A foggy 5K

I guess you can’t have everything…after a week of wind, rain, storms and flooding, today we woke up to foghorns. But this means no wind so that in itself is a bonus.

Haven’t done many 5Ks lately but the toxic 10 sailed by so I let Ebony chose .. and needless to say she chose the longer route!

Legs did start to feel a little heavy after 25 mins and I wondered if I would regret my decision - then realised we had upped the pace, so no wonder my singing was off!

Ebony pulled me up the only incline which because we were doing reverse route meant it came towards the end 🤦🏼‍♀️and I wasn’t sorry to hear when we hit 5K.

All in all quite satisfying and I may have inadvertently run a PB for my (not)parkrun today! It’s certainly there or thereabouts.

Sun is just starting to break through and I’m feeling quietly smug that I can enjoy the day ahead. Have a lovely weekend everyone 😎
