Week 9, Run 2

Heavy rain this morning and I was up just too late to do a run before the "must-dos" started, so I did a whole bunch of exercises, steps around the house and stretches, then ran straight after school run.

This was the first time I've not done the walk to begin with - as my body was already "worked out".

I felt there was more in the tank, but 30 minutes came and I stopped. Immediately.

Th best bit was trying to stop the counter on my phone - I was drenched, everything near me was drenched, I opened up eight random apps on the phone trying to get to where I wanted, with my finger just sliding randomly across the screen. In the end the phone clearly thought I was in severe distress and called my wife!

I am now changed, dry(ish), and waiting for my coffee to bubble; before today's work begins, I reckon I've earned a few minutes rest!

Happy running!

Well done you, and a lovely view too. Just the graduation run to go now which I'm sure you'll absolutely nail. I got out at 6.30 this morning just as the first drops of rain were falling. By the time I'd finished my 4k it was raining much more heavily. Still, breakfast, shower and then a visit to hairdressers I feel like a million dollars! Happy running🏃‍♂️☺️
