Battling a few gremlins... But trying to keep some perspective :-)

Not much to add to my title really, but just to share that despite life not being brilliant right now, & not having been able to get out for a run for a whole week, I managed to drag myself out & do another PB 5k yesterday (by seconds). And as the sea breeze tried to scupper my efforts on the home stretch, I just focused on the view & kept putting one foot in front of the other.

Keep running everybody, we've got this ☺

Pic looks glorious and well done on a pb. Hope the life situation improves for you - you are evidently committed to running and I am sure that must help. Good luck

Thank you Jan. I was beginning to doubt even my running commitment over the last couple of days so had to get myself out to prove to myself that I could still do this. 😉

Yes it's sunny Eastbourne, the not-so-touristy end of the seafront. 😀
