Did a lovely 5k this morning - not as sunny as the last few days which meant the path was a lot quieter 😀
I am slow, but managed the fastest pace since I got my Garmin at Christmas - under 8 min/km. This was my 2nd fastest run, after a Parkrun in December. Happy with that. I'm aiming just to consolidate a good 5k rather than build up distance. I did today's run in just over 39 minutes. My 24 year old daughter, who is ultra-fit compared to me, did pretty much the same run yesterday, 10 minutes faster. To repeat, as a 57 year old never-runner till July last year, I'm happy with that 😄

Absolutely- my daughter in law is half my age and much faster ! And does marathons. But you and I are out there running which is fantastic. Since finishing week 9 I've been consolidating doing 5k in about 37 mins or if short of time, 4K in about 31 mins. I am happy doing that and am fitter -all my work skirts swivel round my waist!!!
You're a bit faster than me! Sadly, no real change in my clothes but I know I could improve my diet - there have been a lot of cakes around lately, for various reasons!
That's just how it should be - running for fun, no pressure. As long as we keep getting out there I don't think it matters. I'm building up distance, but it's more because I can and I really want to see how far this 56 year old body can take me.
