Today my body told me to walk!

[primaballerina]

Today, after doing a few 'fast' runs this week my body told me to 'walk'... so I took my son, and my doggies and walked the full 5km route (the one I haven't yet run) as it's a there and back (with a slight uphill gradient return).

Embarrasingly it took me only 5 mintues longer than my single (downhill) 5km run I did about a week ago!

But my knees are thanking me and I used up calories AND, if I want to run tomorrow I can!

So listening to your body is important, and walking is good for you as well.

I will return to my running very soon.

Just wanted to share.

PB.

Absolutely, listening to your body is key!

And walking is absolutely brilliant exercise. I do as much of it as possible now and I'm sure it's as good as running for weight loss.

What a great plan! You got out, you moved and if you want to, you can run tomorrow. Perfect!

Well done for listening to yourself and it sounds like you needed a good leg stretch
