A new PB yay sub 30min 😀

[Kevtrev]

I ran my best run ever my pace was constant and my new PB is 29:48 I’m so happy 😃 and the only 2 things I did differently was slow steps up hill and I made up for that on the downhill and I had nothing to eat before all I had was 2 pints of water that’s it but my 10K training is paying off yay 😀 this running malarkey is very addictive 😂

Well done Kevtrev. Glad to share a sub 30 min day with you. I kept telling myself that it didn't matter, and it truly doesn't, but clearly a bit of me didn't believe it! Happy running! 😊

Thank you! I deal with gremlins well in running and need to find a way of doing the same with other activities and daily life. I’m pleased I rediscovered running.

Yes I’m glad you have got back into running and your welcome you soon will be kicking them gremlins out with your running and you will get there I know it’s hard but try and live for the moment enjoy it look at your surroundings and look at the trees the birds and anything other than you’re worry’s I was told this and it is helping me I hope it helps you too 😉 and enjoy your running 😉👍

[Couchpotato2 in reply to Kevtrev]

yes being in the present helps a lot and with running it engages a lot of the senses so that's probably why it's easy to be present. Anyway I love it and how it's helping me and other. thanks for your lovely message
