One run to go....

Today was my second 30 minute run and I’d like to say it was easier than the first ... but I’d be lying. I was 13 seconds slower per km but I’ll take that. I was manning the phones yesterday in place of my son, who has gone off in holiday, and didn’t drink my usual water quota. So I don’t think that helped and I could have packed it in anytime after about 7 minutes in....BUT I didn’t!! I just kept thinking how I love running in Spring and Summer, and how lovely the hedgerows look, and the bunnies will soon be out along the Tarka Trail ( if they haven’t all drowned!!!!) and I kept plodding on. And plodding it was!!! No gazelle like leaping today just plod plod plod. But I’m glad I went out and ran AND it didn’t rain AND The sun was out.

I changed my route up a bit and intended to go the other way along the riverside but because of the high tides and flooding there was so much driftwood along the pavement I couldn’t so had to run through the back of the town a bit. Not many pedestrians about so that was no problem.

Happy running people and keep safe and healthy.

And wash your hands!!!! 😁😁

Well done. I ran today and really didn’t want to but feel great that I have completed another run.

Well done seeing it through. I had a very similar run yesterday on my wk9 run 2 but kept at it. 💪 👟

Well done for keeping going! Keep safe yourself too - have you seen the tiktok video of Gloria Gaynor washing her hands to I will survive - a tiny bit of cheer in these scary times 🙂
