Holiday run

Didn’t want to miss a week while I’m on holiday so brought my running gear with me. This was my first time on the road as I usually run on the athletic track back home. Was a bit apprehensive at first but soon got over it. It was a lovely route, so much to see and way more interesting than the track. Overall an enjoyable run.

I ran on a track years ago but much prefer the road, I wonder if you will add in road runs when you get home?

I hope so. I think I need to vary my runs more when I get home. It was a lot easier being somewhere unfamiliar, so now I’ve been out on the road the idea doesn’t seem as scary.

Ah you did so well. I'm back from 2 weeks holiday and couldn't find any runs I was comfortable enough doing (the campsite was too "public" and the local roads either pavement-less lanes or through woodland and I just wasn't confident enough to try!) Itching to get back on another run and hoping after 2 weeks off I haven't slipped too far! I was due to start week 8, but instead going back to beginning of week 7 again and see how I go!

I surprised myself but I really didn’t want to miss anymore runs with just getting started again. I find I’m better when I stick to a regular routine. Good luck with 7 😊
