W9R1 ✅ yesterday

Ok before I start I have to confess I was a little bit naughty and ran 2 days in a row 🙈 Not something I make a habit of but I’m so excited to graduate this week and the only days I can fit in are Mon, Wed & Fri, I planned all this without taking into account the fact that Monday comes after Sunday lol. I almost didn’t go as I had a headache but I’m glad I did, those endorphins sorted me right out!

Anyway, my first proper 30 minute run complete and I was so close... 4.69k - I’m really chuffed with this, and it leaves me hopeful that I’m on track to reach my goal of a 30 min 5k at my first ever ‘proper run’ on the 29 September 🤩 It was good to be back running in my favourite place again, the last couple of runs felt like such a struggle but back to the old railway line amongst the trees and lovely scenery (you’d never think you were in the middle of the city) and this one felt so much more comfortable. It was pretty chilly up here but that was good - I think I’m going to like autumn running 😍 Really upped the pace towards the end as I was feeling good and finished feeling satisfied that I’d put in a good effort. I just wish I could stick to a steady pace throughout but I’m up and down and all over the place 🤦‍♀️ hopefully consistency will come with practice!

Wow - you’re doing amazingly well - I can only daydream about a pace of 6.08. Stonking. I picked up an injury from being a bit too enthusiastic but in your case it seems like you’re invincible. Very jealous!

I often run 2 days in a row and have never had a problem. You know your own body but take your rest days. Bet you can smell that graduation x
