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.

Ooh not sure about pillows. How could I work out what the correct pillow is?

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™„
