W4R2 Lots of firsts

[Crawlhome]

A lot cooler in Devon today and woke up to drizzle but didn't want to cancel my run! I've been going out in a local park but it's too small and full of dogs to comfortably run for more than three minutes so I braved the streets!

I'd spotted a nearby playing fields on the map but it means walking along a long road with people and cars, feeling a bit self conscious in my lycra bottoms. I also had to do a longer walk to avoid starting my run on a hill. At the end of the road I saw another woman runner and we exchanged a little smile, I was secretly impressed by her fluorescent top.

Got to the playing field and there was a lovely long track with only a few dog walkers and I felt happy with my run, according to the Samsung health app I covered 4.61k in total so think I'm doing a good pace and looking forward to the next run!

The pace doesn’t matter at all. Only finishing the session matters so no rush!

Fun isn’t it 😃👍

Don’t worry about pace/distance, that comes later. You are building up to continuously running for 30 minutes three times in a week. You may find you need to slow down to keep going that long in the later weeks.

It was lovely having it a bit cooler today wasn’t it? I’m in Bristol.

I did that same run this morning and I’ll do R3 on Friday. I really can’t wait to get started on W5 next Monday, and I’m super excited and nervous all at once about the 20 minute W5R3!
