Went for a run this evening as soon as the hubby got it in.
It was a bit brass monkeys to say the least but I managed 6km and was pretty chuffed as tonight’s 6km was pretty much two minutes faster than my last 6km on 9th January! I’ve shaved 20 seconds of my pace too! Hoping I can keep up this improvement…
Hopefully something different for tomorrow! 🙂 xxx
So today was quite a laid back day, but needed to do my bit for Juneathon. So this afternoon the Pink One and I walked to collect her brother from the child-minder’s and then a walk home – not saying it was quite a slow walk home, but my Garmin kept pausing!!!
The reason for the slow walk back to home is we did look at the stream, in the beautiful sunny weather with my small people
Then the kids were lucky enough to see a neighbours campervan, and he was kind enough to let them sit in it – he made their day!
There was the walks to and from school to do drop off and pick up and don’t forget the three toes touches!!! All in all, not a bad day!

So for day two of Juneathon, I met up with the lovely Helen of helbels.org.uk for some interval runs this early evening. We took a gentle stroll to Avery Hill Park and then had a gentle jog to warm up. We’re running along and my legs felt so tight, completely like lead (hence the clever title of this blog post!) so we stopped for a moment to stretch out.
We then gently jogged to where we usually do out interval runs, though both admitted that we weren’t really feeling it this evening – a real lack of enthusiasm. Though after a day of studying, it was nice just to get out as it was pleasantly warm though very windy!
We thought we would time how quickly we could run 100m and then we’ll see at the end of Juneathon, by timing ourselves again, whether we have managed to increase our speed.
So for the beginning of Juneathon 100m – 19.5 seconds (will this improve?)
We had a slow jog back, then showed how in to Juneathon we are, we climbed a rope ladder on a climbing frame – I’m a complete wuss and with a total aversion to heights, so one rung height was enough for me!
Then I did a speedy run home – it’s great to feel how quickly I should go to do 5:52 mins a km – if only I could keep it up for a kilometre!!!
Also, don’t forget my two toe touches that I tweeted this morning!!!
