Consolidation Run 1

Having graduated a week ago I decided to give myself a small break this week. I struggled with time anyway as I’ve been away on a team meeting to Snowdonia in the most awful weather earlier in the week so with the better weather today I ventured out on my 1st consolidation run. What a treat, fastest 5k so far, 29mins and managed almost 6k in 34 mins. Lovely coastal run along the Millennium coast path in Llanelli and the sunset was sublime!!

Here’s to Run 2 in a few days time.

Think I’m going to treat myself to a new Garmin watch , happy days...

Lovely photo Hymertrails; what a beautiful place to run. It sounds like your running legs appreciated their extra few days rest and have paid you back handsomely with a great run and a great time too. Well done!

Thanks Delly-dot, it’s a lovely route. I’ve walked it with the dogs numerous times but my first go at running there. Good luck for W9!!!

Thank you. I've found myself mulling over new routes to run whilst I'm running. I want to head away from my home routes and head off towards a few further from home. I'd love to go to the coast and run there.

Thanks Buddy34, I’m pleased with that for my 3rd ever 5k. I use my old Fitbit for running but my eyesight is not as good as it could be and when I’m jigging around the text is hard to read! I could be running a 4 minute mile for all I know😂😂😂

Yes, it's fine. Stitches out Wednesday which requires a visit to the GP - that's more frightening than the surgery 😷

in reply to Wenderwoo

It's not very nice is it having stitches taken out?

Cheers Pete, I see your local to me. How was the Gnoll Parkrun hill? I work around Afan and have many friends who do the Gnoll run.
