That was different

After a week off to let my feet heal yesterday I sat reading most the day and felt progressively more miserable.Great book though! Today I kept looking at my kindle but didn’t want to waste another day so suggested a run, we discussed what we’d do and decided on some intervals. After our five minute walk we set of a bit faster and kept the pace up for 1k then marched the next k then ran another k not quite so fast then did a few intervals then a walk to cool down. Fastest kilometer ever, fastest overall speed for 35 minutes but best yet closest to 5k we’ve done. With the 5 minute warm up walk we are over 4.5k

The plan is the next run will be long and slow and if we don’t get bored we are going to try and do 5k and the run after will be a walk up the long hill jog along the top and jiggle down the other side

I love running and Willow is still smiling but may be dropping off to sleep 😴

Thanks Buddy, each time they flare I promise myself it won’t stop me running but it’s a rest well enjoyed although so frustrating that I can’t always run....then i look back to May when I could barely walk and with both hands and feet in a silly mess I couldn’t even cut my food up so I am managing psoriasis better and still improving running fitness

I so appreciate comments to my posts too thanks

It was lovely thank you and we started out feeling fresh from the week break, can’t wait for our long easy run on tuesday really hoping to cover 5k even if some of it’s walking at beginning and end, If past experience is anything to go by I have about 7 weeks before the psoriasis flares and makes running impossible for a week or two
