Mad!

I survived my first 10k on Boxing Day in a time of about 1h16m, to racing in one last night! And somehow took over 15 minutes off...

Enjoying my rest day 😸 Katnap 😸

Whereas most folk missed the structure of c25k, I just enjoyed the freedom. Consolidated with regular runs and slowly built myself (up to 8k. Found I was running happy as long as it wasn't on dark evenings (dark mornings are OK, just not evenings for some reason). Had some fab Xmas runs despite all the excess & my first sub 30 PR..... But then have had a leg issue & the doc even suspected blood clots, which put a dampener on the new year, but all's good now 🀞So now following ju-ju's 10k plan to mix things up again and enter my first 10k. I was never going to aim for longer distances but I can feel the addiction taking over 😯.... And I can tell you know what I am talking about!

Glad to hear you got the all clear!

Agree with the morning runs. I'd rather be half asleep than half awake...

Enjoy ju-ju s plan πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜
