No running for 12 days as a result of holidays, bad weather, excuses and procrastination!

All day today at work I've been telling myself I will run tonight, I got home, got changed straight away and got out there and this happened! 6 1/2km!!! It wasn't quick or easy by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm well chuffed with that I've done over the 5k.

Looking forward to Thursday and getting out there again. πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

So, so well done, and a good distance. I take it you won't be needing the petrol then?

Thanks Rob. It looks like a good run. I edited the times out of the photo cos they weren't so impressive!!! Haha! But after 12 days off and with a big hill on the run I didn't expect a fast one

How amazing! Which means no mojo gets lost in 12 days! That is encouraging! And 6.5k???! You should be so proud. I realize what kms i do when i go over them with the car. Then i get SO proud of myself AGAIN!! so look at.your route. You did this!

6.5k included my warm up and cool down walks, and a very slow jog up a hill that was probably slower than walking, but previously I'd done just over 5k all included. So well chuffed. No mojo lost here! 😁
