So I’m sat here with a freshly brewed coffee, looking at the glorious sunshine and mild breeze and am thinking what great weather to do my W6R2... but oh no, I went out earlier when it was heaving ... stair rods ... cold and windy... but, I did it!
Set off at usual time but thought it might rain as the ground was wet and the sky grey and Alexa had advised it could and the minute I turned out of my street it started. I have taken advice from you kind people and wore a baseball cap so my glasses did not get covered and I could see (an improvement from a previous wet run).
Run went well found a great pace for the first 10mins and was actually disappointed when told to slow down for the walk. The final 10 mins was good for 5 mins then thought I’d pick up the pace ... but the combination of uphill and perhaps too hard saw me slow at the end from a steady pace. But all done!
Was like a drowned rat and sodden but as I said I could see (you have no idea how glad I am of that tip as without my glasses I have the vision of a mole ... not good for running and crossing roads!)
Feeling very pleased and eager for R3 ... did my cool down stretches and 2.5 hours on have no aches or pains.
So again thank you to all you wonderful forum members for encouragement, inspiration and superb advice... especially the baseball cap ... have I mentioned that yet ?!😂
