Injuries, illness and arthritis have been preventing me running 5km over the last few months, aided and abetted by the weather. I have now joined a gym and hope to be able to do some strength exercises as well as some cross training. It is 2.2 miles away according to Strava, so I run there, do my exercises and have a swim to stretch out. I get the bus most of the way back! My problem is I just can’t face adding in a run round a park I pass to increase the distance of my run to reach the 5k. I thought if I posted here I might motivate myself to cross that hurdle!
I was running the 5k at parkruns pre illness, now the weather has made the course so muddy I just can’t face it (it has actually been cancelled a couple of times as it’s been so bad).
On the plus side the new trainers I got last year, Brooks adrenaline, fit great and have not caused blisters anywhere.
There must be something in the water...
(Running)Toe in the water 
Walking (well running actually) on Water
Graduate- walks on water!
Hit a wall, so depressed
