Still good to be getting out there ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š

โ€ข6 Replies

I did a 25 minute run today (Iโ€™m settling for at least one run a week now, with boxercise and boot camp) and had a look through my average pace/ run time on MapMyWalk. I hadnโ€™t realised but Iโ€™m getting faster!!! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

This has shown me that those consolidation runs after graduating are really important. I graduated 7 weeks ago and the runs since have seen me settle into a nice pace. Also, I no longer worry about my breathing ๐Ÿฅณ

I listened to the Runners World weekly podcast and found myself laughing at it. The main theme this week is about fear of failure, which was intersecting. There was also a section on running etiquette-7 rules for running. Interestingly, donโ€™t run topless is the 1st rule โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

Keep getting out there folks ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป The only way we can fail is if we go back to the couch-and stay there ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

The fact you're getting faster shows you're getting stronger and fitter. Great you enjoyed your podcast I like my music. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

I do think I am getting stronger and fitter ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Iโ€™m loving life at the moment.

The sun was out โ˜€๏ธ and although 6 degrees, I still got too hot. I remembered back to the summer when I was doing the programme-it was really hot and I waited until 9pm to do one of my runs!!! It was still light too ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Sounds like you're really enjoying yourself. Thanks for the tip too, I knew I was doing something wrong ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ณ
