45 minutes!

I ran up here yesterday! I’d been getting fed up with my normal route, and been experiencing some pain in my foot and leg, I was starting to dread the runs. I had physio on Friday and we got to the bottom of the foot pain, and yesterday I decided for my long run (I graduated about a month ago)to get in the car and drive somewhere else. Only half a mile away but it was AMAZING. I absolutely loved it, beautiful scenery, pain free. I’d been getting a bit bored with my music so I listened to a Harry Potter audiobook too.

It was hard, as you can see it’s not exactly flat where I live but I managed to keep going even on the uphills. My pace was pretty slow but you can’t do it all. I did 5K in 45 mins but it was mostly a slight incline. The main thing is I enjoyed it.

So to anyone else who is feeling they might be losing their mojo, shake things up and make some changes.
