Spring Speed Challenge Mile Number 2

I’ve not actually managed much running this week as Bella Dogger has had a bit of a rough week, and then Merlin got neutered on Thursday and couldn’t be left for long. So all I’ve done was a very gentle trot along the beach to get me used to running on sand again, that I used W1: R1 of C25K for last Monday.

Still, I was determined to get out today, so after I’d walked them both and put the ‘cone of shame’ back on his lordship, I headed over to the hill.

I ran pretty much the same route, including a 5 minute warm up walk, followed by a 5 minute jog - I think this time it was longer at the far end than last time, but not enough to make a difference.

I genuinely thought I was running slower than last time, and the only thing that kept me going was the encouragement of the dog walkers who were up there!

Couldn’t believe it when I looked at the app when I’d finished my cool down jog, walk, and stretches, to find I’d done it quicker!

Bella’s much better thanks.

And Merlin was jumping out of his skin last night. Going to take him a decent on lead walk this morning, then give him some brain work later.
