5k celebration run ... almost

[LolaMac81]

Celebration run day, today. Absolutely devastated that I didn't quite manage to run all the way, had to walk a couple of times as I just had no energy (probably should have had breakfast before we set off 😬) started like a (slow-ish 😂) bat out of hell and I think that was my downfall!

I did the full course but Strava stopped right at the end and only recorded 4.8km 🙄

The boy child 100% smashed it though. So proud of the little man, especially to say he couldn't be bothered before we set off. He was even encouraging me right to the very end. What a dude!

2 mile PB so shouldn't be too disappointed in myself even though I didn't manage to run for the full 5k. Still, it's an achievement nonetheless so I need to try not to beat myself up too much. I've joined a social running group so I will get there and smash it at some point, hopefully soon.

Kiddo is hanging up his running shoes though, he set out to run 5k and he did that today so he has decided he doesn't want to continue. A shame and I'll miss him being my running bud I respect his decision.

No need to be devastated... you’ve come so far. No run is perfect and some are less perfect than others... going fast from the start is a lot harder, you did really well. Boy done great, and my bet is he’s really proud of you. There will be many more runs.

Thank you! I'm feeling really deflated as I've not really experienced the bad run that people talk about, until today! I know I've still done good but it's a shame to not be able to tick off that final hurdle, just yet.

Next run will be smoother

Fingers crossed!

It'll be all the sweeter when you get there though, because so hard won.

Good point! I'm feeling like a park run might be in order 😄
