Just wanted to share....

I wrote a post last week, but don't think I ever actually pressed the post button so here it goes again. I went for a jog and felt a bit disappointed that despite all the strength training and weight loss the run didn't feel any easier. Well.....that was until I checked the stats and realised that my pace improved by about 30 seconds. I don't know how much of an improvement it is in the real runners world, but I am rather chuffed ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ.

You've got every right to be chuffed, you are a real runner and any amount of pace increase is great ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Stating the obvious I know but thatโ€™s 2โ€™30โ€ off your Parkrun. Huge improvement.
