A little rest

Feeling happy again this morning after my last 2 runs and not feeling very happy I took a rest day and went back out this morning. I decided to run for 20 minutes rather than 30 and that helped.

I think I am going to stay at 20 minutes until I feel a little happier.

Have a great day all 😁😁

If you're happy at 20 minute runs for now that's ok. Do what feels right for you. 😊😊
