I graduated back in June, but the very hot weather over the summer put me right back! So a bit of shuffling over the last few weeks and I finally got back to 5k today! There is hope!! Might even think about Park Run next!! Happy running. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ πŸ˜€

Certainly not good running in the heat of the summer '18Windmill" you were very wise on taking a short break from running during the heat and its nice that you are once again back to running a 5k today.

Yesterday I ran my third 5K since graduation. I woke up this morning and suddenly thought to myself that in the area I live there are plenty of places I can run off road. After lunch today I walked with my phone measuring another 5K route for running, so I have about 5 different routes I can choose for further runs.

Thanks. So good to have a variety of runs. Have generally stuck with one main route so looking fwd to extending the runs. Happy running!

Parkrun is a great way to keep those 5ks going 18Windmill. Go for it.

Oh! I missed this 18Windmill! Well done you! So pleased that you have reached 5k again! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸŽ‰And that was 10 days ago! I hope that you have found some time since to progress is a way you are happy with. I wonder whether you have just started half term, or just finishing. And has that Parkrun debut happened? I keep have reason not to go for my second week. All the best for your onward running journey! 😊
