For next couple months I'm just going to enjoy running again. Running for a certain length of time at a slow pace. Last couple months have all been about pace and time. Sun is out and just going to enjoy it. Started today with a 30min run which turned out to be 5k

The run this morning was just so nice. No pressure. Last 2-3 months for me has all been geared to duathlon and getting faster. I sat down and went through a few plans and nothing was jumping out at me. I think I'm just at the point we're I just want to run for the pleasure. Looking back I've always been pushing myself for either 5k then 10k times, then moved onto duathlons. Haven't really took time out just to enjoy it with no pressure. So until my holiday enjoying with no pressure and trying to cycle as much as I can is my plan. I really don't care about pace or how quick I'm going. Just simply that I'm going to run matters

Isn't it great running because you want to not because you have to enjoy the sun 😊
