First run scheduled with Work. Was debating last night whether to just go out first thing or leave it till this evening. Glad I went out this morning, air was kind of cool and it was light and quiet.
The run itself felt okay, although my left knee started to ache a little. Idk if it’s because of the walking I did yesterday (I did a lot) or what. It wasn’t unbearable though and I think I went slightly faster than I did on my first run (not that it matters).
Can’t wait to finish week 1 on Thursday!

Thank you! It was either go out then or go to the gym after work, I wanted to do the running outside again to build my confidence and it also means I get to just make my tea straight away when I get home later and I’ve only had to wash my hair the once this morning, rather than this morning and this evening after my run!
I thought I was going out early today- in about 10mins, 7am- and realise I am positively late!! Very impressed. Rain forecast in 40mins so that’ll help my speed work this morning!!
Yeah I’m glad I did it then! Wasn’t sure how I’d feel when the alarm went off (if I didn’t feel like it my next alarm was set for 5:45) and at first I thought nahhhh I’ll just do it later, after a couple of minutes I realised how awake I felt and just went for it! Really happy I did though.
Yeah it’s hard at the minute because none of my days have a set routine anyway! Thursday I think I’ll just go when I get up again, I’ve got nothing else to do then! Saturday will be trickier because I’m in work 5-2, so might wait until the evening but then I’m thinking I might be too tired so might save the run for Sunday. We’ll see how the week goes on!
Blimey. Working around changing shift patterns sounds a bit tricky. Might be worth dropping a note to the incredibly lovely Hidden . She does insane NHS shifts but manages to fit in her runs with a big smile and wave to everyone. She's probably got some great tips
Ha it’s not so much shift work as more being in uni and working two different jobs!
The job I do Tuesdays and Wednesdays I’m actually leaving tomorrow just for the summer, because uni is gonna pick up again for the next few months, but instead the job I do on Saturdays I’m extending to Friday Saturday Sunday. It’s gonna be tricky but can’t wait for a few months time to have a steady routine hopefully by then I’ll already be running my 5k in 30 minutes lol!
