Set out to do an 8k this morning. Bit cloudy but didn’t look much like rain. Starts raining. At 1k I realise I’ve set off a bit fast for an 8k. Must slow down a little. Then the headphones turn off (yep still need to charge them apparently). No way I can do another 45 minutes with no tunes and the drizzle gets worse. switch to plan B. Turn up the phone volume full blast, keep up the pace and switch to a 5k instead. I figure I’m about 22 minutes away from hot coffee and muffins. Put your foot down smiffy. Only go and do a 5k pb 29.20. Get in! Get dry. Get coffee. Enjoy your runs today folks. Every run is good for something.

Great run for you 'wyersmith', a PB, a sub 30 minute 5k, you deserve that hot coffee and that lovely muffin once you have dried yourself.

Well done, Smiffy! Give the man a towel a mug of coffee and the finest muffins money can buy

Nice one - getting under 30 mins for 5k is always something to cheer about. Hope the coffee and muffin were good

Great run, WS! Think sometimes we have to just be flexible, but way to go on getting a 5k PB! You deserve that muffin! 😃🏃♂️🏃♀️❤️👍
Think in this case the positive out ways the negatives ( and who doesn't add hot coffee and muffins to their positives list anyway?)

As you say every run is a run towards your 10k goal and coffee and muffins sound like a great reward ☕️🍪
