Morning run (without the colleagues!)
Who is this person?! I got up and out before 6:30 for a run round a playing field 😅
Back to my usual plodding speed but that was fine by me - the first five minutes were hard but I got into my stride after that.
And running on grass is so much trickier than running on tarmac - my trainers dragged with every step so clearly I don’t lift my feet up enough 😁
Well done for getting up and on it so early...now that’s commitment! 👍
I'm just enjoying running again! All these flat routes are spoiling me though, I'm going to struggle next week back in my hilly home 
"I'll come running with you. It will be good to have some company. I run at 4minute pace, but you'll be able to keep up. We'll run 10km as I'm training for an ultra."
Glad to hear that you went on your own. 
You should write a post on different types of runners! 
And yes I enjoyed my own company and music.
Good job. Different surfaces do take some adjusting too, I don’t like tarmac and love grass. Good that you got to your pace again after your unplanned speed session!
I suspect if I started out on grass I'd have learned to lift my feet up more! But I think it's better for the joints than tarmac isn't it?
It is, but I think modern shoes have narrowed the gaps.
Fantastic southlundon!! Best kind of running there is! Good on you!! 😉❤️
Thanks Fab I'm sure the running will help when I'm working late tonight!
I prefer tarmac but grass is a gentler surface for the old joints. I alternate depending on how achey I’m feeling. It’s good to alternate surfaces as apparently it activates different muscles and builds strength. Who knew ? 🙄
That's really interesting - I was certainly having to concentrate more on the bumpy playing field this morning.
weight off. But I am running albeit slowly.
For the record today's run was week 8 run 1.

Well done you! Up early and running out of choice! 😀
I agree about grass. I can’t afford to go much slower (🐌🐌🐌), so I try to avoid it if possible. Short grass is ok, but like you said, the longer stuff impedes the running stride! That’s no good, I personally need all the help I can get! 😅
Happy running! 👍
I had planned to go out at 7 but I woke up early so was out by 6:20!! I'll be shattered tonight given I'm working 14 hour days this week...
Even more impressive then! 👍
