Consolidation Run #5 complete! And knackered...

[Kayleicia]

A drizzly start to the morning was definitely not the most motivating to get on the move today but nevertheless, on I went. Annnndddd... Managed 4.5k in 30 minutes today which is a personal best, yippee!

A part of me can't wait to extend my runs after the consolidation period but I'm showing restraint to have the consolidation under my belt. Does anyone else find themselves in the same predicament? I just want the 5k! I think starting running has taught me a few things: 1) patience is a virtue 2) mind over matter is powerful 3) I have strangely strong calves! Hahaha!

Well done, it won’t be long till you get to the magic 5k. I’ve been cautious about extending too quickly too so have taken 2weeks to get to 5k today on run 7 since graduation, but it took me 37minutes. Strangely I’m getting faster without trying even though I was trying to go slower so I could go a bit longer.
