Still here, consolidating like mad...

Had a week off (away at a wedding, no room in luggage for running gear!). Went out for my 4th consolidation run this morning. I have to admit to being a bit apprehensive about still being able to run for 30 minutes, but I did...and increased my speed ever so slightly. That might have been helped by the fact that about halfway through, running along happily listening to my music on the quiet lane near my house, I felt a nudge on my elbow. Nearly jumped out of my skin, but it was a (very large) playful dog wanting to run along with me. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚

No room in luggage for runnng gear!!! It's the very first thing you should pack, leave everything else πŸ˜‚

But well done for the consolidation runs, this is the part where many graduates get stuck. Just keep getting those runs under your belt. Every single one is building your strength and stamina and adding to the running bank.

Enjoy!
