Just had a lovely run, probably one of the most enjoyable I’ve had during the programme.I decided to mix it up again, just run without planning a route and turn round at the halfway bell. It was such a beautiful morning birds singing, woodpeckers pecking! I headed for the beach and the sea was a millpond. All of this distracted me from the toxic 10 and before I knew it I was halfway along the prom and it was time to head back. So glad I went out even earlier than usual as it’s already beginning to feel warm out there.

So, one more to go-I’m actually quite excited 😜

Off to do my yoga stretches now!

Did it...it was hot!! I'm going to admit to start it wasn't my easiest run my legs felt heavy but eased in lovely. Like you it was over before I knew it. But today what was most significant I haven't noticed until today. it was recovery!! After my run I felt great, I wasn't exhausted gasping for breath, I recovered so quickly!! Another personal milestone🙂

Go you!! It is certainly a tad warm out there now- although I’m stuck in my “office” ( spare room) WFH. 😕

Doesn’t it just show how good the programme is in preparing the body for what comes next? I’ve noticed too that I recover quickly. After a poor run the other day I’ve been paranoid about keeping up my fluids and I’m sure that helps. I still don’t drink enough water but more than I did!

yeah I have been thinking the same so have upped my water intake the last few days, maybe that helped?? its easier to remember to drink more when its warm!!

Sounds like a great run, well done!

This lovely weather is making early or late runs cooler and so nice and peaceful.

Best of luck for your graduation run 👍🏻
