September 3, 2024,Morning Run

Took it nice and easy this morning, running the Silksworth Parkrun route.
Rolled my ankle (again 🙄)...what's new...on Friday. And it still hurts a bit. I went out with support on the ankle. But ended stopping and taking it off 1mi in due to it hurting my foot more. Can never win 😄 🤣.

Quite happy with how that went this morning. Certainly a fresh start 😄

No fast time in this "summer" weather this morning. Just a nicely paced run.

Windy af today so every step at times was A for effort 😄. Saying that, I seemed to manage it alright and I was even able to push (pretty much consistently) on the last mile, at 8min mile pace.

Costa to end the afternoon

After working 28hrs in 2x days, I wasn't sure if, when the alarm went off, I'd get out of bed for this. But it was a great (yet crisp), sunny morning. So I just had a tootle around to wake myself up.

Decided to run my home Parkrun this morning at Silksworth. Although not my preferred Parkrun (the 2.5x banks to finish are still to this day a killer!), I still enjoyed the catch-up with my uncle and cousin 😃

A fairly decent paced run this morning. Running a bit quicker than I normally do. Died off on the 2x banks from hell at the end a little bit.

Attended Silksworth again as it was cousins 250th parkrun at that event. Just a tootle around to keep the legs movin
