Soft, refreshing rain β˜”οΈ

W8r2 done this morning. Enjoyed it and feel great at the moment, enjoying the post run afterglow πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Nice and steady again, but pleasingly slightly quicker than 8.1 (though not intentionally!)

Also seemed to gain a neck injury which I’m guessing in terms of running injuries ranks among the more unusual 😲 Around 10 mins in the rain really started coming down, so I manoeuvred my jacket back on (having just taken it off as I was hot). Somehow managed to really pull my neck in the process 😬 Hoping some gentle stretching will relieve it...

If you’re heading out today have a great run! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Aah the post run after glow! Well done! πŸ‘ sorry about the neck!

Do you have the correct pillow for the position you sleep in? May help in the long term.

Great running. You've maybe just jerked your neck while running and trying to sort your jacket at the same time hopefully a few circular movements in each direction will help. Well done you 😊😊

Thanks Buddy 😊 Yeah I think that’s what must have happened. Still feeling tight and painful at the moment πŸ™„
