Wk8R2 Possibly my favourite run.

Ran at 6, nice temperature this evening. Not all pleasant by any means but I definitely enjoyed quite a bit and smiled at other runners going by. It's my day off so caught up on sleep finally! I ran downhill, I ran uphill, I ran on the path and bravely ran past a group of football players to loop around the grass area.

I'm feeling my pace and breath are stabilising and the only time I struggled was running uphill with the sun in my face.

My lower back was really killing me after the last run so I did a you tube Pilates video yesterday and it's made a big difference so recommend that. I'm actively trying to do as much exercise that doesn't involve paying any money, except on running gear!

Four to go!!

You are on a roll Crawlhome! That run sounds perfect! Good for you. I like reading your positive posts as I’m a run behind and doing my R2 in the morning. Soon we’ll be graduates! 💪🏻🤞👍🏻🏃‍♀️😀

Thanks, it feels great to get a really good one under my belt.

Isn't it amazing how far we've come?!

I'm starting to think about 10k now!!
