After being awake for a couple of hours last night not sure why might be excitement as my little french granddaughter arrived yesterday Izia, 6lbs! She was two weeks early! Hopefully I will get to see her in February as she lives on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean !
Her mum was my last Au pair for my daughter! She became part of our family more so than the previous ones! We have become part of her family! I digress!
I had to be a pedicure model for one of the trainees at my local salon this morning and with the sun out I thought I would take my new feet for a run! So Run 2 week 7 off round the park run course making sure I put the correct car park code into my app ( 😂).
Setting of at a comfortable pace after my 5 mins warm up walk! Once I am in the zone that’s where I am! I run with bone conductors headphones on so I can listen to Jo but hear what’s going on around me! Lots of walkers on the footpaths enjoying the weather!
I always set markers so I know if I have run further than last time! My legs had been a bit leaden on Monday and I had an asthmatic cough on my last run! Inhalers on board today and Hayfever under control!
This run felt more like my old running self jogging along quite happily! As I said before I set mental markers on my runs! So ran from the park out to the lake round the whole lake watching the geese swans & ducks on the water! Saturday the 25mins ended as I was about to head back through the woods today I was through the woods and over the first two bridges over the river by the time Jo said time to slow down! Only a few hundred metres further but better than nothing!
I jogged and walked back from that point until I was back at my car! So another 5k done ✅ I felt very much like I could have carried on running but being sensible I gave myself a breather! A lot more running and less walking today!
