W5 R3 Completed, legs getting less sore as weeks progress!

Just got in from my first evening run as I had an interview this morning and thought fire engine red would not be a good look! Slow and steady is definitely helping even though I thought I was going to have a heart attack around 15 mins. I live in a small village so the one flat track I’ve been looping on brought me home with 3 minuets left of cool down so walked around the garden abit and did plenty of stretches. The sweetest thing was my little boy had saved me a bit of chocolate so post run treat! Where do other people run?

I run at 5.30 (ish) am around my local common. We live in London, so it's nice that not many people are about that time of day. Long term I hope to run home from work sometimes. But I cycle at the moment. Oh what a sweet boy. I feel like heart attack material on every run and I'm only just beginning. Lol well done.

Wow, well done. You’ve done W5 R3, that’s a real achievement.

I have several different routes to run as I like to vary things. Sometimes I’ll drive a mile or so so that I can run in the countryside.

Thank you, I like the idea of driving out further. I just get so red I’m a tad embarrassed and stay close to home to hide where possible 😂

You don't have to hide, you can be proud that you're out there running. I end up with my face dripping sometimes, but I just think at least it shows I'm making an effort to be healthy.

Happy running. :-)
