Week 7 Run 2! Snowy!

I woke up this morning, looked out my window and the snow was coming down thick and fast! So I rushed to get my running gear on and went straight out before the snow became ice πŸ˜‚ I didn’t want to end up having to have loads of days off again!

It was a hard run, I knew I could do it, but I really had to push myself to the end! I managed to speed up a bit for my last minute this time which I didn’t manage to do in run 1 so that’s progress! 😊 I run a small route so I do laps, so an interesting benefit of the snow was getting to see my footprints from the previous lap! I always feel like my run is more of a shuffle πŸ˜‚ but upon seeing my footprints in the snow it turns out my strides are longer than I think they are - I’m running for sure! So that was cool πŸ˜‚ roll on run 3!

Give it a bash! It certainly makes the snow more interesting haha

A cunning plan HexGirl follow the footprints πŸ‘£πŸ‘£ πŸ‘ I'm pretty certain you're not shuffling making the progress you are!! If you're a strava or smart watch user it'll give you a rough guide of your running cadence πŸ€“

I think my health app on my phone measures stuff like that actually! I’ll have to look into it 😊

Just don't get hung up stats and all the tech it'll just clutter your running, I'm all for simple trainer's on and go (clothes of course πŸ˜‚) but naked at the same time πŸ‘

Thank you! I figure if I can get the motivation to go out in the snow I’ll be able to muster the motivation for any run! πŸ˜‚
