Week 9: Run 2

Dog assisted - I went out in Canicross get up just in case - as they’ve put sheep in one of the fields close to my home and the fences are not the best.

I think it worked out at about 50/50 as I let him off when we were past the sheep.

Distance includes cool down walk, but not warm up walk as I had to switch apps when the first one I started kept auto pausing and not resuming.

Had a brief pause - running on the spot - to chat to a couple of dog walkers and couple of even briefer pauses to take off/put on Merlin’s lead.

As I was setting the reminder for my next run on the C25K app, I realised that it will be on Saturday, so will aim to get to a Park Run.

I think I canix a little faster than running on my own but this is offset by leads on/off,passing other dogs and poostops.

Definitely. My pace between comfort breaks and other hazards is a lot faster. But take in leads on and off etc. and there’s not a lot in it.

Good run, well done 😊

Yesterday I managed a little 3k. Unfortunately sheep had got into the usually 'safe' forest (fresh droppings the give away clue!) - I didn't see any but Squiggy was on the lead some of the time just in case.

Which I will do - unless this sore throat that my husband has saddled me with, gets any worse 😑
