Week 6, run 3

25 mins non-stop jogging! Iโ€™m elated! ๐ŸŽ‰ Wanted to punch the air when Jo Whiley said the time was up!

I initially wasnโ€™t sure if I should take an extra rest day due coming on my period last night (might be TMI for some but whatever, I think itโ€™s important to mention!) But I decided I felt ok to run (and didnโ€™t want to mess up my exercise routine), so went for it!

And as a bonus, my pace was better than expected, did 4.61k (including warm up and cool down), so think Iโ€™m on my way to the 5k in around 30 mins?! So pleased! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Good for you, and lovely picture. Sometimes the runs we're geared up for can be disappointing and the runs for which we have no expectations can be exhilarating. It's great when it happens ๐Ÿ‘

Well done! I woke up to find out I had started my period, but you inspired me to lace up my shoes and go for the first run of week 7. It felt harder than Saturday's run, even though it was the exact same time and I ran the same distance, but as they say you never regret going for a run.
