Wednesday Weekly Virtual 5k

[Birdlady64]

I was going to run on Wednesday morning, but the gremlins forced me to stay in bed because of the wind 👿💨. The gremlins kept gnawing away for the rest of the day and I really didn't want to run after work at all👿☹️

I had to force myself out. I did manage 5k - but it was far from relaxed and easy🥵. I knew I hadn't hydrated enough the day before - I don't think red wine counts 🍷🤣. Maybe the 60 minutes on Saturday took more out of me than I thought, plus my swim on Tuesday. It was more like a toxic 25 with feet and legs like lead. But at least I managed it. It was a Wednesday, so not totally in-line with the rules, but that's my Weekly Virtual 5k

Happy long weekend everyone. I hope you have got your thermals out, especially those of you "Up North"!🥶🥶

Longer runs can take it out of your legs, we are on a plan and running 4 times a week and being back to feeling a bit more tired and achy so well done for that run

Thanks!

It was an effort but I'm glad I did it.

Running 4 times a week sounds pretty tough to me - so way to go you two 👏👏👏

I've signed up for ju-jus Magic 10 plan next month (OMG that's only 4 days away 😱) so let's see how that goes..

Hi, just read your post, great getting out there. Of course red wine counts!! I’m two glasses down as I write this 🤣 Enjoy your weekend.

Somehow I’ve got behind with posts this week! Well done for the 5K, even though you weren’t feeling your best. We all have days like that 👏👏👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👍

Thank you. I was relieved when that one was over, but as always was glad I did it.

Not too cold here yet in Manchester for running in tee shirt and shorts. Would be a bit chilly if not running, though.

👍

I think Monday is meant to be colder - single figures here first thing in the morning. I might need to wear those long tights for the first time 🥶
