My morning off from the gym but still woke at 4.45 am so thought I would get up and do my 2nd run of w3.

OUCH I cant walk OUCH my glutes I did squats,lunges and leg press yesterday OUCH oh well no pain no gain as I hobbled to the door

Now the dog wants to come she knows it's not a gym day. Ok we can go round the field.

.Come on laura surely my 3 mins are up this rutted field doesn't help. Why are you sitting down i shout to the dog, her look says no way am i going round this field a 3rd time.

Phew managed it, back home dog in bed shattered me going for a shower, thank you laura hard but worth it back at it Friday but this time round the park, and I may give the glutes a rest...well until tomorrow.

Well done for getting out and doing it. I find it difficult to find the balance on exercise that allows me to train for my long distance walk ( I am doing a long distance walking holiday next month) and does not tire my legs out for running... Yesterday I did both running and a long walk , today I will rest my legs as the are needed for a 25 minute run tomorrow. Good luck in getting the balance right.

Good luck on your walk. I love walking but this is the first time I've attempted running xx
