First run out of "my" park!

[PurplePanda42]

I've been really anxious all the way through this and haven't been able to run anywhere other than the park nearest me - I don't know how many times I've run round it but I think I go round about 8-10 times each run!!! Sometimes I mix it up and run the opposite way round

But today I had to take the car to the garage so thought I would take it early and run back - only took 20 minutes but that's enough in this heat - and survived running on pavements, on a different route! And I remembered to start (and stop) my tracking app (fitotrack) that someone on here recommended!

Would like to say the world's my oyster, but have a feeling I'll be back in my park on Wednesday!!

Good for you. I've only recently ventured out of my local park too. I run early in the morning and it was always really quiet so I didn't feel as self conscious huffing and puffing my way around it because nobody could see me. However I was starting to get bored of the repetition so have started trying a few different routes out on the road. And do you know what? Nobody was pointing or staring or laughing at me. In fact nobody that I passed on the Street or in cars even noticed me and it felt quite liberating. I'll head back to the park now and again but it's great to have different options now. Well done you on stepping out of your comfort zone too 🙂
