Day 2 / 5km. My personal RunForFun challenge. It’s just amazing to move, to breath fresh air and to run just for fun. For a long time I was running to push myself. I felt pain, stress, anxiety, hopelessness and only after I had finished my race I could feel relax and happinesses. I thought it was the right way of doing sport. A lot of people quit jogging just because they feel unpleasant feelings in their bodies while running. So... if you think you hate jogging, I think it’s just an excuse not to do anything. RunForFun is my mini challenge to run for fun, to enjoy the process and take all advantages of this sporty habit. The aim of the challenge is to run each day till the end of quarantine and do it in an adorable way. #runforfun #5kmrun #spark #polar #ottawarunners #ottawarunning https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DnVc3nv3f/?igshid=1wogplyq0y9g8

Awesome, awesome jog in this morning. Despite the heat and humidity, I didn’t feel like I was dying or in danger of overheating. Happy with my pace as well the goal today was to walk as little as possible, and I succeeded, so yay me! #running #runnersofinstagram #sweat #gottarun #ottawarunners

Hard jog home tonight. My legs were just so heavy it wasn’t even funny. Lots of walk breaks and much sweating was done. Good sweat though, and I am glad. My fault for the poor walking based on me not taking the time to eat a proper 2nd breakfast, and 1st and 2nd lunches. #gottarun #running #sweat #runcommute #ottawarunners

Another beautiful day for a jog. Mid-teens when I left, so while I got nice and sweaty, I wasn’t disgustingly hot. The outside of my hip was a bit tight for a while, but it didn’t bother me much. New route is still awesome, but Gatineau cyclists still do not know how to signal. Real happy with my pace though. #gottarun #running #ottawarunners #runcommute #sweaty

Beautiful jog in today. Still some slight soreness in my knee that pops up at the beginning of my runs, so I am slowing the pace and concentrating on keeping it constant as much as possible. #gottarun #runner #runnersofinstagram #ottawarunners #runcommute #runcommuter #coureursdegatineau

Nice unexpected jog in this morning due to me having a work activity at lunch today. Knee felt a bit wonky on Monday (a sore throbbing pain every now and then) so I slowed down some and focussed on placing my feet properly. Got a good sweat going on, and it felt good.l #running #runcommute #runcommuter #ottawarunners #coureursdegatineau #sweat

Attempt #2 - This time with better image formatting. Nice run today. Felt good. Starting to get hot and humid in the mornings, which means going to have to pay more attention to my hydration. #gottarun #runner #running #runcommute #runcommuter #ottawarunners #coureursdegatineau #sweaty

Awesome jog in this morning. Pace felt good, and I was able to@push it a bit more to try to build up the cardio. Some pauses due to street lights and cars, but that’s OK. Rained the middle 25 minutes, but that was ok. Windy enough that it was going sideways at times. Had to take off my hat!! (The horror!!) #gottarun #running #runcommute #runcommuter #ottawarunners #coureursdegatineau
