Park run on a windy sandy beach on Saturday gave me a strength work out like no other.. so much so, I completed a 5K on the Sunday in record time!

Good to hear from you Floss that your ankle exercises are going well, yes that was amazing news regarding Sundays record breaking 5K, I think you said you actually ran🏃 a 6K.😊

I did 6K...but the speed? was for the 5K ! bit.. I was thrilled!! I have settled over the past year into a 36 to 38 minute, 5K pattern, so knocking a bit off is a bonus!

My ankles are really feeling better!

How you kept going and managed to finish that 5k Parkrun on the soft sand, when everything must have been screaming stop!! ✋ shows great strength Floss. Having that lovely Steve chap running with you must have helped, but aaaargh!😰😥😣

So pleased that the bonus for your hard efforts are finding an increase in pace and a lightness to your running! Long may it continue 😊xxx
