A quick 3km and my trainers are definitely too small!

It felt cool this morning so I decided to do a 3 km route I last did on week 5!! It was rather strange not walking at certain points. There was a small section that was on a walk break last time and I hadn't realised how rough the path was so I had to be very careful and look at every foot step. I had to do a few steps walking just to make sure I didn't sprain an ankle. It was still faster than I have been for a while down from I've 8 min / Km to 7.5min /Km! It just shows what evening heat does to you!

It was a great boost after the not to plan Tuesday evening run.

I really need bigger trainers though. My big toe it getting bruised under the nail!

You sum it up in your last sentence, you did very well in that run, better still once you get the proper fit of running shoes or trainers.

I'm definitely going shopping tomorrow its do tragic! These are the right shoes for my gait they're just small! I didn't notice when I first got them a few months ago but longer runs and all this heat ....they might be ok again in the winter 🀞
