W7R2 - outside for the first time

It was minus 1 and I had no choice but to run outside today. Carefully planned the route so it was flat. I found it quite tough I’m sure I was slower than usual- I usually do my snail shuffle on a treadmill. My next run has to be outside too so I’ll do the same route and hope for the best.

I hope that you find the joy of outdoor running Sarahjo61. There is an added dimension of pleasure, being out there in the elements, spending time with yourself and communing with nature. Maybe slower, but so much more satisfying :)

Take it slow and take it steady and you will be fine... the great outdoors is..... GREAT!

A run is a run and a slow run is just as far as a fast run...
