My route choice yesterday was, it turned out, stupidly unrealistic! There is a 4 mile race in July where I live so I found out the route and thought I’d give it a try yesterday. I thought my emotionally difficult week would see me running up the steep hills easily. Turns out it wont! As my husband delicately pointed out later, I’ve been running a fairly flat, undulating route for 13 weeks and then I decided to tackle a Mount Everest type hill run! Well...when you put it like that!!! Lol
Still had an hours worth of brisk steep uphill walking and not so steep uphill, flat and downhill running. Every little helps 🙄

BUT you did feel optimistic to try so high 5. I had a terrible run today legs like lead but pushed through that...I guess sometimes we need to reassess where we are and go with it. It is a big learning curve this running but I have learnt there are good days followed by bad and visa versa so going with the flow. Well done you for doing a 4 mile race I am doing a hospice run next month that is just 3k (but hilly) and I am dreading that let alone another mile...
