Today was running group day! It was an out and back with a turn around after 15 or 20 min. I went with the 15 min option!

The first 5 - 10 min was all flat / downhill along a nice shady lane. On the way I got to have a nice chat with some of the other ladies. When we reached the river there was also a bit of a breeze which was so nice in this heat. The path along the river is also a busy cycle track so it was single file along the path. I made it just past the end of the pretty section of the path when the half way bell went so I didn't have to run through business park!

The return portion was good and we had lot's of encouragement from the faster runners aiming for negative splits.

I made it back to the start at the spot on 30 min even with uphills to end!! 😺

I did 3.7Km in 30 min and part of me feels I could have gone faster but I really enjoyed it and it's rather hot today!

Next week is the group anniversary so they are planning something different with cake 🍰 at the end 😁 perfect for my graduation run!
