Week 7 done !

[HillsEverywhere]

So yesterday, very early in a pitch-dark night, I completed week 7.

The last two runs have been a mixed bag. R2 was awful. I tried a new, really hilly route which might have been okay had I not had the bad idea to have a glass of wine the night before. Oh my. I really felt the difference. Tight and tired legs all the way. I had never before been so close to giving up on the middle of a run.

So I made sure I did plenty of water before R3 and stayed well away from alcohol. Much, much better ! That made for a really pleasant run, a little before dawn.

Now I'm really worried I'll have to go teetotal if I want to keep running ! 😮

How big was this glass?? I want one!

I drink every other night now... I get back from a run and the wine tastes sooooo good. Next morning it’s back on the hydration and being good.

Great job on week 7... week 8 is lovely, enjoy.

I think I'm switching to drinking every second day too !

It was a good glass... filled with some nice local white wine. Lovely.

Well done you..and relax..there is a well known phrase..."...but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake..." 1 Timothy 5.23

And a fair bit of research into drinking and running...and the benefits of! 😉
