Sometimes there ain't no rhyme nor reason !!

CR3 today, and an interesting and joyful one. I have a multitude of children and sometimes they want to come with me, sometimes they need a gentle nudge. I've started to become a nerd and have actually made a spreadsheet 🤓🤭 (it will happen to you too, maybe) I've noticed that when either daughter comes with me, it's slowsville (more than normal y'know) and when my youngest boy comes with, it's the reverse. Maybe too fast.

So anyways. I only had 1 day recovery instead of the 2, and my sleep last night was trash, only 6 hrs instead of the normal 9, so I wasn't expecting great things, but blow me every single element that can be measured, measured better. Progress without effort, how doth that work 🤔

Loving running, like really really loving it, maybe not quite as much as snowboarding, but it's close, and cheaper 🤐 just can't wait for lighter nights.

Yep I agree! No rhyme nor reason...I do think that since we’ve started running in autumn/winter that come spring we should be find things easier! Ever hopeful! I’m loving it too and I don’t quite know why?!

If you alternate the kids, you’ve got a readymade training programme. 😂

I suppose, although the girls ain't good for speed, conversation or stamina 🤭🤣
