Might get that trumpet out...

been finding the runs hard going since graduation and have dropped to around 23mins.

Had a few niggles of late but it is such a lovely sunny day today that I had to get out there.

Took it super steady and comfortably ran 6k in 34mins.

Worthy of a little blow perhaps!!

Wow! I think you need a whole trumpet fanfare! I can't even do 5k in that time, that's fabulous. Sometimes that little bright sunshine is all we need! I couldn't face a run yesterday, it was so gloomy wet and cold, but a little cold sunshine today got me out with enthusiasm

Yep, you need the bloomin orchestra to celebrate that one! I'm delighted to do 5k in under 40 mins!

Great result & most definately worthy of a trumpet voluntary I'd say! ☺

Fabulous Sarah. I know what you mean I have managed to do 30 mins each run since graduating but sometimes have to dig in and 'do it for Laura'.

Brilliant work though, that by running regularly you could pull the stops out sometimes and acheive 6k in 34...

Well done! Have just been watching the newly refurbished Flying Scotsman Loco running down the line. The first Loco to do 100 mph. Reminds me of you flying to a great 6k time!..
