Run 1 Week 8 4k

After a couple of rest days and a tough couple days at work we just ran 28 minutes and if there were a few steps walking in the middle that’s fine because we kept moving and covered 4k which is amazing 😉 for us

I felt drained and Colin got cramp so we know we haven’t been drinking as much water

Monday on the beach wore us out and added to our tan we sat on the beach grinning at our runners feet we both have brown legs and white feet. It wasn’t so funny when i realised how burnt mine were though and still sore

The photo is our favourite beach not where we run

If you were beach running on Monday that would explain the extra aches, it’s a lot harder than road running... but a great workout. Congrats on the 4K... all milestones deserve a celebration
