Hard work on the tired legs trying to run everyday, but still managing to do my #runstreak.
Nearly had to stop my challenge on Tuesday as I had planned to run with friends at the running club that night.
I had a shock when I arrived home from school ( long story short I found my husband very poorly on the floor with a bad case of vertigo ).
1 hour after phoning the NHS direct help line and the doctors I had to run to pick up a prescription up for some strong medicine.
Even though I didn’t want to run I still got my 3 miles run in that day,really need to get back into the car again after 10 years off driving!!.
On Wednesday morning I managed just under 6 miles and another 5 today.
Today I’m sharing a healthy smoothies with beetroot. I’ve heard they say beetroot can improve running …

Thank you Judy, he is getting there..:)
That's looks pretty yummy! I'm hoping to work myself up to 6 miles by the end of February. So far I get to 5 and I feel like I'm going to die. I guess my body has hit another wall. Any tips on how to get around that wall??
Do you run with a friend? I find if I'm on my own I cant run as far but with a friend I run until they stop. or with a set mile in mind,sometimes when I'm on my own I set a mile challenge and don't come home till its reached this is how I did 12 miles on my own last week it was so hard but I did it 🙂 Dailymile has some great challenges you can join too 🙂
This sounds delicious!
Very tasty 🙂
