Woh yes! Turned that negative headspace around. 3.8k this morning. Increasing route again.

Nice new pair of running leggings had arrived yesterday and last night I refused more wine ๐Ÿ˜ณ saying โ€œI am going for a run early tomorrow.โ€ How grown up is that? And, ok rather smug.

Dog ๐Ÿ• was a pain trying to lunge into hedges and crossing my path unexpectedly turning me into a hurdler.

And ๐Ÿคฌ the VItality app is not working for me which is annoying.

But, a good run and start to the day.

Have a great weekend all ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒธ

Well done Comfort! You are one run ahead of me so look forward to reading your post so I know what to expect! Dogs are such a joy most of the time but can certainly add to the complexity of your run!!

Thank you. I love taking him but this morning I just didnโ€™t have the extra strength to get him out of the hedges!

I felt a little out of breath today, but Iโ€™d gone too fast in a couple of places. Steady is the way ๐Ÿ˜Š

Yes slowly slowly! Tia just stops dead, usually at the top of a hill so I have to run back up to get her. But yesterday she was brilliant, well done again we are nearly there!!

Well done Comfort. I'm just building myself up for wk8 r1 this morning and trying a new route too. Don't get chance to do many morning runs - great way to start weekend.

Hi, Iโ€™m thinking about evening running again now the days are longer. Thereโ€™s a good forest track I like. Itโ€™s just sometimes I canโ€™t motivate myself after work. Hope W8 goes well for you.

What! No wine on a Friday night!? Things must be getting serious!

Brilliant work Comfort. It sounds like you ran with a spring in your step ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ. Enjoy your day ๐Ÿ˜Š

well done. I used to run with our dog years ago until he got spooked and tripped me up. Face onto path....... One front tooth later I decided it was very dangerous. Be careful!

Ouch! Yes, Iโ€™ve come pretty close to that. Hurdling isnโ€™t my thing.

Have the wine tonight. It's well deserved. Positivity is the way forward. Well done!!
