Feeling a tad lethargic today after travelling back from Somerset and our New Years celebrations ๐ŸŽ‰ but told myself a good run would wake me up! So, carefully timed to miss the rain, off I went as dusk fell, on my local 'pavement pounder'. Runkeeper updated me on my progress and much to my surprise I seemed to be managing a fair ol'pace for me๐Ÿ˜ฎ, completing 5k in 29mins 29 secs! Very pleased with myself and just goes to show that the persistence and hard work does pay off eventually, although it is distance I aspire to rather than speed! I think doing a lot of running on quite muddy ground has definately strengthened my legs. Next run in a couple of days is my 'long' run, so hoping to add on to the 7k I did last time out. Happy new year and safe running to everyone. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Well done you...! I must admit, I was glad this morning, that my next run out is scheduled for tomorrow! I am full of admiration for you getting out there. It is good how all the adverse conditions have strengthened our muscles...I feel much stronger generally.

Enjoy your long run...keep us posted :)
