Evening All,
I started my day today with my fat fighters weigh in and I had lost another 1/2 lb this week so; happy with that I then couldn't wait to get out for my run. After taking two extra rest days due to hip/knee issues on my last run I decided to go somewhere completely different today so off the pup and I went to Bedford park, as they say a change is as good as a rest.
The park has a tarmac path right the way round and 2.5 laps is the 5k Parkrun course which I hope to do when I've finally completed this.
What a gorgeous morning. There was a slight chill in the air but it was dry and sunny. The colours of autumn were a riot of gorgeousness and whereas before I would have felt extremely sub-conscious running in lycra in such a public place nothing was going to rain on my parade today.
Off I went and was very careful to heed Old Floss's advice, I warmed up well and took it nice and slow and steady. I still had a bit of discomfort in my shin till about half way round when it seemed to disappear completely.
We thoroughly enjoyed it; despite being lapped by another lady who I knicknamed the pink whizz. It felt so good to finish Week 7. Hoorah :0)
