Today was C25K week 3 run 2, which overall is run 8. It’s a 9 week program though so 27 runs total. Just 19 runs left till I complete it!!

That may not sound like something to celebrate but I believe it’s important to celebrate the little things, especially when trying to change your habits.

Today’s run was good. The sunshine helped I think. I was running strong and happy and faster, although that may just be in my head. My muscles were happier today, although I’m still getting some tightness in my right leg when I run hills (by hills I mean anything with a slight incline).

My shins also appear to be holding together although the left one is a little sore still. I am icing it and trying not to jump around on it too much outside of the runs. Hopefully it gets stronger soon and I can stop thinking about it.

One thing I really need to work on though is a better playlist! I usually just play the music on my phone on shuffle. But today was a weird mix of rubbish I’d forgotten I had including the less catchy songs from Monty Python Sings (generally love them but not the best to run to). I keep my phone in my running belt so it’s not that easy to get to to change the track when running. At least not for me.

Still music aside I feel like things are getting better. Quite looking forward to my run on Friday 😄
