So many races start with a short run or involve sections I have to push my bike that it makes sense for me to do a bit of running. Once I get into it I really enjoy it as well. I
meant to run once a week this year but have failed on that one. Still there is still time to enjoy the fitness benefits so today I started July as I mean to continue and went running. It wasn't far (I only did 20minutes as I know I will hurt myself otherwise) it certainly wasn't fast. But I got out there and did it!
Well done! I set myself a target of 700 miles to run this year and well .. oops. Falling over at the beginning of this month hasn't helped and I'm not sure my hip is 100% yet but you've inspired me to get a pair of running shoes on soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way! Don't let missing it in June deter you,keep it going! =)

Shouldn't this post be titled 'start again as I mean to go on'?! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat minds Trio - 'im indoors has suddenly decided to get into trail running, so I've so far joined him on 3 short weekly runs...
It's good time of year to start - the temps & light evenings are making it all a lot more appealing. We'll be a lot more limited for trails locally once we need lights...do you have loads of options?
Once it gets dark I wouldn't want to run on my local trails on my own. But sometimes Ali comes with me. I actually ran on the road yesterday!
ReplyDeletegood luck. and remember to stretch.
ReplyDeleteI did stretch
ReplyDeleteI just joined the gym opposite work so hoping to get some running in at lunchtimes, I'll just have to remember to save some energy for riding home.
