Feeling pretty pleased with myself after my first 35 minute run today. My pace felt good n is definitely improving n I actually managed to get past halfway to 5k! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I even enjoyed the wind, it helped to keep me nice n cool. Plus Iโ€™ve completed 4.53 miles for Miles for Mind, only 45.47 to go! Happy days!

Thanks AlMorr but sadly, it wasnโ€™t 5k but only just over halfway to 5k, 2.67k to be precise lol. But itโ€™s the first time Iโ€™ve broken halfway so Iโ€™m very pleased ๐Ÿ˜

That's great you are so positive and enthusiastic. We are all getting there at our own pace. I huffed and puffed for 39 mins to get to a 5k in my second run since graduating. It was hard going! When's it going to get easier? ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

SeeJillRunGraduate in reply to Keston54

Thanks! Are you doing any consolidation runs? I did 8 before it started to get easier but Iโ€™m so glad I did as my pace keeps increasing now ๐Ÿ˜. Give your body a bit of time to adjust with some consolidation n youโ€™ll soon notice a difference ๐Ÿ˜Š

Just 2 runs since graduation yes will keep at it ! One of them being the 5 k and it taking 39 mins so maybe overdid it. Patience and practice ! That's good to know ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

SeeJillRunGraduate in reply to Keston54

Thatโ€™s exactly it, patience and practice. Compared to a lot of us, 5k in 39 minutes is just fine. I reckon itโ€™d take me over an hour! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
