It's the freakin' weekend..... I'm about to have me some fun🎶 (courtesy R Kelly)

Considering yesterday I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it today I was really pleased with this run. Decided to go to a park I used to go to as a kid near where my parents live. I think it helped to distract me, remembering what I used to get up to!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Running up some hills hurt but feel pretty chuffed with myself for keeping going. Yay me!! The epsom salt bath with eucalyptus oil the night before must have done the trick! One of my best runs albeit heavy legged the last 10 mins

Very well done Lissy! Bet it was nice running round an old haunt! 😀

You only have 4 more runs to go until it’s podium time! Enjoy them all, and prepare to celebrate soon! 👏👏

[Lissy24 Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

You've just made me start thinking about how on earth shall I celebrate!!!! 😁 New item of kit? Healthy stonking meal out? Fun day out? Ooooo I need ideas!!

Thanks cheekychipmunks!!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate in reply to Lissy24]

Well I’d say all those would be applicable! How about a swanky running watch too? And loads of bubbly of course! 🍾🥂🏃‍♀️😀

Slow and steady... and cruise your way to the podium...

You're doing well! Not long to go now!! I'll try the bath. Before you think or after? I love all oils and salts... so happy the weather is changing!!!

[Lissy24 Graduate in reply to Mayanow]

Well friends have told me I should be having a cold bath after a run but I've not convinced myself to do that yet!!

I've started trying to fit in a salt bath the night before a run. At the very least it relaxes me and helps me have a good night's sleep before my run.

I had cold showers all through c25k as i started 1st july and grafuated end of august. So it was perfect in the heatwave!

Not sure i can continue this in the winter but i will try. You know like winter swimmers?

And you are right, science aside, if it makes you feel good- it helps!!! Good running!!
