Wow, well the talkative mind got a proper kick up the butt this morning. I was stiff, I was tired (probably still am too! 🤣) and somehow I’d told myself this is going to be a tough one, but I got myself out there and I did it! Now I’m armed with knowing it’s doable and I was actually very comfortable indeed at my snails pace (Oldfloss ❤️).
I have to say I’m glad I chose to go earlier. It was very warm out there. Later might have been a lot more difficult. That’s the great thing about running, you always choose where and when!! Fabulous!! 😁😁
Now for a bit of stretching. That’s something I didn’t think about and have neglected 😳. There again it’s not as if I was a runner before now! 😂
Yes I didn't do much stretching early on, but definitely felt better once I started doing more after my runs. Getting 'rollers' also helped- I've got one with five spiky balls on that looks like a crazy rolling pin, and my partner got one of the ones you lie on and roll about on top of. They really help to massage the muscles and stop them aching so much the next day.
First ‘run’ in over 3 weeks 😬
W1 R2 and I did it 😁
