W11R2 or more consolidation....

I am still going.

Those damned mental gremlins reappeared this weekend though.

I have my first organized 'race' at the MK Festival of Running 5K next weekend, and I seriously considered pulling out yesterday.

The Strava profile of the 5k course looks like 2.5k downhill, followed by 2.5k uphill. My gremlins were trying to convince me that I could NOT run 2.5k uphill. I struggled on the long uphill run this weekend, and it was less than 1k...

Thankfully, I have regained my perspective today, and I am going to do it anyway. So what if I need to walk for 30 seconds every now and again? It's a journey right? I am still on the formation laps of my new running life, there is so much to come...

I plan on running Tuesday and Thursday this week, with the 5K race on Sunday...

Well done, and you’re absolutely right, it matters not one little bit if you need to take short walk breaks... what matters is enjoying your new fitter lifestyle, especially on “race” days.
