Monday 5k

[Jericho2332]

Good morning runners! After a rest day yesterday, decided to head out this morning for another try at 5k. Went with an Audio book (I'm on book 2 of the Harry Potter books read by Stephen Fry) and it passed the time nicely.

Initially my legs were stiff and thought I may only manage a really short run but it eased off after the first KM or so and I was able to continue.

Sun was shining and despite quite a brisk breeze, I felt comfortable running without my jacket, I did keep the tights on under the shorts though, didn't think the world was ready for my skinny white legs just yet this year 🤣

Run was ok, never dropped into painful at any point which was a relief, had to push myself to keep going at a few points but was very happy to complete another run and in a not bad time too.

Have a great day everyone, happy running!

I’m soooo jealous!!!! Nice run!

(And thanks so much for that burst of motivation and resolve! I’ll be out there soon again! )

Fabulous stuff! Love the idea of running with Harry Potter!

Great news! How have you found the motivation to go out again after your break since Nov? I haven't been since the beginning of Jan (22).

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Cudrik]

It was tough, but once I'd made the decision to go, I knew I'd stick with it. The break was never a planned one, scary how quickly I got out of the habit. Hopefully you will be able to get back out there soon, have to say the change in weather really helps 👌🏻

We had to stop listening to Stephen Fry reading the Harry Potter books on car journeys. His lugubrious voice was sending everyone to sleep.

It is superb for nodding off to 🤣👌🏻

Yeah happy it didn't hurt today, was expecting the worst. Boro doing ok, don't think we quite ready for playoffs this season but we will see 🤞🏻

That sounds like a good run, and you can’t go wrong with Harry Potter. Well done 😊.

Thank you, I've watched the movies loads of times but never actually read the books. As soon as I discovered Fry was reading them I knew I had to have them 😂
