Changing up the route

Hey all

Just competed W7R1 and man it was hot this morning! I think that was the warmest it been whilst I’ve been running and I almost missed my air conditioned gym until I hit a beautiful stretch of road overshadowed with beautiful trees and decided I wouldn’t give this up in a Sunday!

I decided to switch up my route today, so instead of doing my usual run round my local park, I decided to run the 3km or so route to my parents (instead of running first then bussing it later) Massive hill early on but you know what they say, what goes up must come down! Even passed another runner going In the opposite direction with a smile and a nod which was pleasant.

Only downside was the absolute ribbing I got from the younger sister when I walked in huffing and puffing, beet red face and dripping in sweat. Worth it though!

Well done runeshadow92 as they say a change is good for the soul and just think of the bus fare you saved lol, I’ve only started c25k this week into run 3 so I’ve got a long way before I’m doing a run like that. Don’t worry what your sister thinks just ask her if she could run to your house and not be huffing and puffing. Your pb will be getting better every time you do the run as well.
