I ve just joined the raceatyourpace 50mile in June challenge and after 2 runs I’m really enjoying the challenge of having to increase my 5kms if I’m gonna get this medal 😁.

I plan runs that have the potential to be 7km+ but that I can stop after 5km if I need to.

I have changed the stats on my ionic watch face so I’m not checking my pace , splits etc every 2minutes. I just know the time I’ve been out running.

I’m trying not to avoid hills ( today’s had a couple of inclines but nothing to drastic).

I’m doing trails more than road where I can ( I’ve realised that I hate being on roads where people can see me running , I’m overweight and run slow so I feel embarrassed when I run past people) .

I’ve broken my 50miles into weekly targets so as long as I can get 12 miles a week done I know I’m on target.

I’m so focussed on this I just want to be further in my running journey than I am . I’m desperate to be running 10km and to be a good runner. Roll on the next couple of months 😍😍
