So I did it and more ! Todayβs my birthday and downloading Couch to5k 12 weeks ago was my present to myself as I was feeling I didnβt want to be unfit and 50. π And I thought Iβd do a β5k at 50β run but I actually did 6k the other day !! (Consolidation run 5) and so i thought Iβd have a bit of fun today instead and not push it. So hereβs my βfun runβ ! (Never thought Iβd use those 2 words together and mean it !!!!π€£).
Now, whereβs the champagne ?! πΎπ₯π₯³ππ»ββοΈππππΌ

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear runner, happy birthday to you. What a great present! Top idea. Well done on your fun run. ππ₯β‘οΈππΆπ΅
What a lovely birthday present to yourself! Congratulations on getting 6k under your belt - will you be heading for 10k eventually? Enjoy your birthday celebrations- theyβre well deserved!!
Thank you Oldgirlruns !! I hope to get to 10 k eventually but my current target is 60 mins by end of September. Iβm quite slow so 10K will take much longer than 60 mins I guess !! ππ»ββοΈππ»ββοΈππ»ββοΈ
I used to lived there too and was thinking just the same! We loved the walled garden and the paddling pool, never braved the temperature in the lido though!
Oh itβs such a wonderful park, so diverse, thereβs even a part of it that feels a little wild, if you use your imagination. Donβt know what Iβd do without that park !! π
Oh I love the walled garden ! I love the views of the city, I love watching the swans, the resident heron, the visiting cormorant, the occasional gathering of seagulls, the once-spotted young kestrel..... but I never notice any of that when running !!! Must take more notice. π₯°
Happy Birthday. Is that a 5 and a 0 in your run route, very clever? And congrats on choosing such a great present too in advance of the birthday, also very clever π
Yes !! It was my fun to try and draw β50β on the gps π not perfect but made for a varied run different to usual hamster wheel route round and round !
Congrats Juliet and Happy 50th, probably one of the best presents you've ever had...I'm sure your body thanks you. Now go enjoy that fizz, you've earned it π₯π
