Loved it today!

[Scout37]

I'm beginning to think although I might be a morning person mainly, I'm definitely an afternoon runner, which is a bit of a surprise to me! I'm really enjoying my late afternoon runs...well, so far anyway!

Today didn't end up being as long in distance as I expected, which was a slight disappointment and proves once and for all I'm rubbish at judging anything that involves numbers. However, I felt great and would have happily carried on had I not had to pass home and go down a long hill...the latter being very inviting but the idea of the long climb back was not so...

Anyway. It went like this: Long steep hill walk warm up. Flattish run, downhill run. Loved that format, felt like I had wings on my heels on that lovely downhill home! Also my fastest time yet, although I have to admit the downhill helped...😁 All in all just over 4.5k. That includes the walking warm up, but it's a tough old climb so I'm claiming it! Running section 3.75k . Average pace for running 8.31! For me, that's flying lol.

I'm happy with that, but most of all happy with how good I felt. Onwards...happy running all!

Excellent numbers Scout. Go you!

Ha, it's the downhill that does it! Cheating perhaps, but so darned enjoyable!

Well done! And the must important thing is that you enjoyed it and it made you feel good. I don’t think I’d fancy the hill outside your house, though 😬

To be honest, I felt good from the word go today. Funny how it works.

I like days like that! Sometimes you get out there and you just know 😊

Well done, it doesn't matter how fast you go. Keep up the good work
