Well I went for my second run after work tonight. I was absolutely shattered as I had the most stressful day in a long while but I was determined that I wouldn't fail at the second hurdle so to speak. So I got home and slipped into my running shoes for the second time in a week and went out. It has been the hottest day of the year so far and although the sun wasn't still out it was very warm.
This time I had to Run for 2 minutes and Walk for 4 - 5 times.
It was much better than Monday - I found it easier to do with the longer breaks in between and running for 2 minutes wasn't as bad as I thought - the last 2 were difficult but I felt so great when I managed it!
So a couple days rest before my next run on Sunday. I just hope that it doesn't rain all day otherwise I won't get to go.
I looked like a beetroot when I got home and my right calf muscle is really hurting but I am going to dig out the Tiger Balm in a minute and have an early night!
About Me
- Kelly
- United Kingdom
- I am a contradiction. Fiesty but I hate conflict. Happy and smiley but constant worrying. Loud and silly with friends but painfully shy around strangers. I love the summer but can't cope with the sun. My favourite things in the whole world are my husband, my toddler boy, my baby girl, my friends, my family, penguins, singing loudly alone in the car, and Cornwall. I don't like people who think the world owes them something, my fears and celery.

make sure you do some stretches before and after your run. I didn't do this when I did a charity run. My legs were fucked for a week after!
Everytime I exercise now, I stretch my muscles, I don't want to risk my leg falling off or something
I don't stretch before as stretching cold muscles will do more harm than good but I do warm up with a 5 minute walk first.
I do my stretches at the end though!
