Tried shorter and faster

So aware today is last pre puppy day decided to see if I could go much faster if I cut the distance (3.58km). Quite an uphill downhill uphill route but turns out these old legs and lungs had more in β€˜em than I thought. So whenever I get back out there will definitely mix up shorter faster runs with longer leisurely ones! Happy running folks πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸΆ
