First run after bad cramp

Really pleased this morning. I did a nice really easy 20mns to see how things went. Everything was fine after the bad cramp I had a week ago. It took 5 whole days for the pain to disappear but hopefully I'm back on track.

I also took the advice of some of you not to run to a beat and listened to a Spotify daily mix which there was no way I could have run to the beat and I have to admit made things easier I think. I just bimbled along not knowing what song was coming next so didn't know how long I had run. Did the route I had planned and it was a pleasant 20mns. Will use the music mix again at Parkrun. Hope you are all doing well and keep up the good work in this beautiful weather.
