First run as a 36 year old 😂

Well my plan was to run on the 20th as that was my birthday but I decided to go to the gym instead. I knew I had a late start in work on Friday so decided I would go for a run before. I had brought myself a new pair of running shoes as I had been given a voucher for sports direct. Funny thing about it being that this time last year my presents was sweets and other unhealthy food this year it was running stuff. I set of on my run and was only planning on a quick 5k max run. Half way into my run I decided that hey I just as well run longer as I had left my house pretty early. In the end I completed 8 miles. I had ran a extra half mile then my last run. I only run about once a week. I’ve set myself a little challenge that I will add on half a mile each week and hopefully get to the half marathon early next year. Anyway thanks for reading and I’m thinking of a Xmas day run (that will please the wife) so I will update everyone if I go for it
