Recovery run and fluorescent jacket fail

Not ran since Mother’s Day as been sicky ill and drained. So dreaded this final run of week 7 as felt headachy when I got up and worried I’d have to bail. Well what’d ya know- I took it real slow and it felt good. Sun was out and I have now run 25 mins 3 times. Awesome. Fluorescent jacket disagreed and zip broke meaning it was flapping around for last 5 mins so off to shop for refund feeling a little more confident I should be wearing this stuff.

Sow and steady as we are always saying. It works. Well done.
