Transition Run No. 3

This morning Mrs LeeU and I headed out for out Saturday run, outdoors. We tried the local canal path and Mrs LeeU had the target of running for 10 minutes outside, she is fine on the treadmill and has gotten to week 6 but with the air being cold and the exercise it sets off her asthma.

We had the usual 5 minute-ish walk, we weren't following any of the weekly runs, just freestyling if you wish.

We made it to 10 minutes before Mrs LeeU had to stop to catch her breath and have a puff on her inhaler, so we turned around and headed back the way we came and after a minute or two started to jog again.

We covered just over 2 miles including the walking sections, we may try later in the day next week so the air has had chance to warm up a little.

We'll try for 12.5 minutes next time.

Happy running everyone.
