Ran slightly further out than expected today due to a footpath being closed - felt good to test my sense of direction through my local woods! That means I’m currently writing this during a nice (LONG) cool down walk back home 🤣.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think I might be a runner?! I’m starting to enjoy the runs more and more each time and I know that I definitely have another 5 minutes in me which is promising!

A bit gutted I didn’t reach 4k today (but that’s just the perfectionist in me talking), however I’m so proud of myself as there’s no way I would have even considered running for so long 6 weeks ago!

Very encouraging to read, well done,

Runner! How nice you run around a lake as well. Must be a lovely bonus to your training. Kind regards.

Thankyou! The lake is really lovely to run around and usually I’d do one of the smaller ones so I was quite amazed at how big that one was!
