I like to get up and off usually but this morning I thought I can't be bothered and snuggled under the duvet . I thought I wasn't running today got settled down to a bit of knitting ,then my youngest daughter rang will you drop me off at garage to pick car up .So I thought right I may as well don running gear on then I can run round country park that's near garage when I've dropped her off . It was raining ,it was windy but I really enjoyed it and get this ,it flashed on my garmin fastest 5k ! . It's not long back I was stuck at 30 mins and couldn't get passed it now it's all just clicked and I've done at least 3 since that post. So it just goes show ,it's a funny thing this running lark . πŸ˜πŸ˜€πŸ€£Happy running folks

Wow I am nowhere near the magic 30, well done you. Just shows the unexpected runs can often work out just fine and dandy

Great stuff Rockette...😊 I had the same thing...could run for 30 mins no problem but struggled to add any extra mins. Then one day you just manage that 5k and its done!πŸ˜„

Well done on another great 5kπŸ˜€x
