Closer to nailing it (I think...)

[Joy57]

Ran this morning, 1st run in 9 days. Wet and drizzly - the old me would not even have gone for a walk today! However I have given up caring what I look like while running which is just as well. I wore a red fleece hat to save my hair from going frizzy in the rain and ended up with face matching the hat! Very fetching.

Did my favourite route, including a stretch along the canal, but extended it at a couple of points. I was using the Stamina podcast so I know I ran for 35 minutes.

Today I didn't stop at all! Usually I have to stop to take off a top, or open a gate, or I just need a walking break. Today I kept going - I did get warm but couldn't be bothered with the faff of talking off the jacket or fleece top.

Mapped it on mapometer when I got home and found it was 4.94k - darn! Should have kept going for another 60 metres!

Anyway, I am counting this as an unofficial pb for 5k, as my better of my 2 Parkruns so far was 39 minutes. Yay me!

Well done😊I've done that before too so annoying! I try now to go for the km rather than time as I'm a slow runner🐢🏃🐢🏃think it will be some time if ever 😂I get 5k done in 30mins!! I'm still about 44mins but I'm out there which is better than nothing!!! Struggling to get 3 runs a week just now 2 seems to be realistic at this time of year! I must check out stamina podcast😊 is that a Laura one joy57?😊

Yes it's one of the c25k+ podcasts along with Stepping stones & Speed. I didn't like them at first but they are growing on me!
