All the gear - good idea!

Still feeling euphoric after 20 min run last week today was W6R1. Got out of bed to a cold, windy overcast morning, not what I’ve enjoyed over the last few weeks! I was not in the mood for a run, but I’m determined to do this, so got kitted up with the running gear (as my husband says, ankle supports, knee supports, boob supports) . Anyway I went for it and actually picked up a bit of speed in last 5 minute run (well a bit more than a shuffle anyway)! So pleased I did it!

Great stuff, great attitude too. Some find this run a bit of anticlimax, some find it a problem. It's always good if, after a run you can feel that is was worthwhile.

Enjoy carrying on, carry on enjoying.
