Week 1 Run 2

Yesterday, since it was a rest day I went for a 5 mile bike ride, apart from 2 rides with Mrs LeeU, my eldest daughter, her husband and our 3 grandchildren, was the only riding I'd really done since being 13-14 and boy, did I know about it!

For those people wondering about social distancing, yes, we observed the rules at all times, which was very hard with the grandkids!

Anyway, back to the scheduled program, up this morning, took a little longer to get going and that 'paid' me back with it being warmer when I started.

Week 1 run 2 now complete, I'm using the app this time around, so far anyway, so I can listen to my own playlists. The first time it plays up I'll switch to the podcasts which are always on my phone.

Run 3 planned for Friday, I may have a shorter ride tomorrow, I'll limit it to 3 miles I think until I get 'better' at it, especially the hills.

Who-ever said cycling was easier than running was sooooo wrong!

Happy running everyone.

Hi Floss, I'm always well (to a point). I hope you and Mr OldFloss are well too?

It's like the old joke, a rattlesnake once bit me, after several hours of excruciating pain, the rattlesnake died.
