Just been out for my run. After running it alone on Saturday and hitting 5k decided to take some advice I was given and keep to the 30 minute run. I ran Week 9 today so took MJ along with me. πŸ˜€It was good to hear his voice and encouragement again. It seemed to drag a bit this evening, probably something to do with an extremely busy day at work with teenagers all day. Looking to keep to the 30 minute runs for a while until I am finding it comfortable. I ran 4.76k tonight so I am happy with that πŸ™‹πŸ» Enjoy your next run everyone 😊

Very gently stretching by a few minutes each run towards that oh, so close 5k, would not be too risky if you keep the pace down and it might make you grin like a Cheshire cat. Don't push it though.

Thankyou. Loving every run at the moment. Enjoy getting out in the fresh air and clearing my head. I feel so much better for completing the programme πŸ˜€

Post-grad is great isn’t it? I’m at a very similar point running almost exactly the same pace as you. This week I did my first 5k, a 30 min run, and the β€˜Speed’ podcast. I had to stop to tie my lace (really, 9 weeks and you decide to come undone now?!) during the 5K but I did it in 32.35 so I’m still counting it.

Had another wardrobe malfunction on the second run … my keys burrowed their way out of my pocket and dangled on a thread around my knees … just as well I run in the pitch dark I thought as I plunged my hand down my trousers to fish them out.

On Sunday my partner who is also a C25K graduate persuaded me to do the Speed podcast. Boy, it’s tough. I think that one can take a rest for a while.

It’s a dreich day in Edinburgh but looking forward to my run this evening (a relaxed 30 minuter). There’s a strange pleasure to be had running on a miserable day.

Sounds like you’re doing great and really loving it too. How funny to have two incidents just after graduation. Glad you retrieved your keys πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Gosh, the speed podcast sounds kind of scary. Not sure I’m ready for anything like that yet.

I agree running in the rain is very satisfying. I find it very relaxing for some reason. I always did love to play netball matches in the rain so I don’t know why I am surprised. Keep on running and enjoying post graduation πŸ™ŒπŸ»
