Tight thighs are a good thing - right?!

Well for us ladies, if tight thighs means toned thighs then its all good surely - but try telling that to my poor thighs this morning!!

Completed W5R1 and it was a good run; felt good and breathing came together eventually. A beautiful crisp, sunny morning helped make it a really positive and enjoyable experience. Mentally I was right up there though the thighs were screaming a bit at the end but hopefully all the stretches will help get me ready for R2 on Tuesday - bring it on!
