path I had never been down!

[CookieM Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's done that!!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to CookieM]

There is a few of us! I was quite a way out and had a long walk home!
