Glad I went out!

Well on Monday I missed my very first run since starting in January (creature of habit, always ran Monday, Wednesday and Friday) I hurt my back while gardening at the weekend. So this morning, back still a bit sore but I thought “come on, you are making excuses!” So I went out with no expectations, told Alan “I’ll only be a few minutes” so I set off. Sun was almost shining and it was pleasantly warm. I took a slightly different route that goes into the forest away from the main pathway. I was all alone just trees, a few rabbits and even 3 deer 🦌 in the distance across the field that borders the forest. I kept running. I did 25 minutes before looking at my watch, took off my light sleeved top as it was getting quite warm and ran another 10 minutes.

I was amazed when I looked at Strava, only saved the first 25 minutes but it was an average of 7:30 per Km which given it was on quite rough terrain and over some hilly bits I was really pleased.

Looking forward to Friday now!

Hello Phdgranny, sorry to hear about your back but glad to hear it hasn’t stopped you for long. Your run today sounds wonderful and how lovely that you weren’t aware of the time and ran a really good pace and time. I hope you’re proud too. 🤗

Yes I was pleased because I really worried that without the discipline of C25K I wouldn’t keep going x
