Another 5k in the bag :) Every one feels like a new gift. Was still a challenge though, to get out the door on a chilly and blustery night.

I definitely hate wind more than rain, cold or even snow I have decided.

Tried the stamina audio fuel tonight and managed to run it all keeping to the beats, albeit my second 1k split I was a lot slower for an unknown reason as I didn't feel any slower.

Amazed to knock another 35seconds off my personal best, I know we are not meant to aim for targets, but it is so hard not to see 30 mins as some mystical beacon to run towards.

I need to give myself a good slap though as 6k on thursday and I should be holding back I think.

I love that you are humble enough and filled with enough wonder to see 5k as a gift.

Thankyou, though i'm not sure i'm worthy of such high praise. But it is pretty amazing this journey that we are all on. I just wish I found getting out the door a bit easier lol.

I always go out with trepidation and come back with elation.
