So today is a dry start. Knowing the local park is going to be a tad wet on the park run route I chose a quiet country lane near to me! Things are beginning to fall back into place!
why do I like running outdoors?
It’s seeing the wild flowers and the wildlife being in nature I can’t do trail runs at the moment I want to go with someone that knows them or I walk them 1st!
I ’run’ early morning beside the river (to avoid being seen by anyone I know!) and have loved seeing the trees burst into flower. I did W3R2 today and watching a heron fly almost took my mind off my tired legs.
How is W4? Seems a big step up from W3
I was thinking before the 1st run I might need to run week three again. However when I got out there and the three min run was not so bad I carried on the 1st 5min run I took it slowly and got through it! It’s a real battle mind over matter! I am sticking to set days for my runs Monday Thursday and Saturday!
Saturday is park run day so I add my 3rd run to that and enjoy the walk back with little extra jogs!
Seeing that ‘mind over matter’ advice on here quite often. Currently trying to up my water intake to improve my stamina 🤞🏻
when I 1st started running I couldn’t run without water and was drinking all the way round! Now I have a handheld water bottle and only have a few sips dry mouth has stopped! I tend to have a drink of water and a banana before I leave home.
Love the picture. It’s so nice to be able to enjoy the view as you’re running along. I feel exactly the same as you about running outside. ❤️
