Consolidation run

Good morning all. After graduation last Tuesday and as a first consolidation run, I decided to go out to see how far I could run.

Felt a bit strange to not have Laura’s voice encouraging me as I just had my running app on (I can’t run to music at this stage) but had my husband to growl at on the way round.

We changed our route slightly to aim towards a 5k mapped route for future ‘just go and run’ runs.

Well, although we had a bit of a technical hitch with our mapping devices in a dead spot, I ran for 44 mins and covered 3.2miles.

Although I felt a bit grumpy afterwards as I really wanted my full effort to be mapped (and probably written on a tablet of stone) to say that I was also pleased with myself is an understatement.

Like many others only a few weeks ago, I could manage no more that one minute of running before having to walk.

Now waiting for my graduation certificate/badge so that I can look at it and feel proud of myself.

Keep on running!

Best wishes, Peanutnanna x

Well done..mix those runs now..short ones and new routes..and make sure there are some 30 minute ones too... and of course, the lovely longer runs that build up stamina and strength 😉
