Final run – in shock!

I was pleased with 4.64k on my second run on Tuesday, and so going out today felt anything above that would be a bonus.

I resisted the urge to check my Strava, not wanting to be disappointed, and felt fine to continue to jog through the warm down.

Don’t know how, considering I struggled to do 3 mins a few weeks back, (maybe it was the half banana I had, usually I just have a small coffee), but I managed to run for 35.5 mins, and did 5.31k!!! 🙌😲

What’s strava? & how did u get map of your run ? Is it map my run? Well done x

It’s another tracker app, similar to Map my Run but more social media-y I guess? I just use the free version and like it! You can compare your stats across different runs and compete with yourself (and others). The map is a screenshot from the app. Thanks, I’m so chuffed! 😊
