Week 3 run 1 done ✅

Went out for our family run this morning. I’m finding that it’s me that motivates everyone! (Who knew!). As you’ll see it’s me that’s ages behind, but I actually don’t care that much. The 3 minute run was quite tough, particularly the 2nd run and my legs felt like they were burning. BUT I DID IT! Pleased with myself once again. 😊

How wonderful to do this as a family. Obviously you took the position at the back to keep an eye out for everyone, like all good coaches!

Great job, enjoy run 2.

Just been researching calf pain-it seems to be a common theme with everyone. Stretching seems to help!

Oh ok. Thanks. I will make sure I stretch a bit longer. I’m not sure how to explain it, but it’s not really the back of my calves. More the outsides of my lower legs. Maybe it’s the same thing though 🧐🙄
