Woo hoo new shoes and a PB

[Frenc]

Good morning all!

So up I got nice and early for a 6k run, a bit worried and a bit excited to try my new shoes out. Of course they felt different , but with more room in the toe box I wasn’t scrunching my right foot up, so my shin and my calf didn’t hurt! Bliss!!! It gave me the chance to concentrate on how my feet are in the air and I realised I’ve been constantly flexing them, and as soon as I let them relax, I got a 1k PB! 😊😊😊.

I had one of those moments when the sun was just waking up and the field I was running along looked beautiful and I thought, ah, this is why I do it. It didn’t last long ‘cos then I had to go up a hill 😆.

Anyway, off to the wonderful world of work, I hope everyone has a smashing day. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👍👍👍

Aaaah bliss, and lots of wiggle room! Methinks I was a bit silly up to now, but never too old to learn 😆.

[Blackberrypie Half Marathon]

Sounds great, no wonder you felt freer and faster when you weren't having to scrunch up your feet!

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Blackberrypie]

Ha ha yes, release the feet! Thank you 😊.

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Thank you BrianUK. 😊😊😊.

[sparky66 Half Marathon]

AHH new shoes,how exciting!!!Wow Frenc you are speedy 🏃‍♀️💨

Well done sounds like a lovely Run ,well maybe not the hill part 🤣

There's a bit on my route when I turn the bend, a hill with grazing cattle..it always gives me 'one of those moments' 🙏

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

Yes those moments make it all worth it! How are you feeling after yesterday’s brilliant HM? 😊😊😊

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to Frenc]

Surprisingly ok 👍😊 ThanksI went into town yesterday afternoon for some shopping,I think the walking eased the muscles 😀

But I'm having a lazy day today, binge watching handmaid's tale 👍

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

Ooooh I binge watch that as well! It’s pretty disturbing isn’t it 😳! I don’t think ladies running would be allowed in Gilead, I think that’s what it’s called. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️. Apart from running away. Enjoy 😊.
