This is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done, so I'm bloody well going to document it!!
This week's been a mixed bag thanks to the awful winter cold everyone seems to be suffering from. After completing the #DOrunning25days challenge on Christmas Day, I ended up taking a whole week off running, which is pretty unheard of these days. Bad weather meant our parkrun plans for New Year's Day were cancelled, so my first run of the year was the DOdaily coaching time trial on the second.
Worried I'd have lost all my fitness, and always a bit cautious about running around the river in the dark, I was nervous! Didn't need to be though, managed a good time (27:16) despite coughing all the way around.
The next run was Saturday, where we headed to Battlestead Croft parkrun in Burton. It was freezing cold, I couldn't feel my feet until the third lap of a fairly unscenic rugby club, but I didn't hate the run as much as I thought I would!
This morning saw the return of our DOrunning Sunday session following the Christmas break. Setting off somewhat gingerly thanks to the slippery paths following some overnight snowfall, by 5km I'd settled in so well that I decided to do another lap. Really pleased to get 6.5 miles under my belt, the first time I've ran more than 5km since November. Just another 27.5 miles to find 😬
