Week 4 run 2 done - swamped with greenfly

[BrumGez121]

After being poorly all week I finally managed to do my 2nd run of week 4. Boy I’ve missed it. Did anyone else get swamped with greenfly this afternoon? They were crazy - flew up my nose and all sorts 🤦🏻‍♀️ Maybe it’s because I run alongside the canal. But still, glad to have it under my belt - thinking of doing an additional week 4 run to be ready for week 5 later next week 🏃‍♀️

How about a light spray of insect repellent before you head out? Just try to avoid your forehead as once you start to sweat and repellent gets in your eyes, you’ll know about it! 😭

Great idea! Will try that on my next run 🏃‍♀️

Great job after being ill especially. Water does attract the insects a little... canals are nice flat routes though so it’s viva and the. Enjoy run 3
