Beyond C25K Run 3

I went out for my 3rd consolidation run today, even though my guts weren't quite right.

I decided that I would put the W9R3 podcast on, but instead of running out for the whole 30 minute section I would turn back at the halfway point.

The most important thing was I completed the workout.

I had also thought I had started the MapMyRun app for the running section, but when I got to the end I realised I must have pressed the button twice and paused it, so I didn't get the running section distance. Heyho these things happen.

Good for you! 😀 It looks a lovely place to run- so you have a good excuse to re- run that route & measure it! 😃

Thanks Elfe5 for that motivation 😀

Yeah, I live that run. The scenery around here is beautiful.

I've got another consolidation run on Tuesday and Thursday next week, before I head off to London next weekend to do a 5K ParkRun in Richmond Park.

I'm hyped up for that, and then we are into a busy Christmas and New Year couple of weeks, where I don't know if I will get out to run 😥

Well you certainly have your plans laid - that’s good. 😃

I seem to remember having to work quite hard to fit in running around Christmas busyness last year. In fact on Christmas Eve, I realised the only opportunity was while the family’s lasagne cooked in the oven! I was all in my running gear before cooking, popped it in the oven and then dashed out the door - much to the astonishment of the entire household. 😂

I'm sure I will find time to go out at some point. Might go out to get out of cooking the Christmas Dinner 😂🤣😂🤣
