Week 6 Run 2 - I enjoyed that !!

I was really looking forward to my run tonight and it didn’t disappointed.

Because of it being dark was running on the road rather than in the park, set off in my hi viz top + chest and back light... feel like a pushbike but without the wheels...

five min warm up went quick and was into the first 10 min run... everything felt right, pace was comfortable, breathing good, nice steady plod...

Got caught out by traffic when crossing roads as it was rush hour... one very nice lorry driver held traffic to allow me across the road.. 👍to him. Apart from that no hold up’s and felt like I could have kept going... but was told the section was over and to walk for 3 mins... being the good boy I am, I did as I was told!!

2nd 10 min run was also good, felt really nice and easy. Although when it was finished the legs were a bit jelly-like but think I may have pushed a bit harder than normal...

Looking forward to Sunday when I am planning on doing run 3.. a nice run back in the park is planned .. yay!!

Hope everyone is having a great week😘

Look at you.... That is fab and what good stats too. Lovely for that driver to allow you cross the road. Good luck for your next run on the wk end.

It was good of him, I was just about a to start swearing when I got to the centre island and saw a dirty great 40ft trailer and stacks of traffic behind him.. but he stopped, hung out of the window and waved me through.... faith in humanity restored!!

Can’t wait until Sunday.. gonna give the park run course ago... whilst no ones looking lol
