wooohie!!! What a blustery day!!! Channelling my inner Winnie thePooh today !! Same shape as him too actually!! 😂

I really enjoyed it too although. Nearly got blown off my feet going round a corner a couple of times!! I ran out towards the Tarka Trail today foolishly and of course the wind was belting off the river but it was quite warm, weather app says 17 degrees!! Positively balmy. Did my 12 1/2 mins and turned round again to run back

Usually I am glancing at my watch “ 5 mins done , only another 20, that 4 more lots of 5…” etc but this morning there seemed to be no time at all between Laura saying “ youve run for 5 minutes”” you’re halfway now” and “ you’ve 5 mins left”. In fact I actually checked my watch in case the pod cast had skipped. But no it just seemed to fly by and when I got home and checked my stats it was the fastest I’d run in ages too.! Knocked about 17 secs a mile off this time. Go me!! 💪🏃‍♀️

I’m going to watch that I don’t get too cocky now because I seem to be gaining fitness far faster than I usually do after a period on the IC. One more 25 min run this week then week 8! It’s getting like really running now again. 😬🫤
