Week 7 run 1 - shame about the cars!

Didn’t feel great going out tonight, my tennis elbow has been playing up all day.

But out we went and pushed on, and oh my goodness what a difference in the traffic levels!

Thankfully most of our run is around the park but just getting there seems like a different world to how it was to just two days ago.

I know traffic is a fact of life but I have so enjoyed the peace and quiet while doing this up until now. All good things must come to an end.

The run went well though and we were just a shade faster than last time so all good but I thought Jo was never going to say that we’d finished! 😂

Well done on your run! I’ve not long been back from a bike ride! The traffic around here is much busier, too! It’s been a blessing having little or no traffic!

Yes, the traffic is building up everywhere it seems. I run mainly on very small country lanes so I’m lucky to still see very few vehicles, but I think I’ll have to switch to just fields and tracks soon. Well done on an even better pace, despite the tennis elbow no doubt being a distraction. Not many more runs until we complete the challenge!

Well done!

There is definitely more traffic here too it’s amazing how I’ve noticed the difference it makes. While I obviously don’t want lockdown to go on any longer than necessary I’ll certainly miss the quiet roads!
