Not my best run πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ maybe it was the dancing πŸ’ƒ in high heels πŸ‘  last night (not danced for ages. Not worn high heels either) or maybe it was only 5 hours sleep πŸ’€ but really felt it in thighs. But still managed it despite the sun in my eyes and the bitterly cold head wind. Looking forward to rest day tomorrow.

Well done for completing the πŸƒ enjoy your rest day tomorrow. I’ll think of you on my run on Tuesday let’s hope it’s better than the first one. My tech stopped after 15 secs this morning without me realising so I ended up doing 3.2 miles just over 5k and boy was I tired. Tech permitting I can just do 28 mins on Tuesday. πŸ˜€

Ah heels did my feet in when I went running a few weeks ago after wearing heels πŸ‘  all day at work (no dancing just wearing!! So can only imagine how yours felt!!) but you did it!!

Starring in Strictly Comes Dancing is perhaps not the best prep for a Sunday run! Well done. You got out there despite lack of sleep and probably the aching high heel calves after-effect. A run is a run is a run as Irish-John says and this one counts just as much as all the others. Go you... oh and what colour were the heels? I love a pair me, but I must admit to have bought more trainers than heels of late!

Boring , black! I too have bought more trainers than heels.............even had my gait checked............Sad or what. But so addicted to running. I'm determined to A) to Graduate. B) do a parkrun. Changes to bucket list. Have even checked if I can run at a hotel we staying at in Derbyshire for New Year.

Wow, well done for running anyway. Heels...gosh, I can't remember the last time I wore heels. That would make my knees and thighs ache never mind the run. Enjoy your rest day :)
