So my reaction to today's run took me totally by surprise. Decided to incorporate my run into the journey home from work, and after a 7am shift start I wasn't sure if was going to be able to manage it. But manage it I did! I couldn't believe it when Sarah said that I'd ran for 28 minutes. I actually enjoyed the run, rather than enduring it. I think the change of route definitely helped as I had been finding doing the same route a bit monotonous. I never thought I'd be using the words "enjoyed" and "run" in the same sentence! Looking forward to seeing where my next run takes me.

Great stuff... finding a new route and just letting the run happen...relaxing into the runs can be a terrific help too. The longer runs are just made for your legs to find their own happy pace
Well don

Well done! Great way of travelling home.
Wow, well done you! I’ve been thinking about running part of the way home into my routine but the fear of accidentally seeing a work colleague is too strong so sticking to my secluded bit of park near home 😭

That's brilliant Fioona! I really like to change my route up too! Though I don't plan that, I just run and go where the mood takes me. I might have to refine that approach as the running gets longer, but we will see. Well done you! Not long now! 😁❤️
