11th Consolidation run

Well run number 11 since graduation another 5k under the belt πŸ™‚ and a total of 17.6 miles in January. have to say this weeks runs have felt hard and I can’t pinpoint why πŸ€”

Running without hearing my pace is liberating even though last two runs I did with my daughter and the first two km I knocked a min of my pace but then struggled so going out today on my own was refreshing because I could be myself and not pretend I’m a runner πŸ™‚

Onwards and upwards πŸ™‚ plan to run every other day and one 5 k a week. Have also set a target of running at least 35 miles in January so half way there already πŸ™‚

Saturday will be exactly 4 weeks since grad so happy that I’m still enjoying it πŸ™‚

You both might think you're old but you are both fitter than you were a few months back😊😊😊

Think you found it hard because you were going to fast, as you say you knocked time off each km.

It's great when you enjoy running , something I didn't think possible.

More happy running to you πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Funny how some runs seem to be hard.

I put it down to changing my route and not enjoying it.

I'm struggling to find another route that ticks boxes for me though, so I think I'm going back to the original route that I did throughout C25K

Happy running... 10k next!!!
