First consolidation run

I decided to take it nice and easy for my first post-graduation run. When juggling my various apps at the start of my run I accidentally called my son and rang off quickly not wanting to disturb him at work. As it happened he wasn't working, and he rang me back when I still had 5 minutes left of my run. I had no intention of stopping before I had completed my 30 minutes so chatted away to him while I finished. It was nice to prove that I can run and talk at the same time, and I was amused when I checked my stats to find that my pace actually increased during the time I was talking to him.

Well done - and interesting that your pace improved when talking to your son! Could you phone him up more regularly whilst running, maybe?!😉
