Second Run...

After feeling pretty fab about completing my first run (I have pretty low standards of myself when it comes to exercise) and making grand plans to do the next one, I got beat down with shin splints and a family drama so had to delay.

After lots of stretching and ice, ivy and I were ready for our second run. Thank god for the dog to keep my motivation going.

We did so much better today, changed our running style and paced ourselves and got to the last run without wanting to curl up and cry...well I did.

Ivy decided that she had had enough and took herself home ten seconds from the end of the final run...so I made up for it by having to chase after her!

Home safe and stretched off for today...let’s see if I avoid a second round of shin splints 👍🏻

Our post run selfie...just to prove to ourselves we actually did it...
