Today I took it steady

Morning Run with the wannabees running group. Slowed my pace down which meant I could chat a little more. Not proud of the time or distance the pic was taken to show my son I'd done it as is the only one I took today.
Well done, I've never got into running. One of my sisters did a few years ago. She does a lot now, all sorts of distances, including marathons in several countries.
I can walk nearly a marathon distance in the hills, I can open water swim (not fast), for up to two hours, but my forte is cycling.
Before I got distracted by photography, we used to do a regular cycle down to a little cafe in Wales, round trip sixty miles then go to work in an afternoon. Three, four times a week. Using time off to get back upwards that again. Easier than running.

@markp Thanks Mark, as you can see I'm using my time posting pics I've taken but not uploaded. I started running (something I said I've never do) 16 months ago and was proud to complete my first 10km event in February which I did without stopping or walking. Had 3 more planned this year..... Struggling now with motivation but trying to get out to do a slow 5km complete with stops 3 times a week as I don't want to lose what I worked so hard for. My son started to keep me company but is now way faster than me and did a half marathon last September. I used to cycle 25 miles (never 60!! and never before work!!) only just got my bike back out after 6 years to use on my non running days so it'll be a while til I build the distance back up. Pleased you're managing to use this time well... Stay safe
