4th consolidation run done. Itโ€™s still hard work but getting more comfortable with it. Was a bit naughty and did an extra 3 minutes to round up to 4K. No prize for speed ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'm just back from mine, too, which was a real run - the rain that appeared while I was dressing made it almost a non-starter but it is going to be heavier rain over the next few days so it was now or days away.

I often tag a bit on to the end of a run, just to show that I can. It feels psychologically good, to me. Sort of puts me in charge rather than an app. But not finishing early - that's a "fail" not a win (not that any run is a real fail, of course).

I've realised I love running in the rain! Not the hard whippy stuff but I got soaked today and it was invigorating ๐Ÿ˜ well done on your run x

Yes, today's was refreshing. I think tomorrow is going to be the day I start on all those indoor projects that I should have been doing for the last two months. Heavy rain forecast for a few days.

Oh enjoy, I never find the time. I'm still working full time, never stopped - RMN. Plenty to fill my time, squeezing the runs in is my issue ๐Ÿ™„

The consolidation runs really build essential stamina and strength so every single run adds to the running bank. I do that thing too, add a little extra on to make up a round number ๐Ÿ™„
