Week 9, Run 2

A few aches before and plenty more after, but it went OK. Tried to take it slowly but ended up covering the exact same distance in the 30 minutes. Highlight: seeing a heron fly over. Lowlight: have to go to work now when I want to go to bed.

Thanks. I don’t work nights, thankfully. It was a 6am morning run and I wanted to go back to bed instead of straight on to work. That was many hours ago so I’m even more shattered now. Going to bed!

You wont need luck, enjoy your run and go get your badge...45 min hilly run for me in the morning probably in the rain

Thank you. Wow! 45 minutes. You must have progressed very quickly. I hope the rain holds off and that the hills aren’t too unforgiving.
