Week 6, Run 2 - what a difference two days make!

If the first run of week 6 was a challenge, this morning wasn’t at all and the explanation? Well I put it down to the correct choice of socks, testing the technology the night before so I didn’t have to fiddle with my phone and the podcast en route and two rest days that didn’t include extreme gardening! I feel proper chuffed with today’s effort - can’t quite believe there are just ten runs between me and the “finishing line”. Bring it on!

Brilliant !

It's amazing what a difference there can be between 2 runs. Plus magic socks ? Can't go wrong there : )

I hear you on how tiring gardening can be, sometimes it's a full body workout

Well done! I agree with you re the socks. I'm very picky with which ones I will wear 😂 x

Well done... I set everything out the night before to cut out faffage time :) That did NOT stop me being unable to fins one of my four sets of earbuds!!!

Go you! Extreme gardening is great non impact exercise for rest days!

Looking out at our garden wilderness, my rest days are pretty much spoken for for the foreseeable! Have a super day!
