Nearly all the ducks in a row.

Got out there and found nearly all the ducks lined up, mind, mental strength, will power, my music and coach Laura from the app. Always one steps out of line that being the weather great for first 20 minutes then pissed down for last five minutes of the run and the cool down walk. It’s taken a week for them bloody ducks to line up first run since last Saturday so Week 7 Run 3 finally completed. As a result a great relief off the mind now. Showered and having tea to warm up with a cuddle from one of the dogs and watching the good old repeats of Endeavour. Hopefully the ducks will line up quicker for the next run. Good luck everyone hope all is going well and that you are all fit and healthy.

Yep getting back from injury knowing completed it before twice. Second time only earlier this year before the big injury. Need them all lined up again but hopefully sooner than a whole week.

I wasn’t intending to go but the mind started to play games ‘you haven’t run since Saturday you better get out there’ I was out Parkrun volunteering this morning in the bloody rain. So pleased to see summer here! So went in what started off dry but certainly made up for it in the last ten minutes.

Been there done it except never had an injury until after four years of running. So on way back slow and steady so taking time.

Bloody ducks, never line up and stand still when you want them to!😂💦🦆☔🦆

Well done though, I'm sure the whiskey tasted all the better for it 🥃
