Week Eight, Run Three

[mummybowles]

This was my first run al-fresco since re-starting C25k. I'd left it a few days since my last run as I felt my knee twinging a little. All ok today so thought I'd brave the great outdoors with the gyms being shut. Took it steady and it was ok. Farewell Week Eight 🏃

Congratulations on almost completing C25K, well done, onwards and upwards to week 9, good luck for your graduation run 🏃🏾 😊

Thank you. So close, I can almost taste it 🏃🏃

Well done you!

My gyms still open, for now 🤞🏻 Found a running track while I was out walking today. Probably looked like an idiot trying it out for sponginess to lessen impact. Seems good. That’s my back up plan.

[mummybowles Graduate in reply to Alvor]

I wish they'd kept all the gyms open - ours was brilliant with their cleanliness etc and they are essential in my opinion for good mental (and obviously physical) health. Hope yours stays open - nice to have the choice for indoors or outside exercise.

Glad your first outdoor run went ok, hope the weather holds for your week 9 runs too! 🌞

[mummybowles Graduate in reply to Peter44]

Thanks. Mine starts tomorrow. How's your Week Nine going?

Glad it went well. Must’ve been nice to have a change of scenery xx

[mummybowles Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Yes I'm extremely nosey and it was great to check out people's gardens. After graduation, I'll find some more scenic routes 🏃

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to mummybowles]

Lol! I know exactly what you mean, plus it’s a great reason to get out of the house at the moment! Xx

[Pugwash Graduate]

Great stats! Treadmills serve a purpose and I use them too, but nothing beats being out there, sun, rain or snow (maybe not snow😬). Nearly there (again!) now - you already know that you can do this!

[mummybowles Graduate in reply to Pugwash]

Thanks. Next time I'll only record the 30 min run (omitting the warm up and cooldown) so it gives a true reflection of pace. It's not very quick but it'll be something to build on 🏃
