Run day yay!!! lousy nights sleep and didn’t wake til after 9, my last day off (they went quick) and slightly sore calf, so a recovery run for us, a little joggle on our favourite track, just over two and a half k and Willow said enough I wasn’t ready to stop so ran round the river, stopped a minute to talk to a lady with a collie (i can’t resist) and jogged lightly towards the incline.... saw a family of 4 and a girl about 10 saw me and sprinted off up the hill, so off i went and nearly caught her up she grinned and i ran on slowly and panting like a panting thing trying to slow my breathing

Calf a little sore but hardly at all just feel it so a good recovery run and some fresh air

Hot chocolate with a bit of cream in is delicious

Nah, running on days off which means mostly twice a week but that’s ok until lighter evenings arrive
