Missed a day. Gave into work pressures and prioritised work over exercise yesterday however caught up today. Did Speed run along the cycle path. Was quite hard going though- mustn't miss another day! Thankfully missed the torrential rain and it was quite sunny. I actuallt managed to overtake another jogger. That was a first! !

Yay! Overtaking on a speed run, perfect 🙂. Missing the odd day won't cause a problem, life will sometimes get in the way, don't be too hard on yourself. The thing to do is to watch it doesn't become a habit. If you're fitting two or three runs into a week there's nothing to worry about. You got out there, well done! 🙂
