Life after graduation

I graduated last week. And over the weekend, I popped a celebratory bottle of bubbly which felt good!

So...here is what I have been up to since I graduated.

I have had 2 outdoor runs - one 6K and one 3.8K - and one indoor run on treadmill.

The plan is to do 3 runs per week:

First run on treadmill where every 5th minute, I do at higher speed

Second run on treadmill where every 5th minute, I do at higher elevation

Third run outdoors where I simply run

I have done the first and third one so far and I will be doing the second run tomorrow evening.

Outdoors has been fun. There have been puddles all over the place which meant I had to change my route 4 times during a single run.

All in all, just taking things in my stride and enjoying running :-)

Did you run the 6k continuously?

No. I took 5 walking breaks - 2 imposed by traffic signals.

That's great, you're doing so well. Good to have a plan, good to have some runs where you just run, and enjoy yourself. xx
