Another 5k done

These steps in the middle km are still taking all my determination to face up to, I just have to remind myself how good it feels to be able to say I did it once I've got back to a steady pace at the top πŸ‘πŸ»

I'm not even thinking about upping my distance to aim for 10k yet, I'm just enjoying the fact I can run 5 πŸ™‚

wow! those stairs look really challenging :-0 they are steep!

how incredible are you for getting them in your 5k route. Lol I can only imagine the dread at seeing them!

Thanks πŸ™‚ there are another two shorter but almost as steep hills at the top of them too 😣

I almost chickened out of running up that section this morning by going along the canal instead but forced myself to turn in that direction.

Fantastic Thecko! Are you doing 5k consolidation runs only for the time being?

Yes at least for the next couple of weeks, I'd like to run a 10k but I'm not going to rush in to trying to get to that distance! I do feel like I could carry on at the end of my runs but I know that I'd just be risking injury by running significantly more than I have done so far.
