Consolidation run 2

I really didn't feel that I wanted to go out this morning. I could easily have stayed in bed this morning. I knew that I would feel guilty if I didn't go out so I dragged my sorry butt out of bed and out of the door by 6.30am. I found it a bit tough this morning as it was warmer than I thought it was going to be. The wind was fantastic as I was able to cool down. I felt that I really got into my stride in the second half of the run and was able to speed up in the last couple of minutes. Reaching 30 minutes I knew I was so close to the 5k so I carried on and achieved a not(parkrun) time of 31.12 minutes. Seeing that time I am really pleased that I went out this morning.

Due to work commitments I may not get to run again until Friday so I'll look forward to that.

Good luck to everyone running today.

Well done for getting up and getting out there! And well done too on a very respectable 5k time 👍 - you should be very pleased with that! Are you logging your times with (not) Parkrun?

Have a good week!🙂

Thank you. I am really happy with my time, especially as I run in a hilly country park on the site of an old coal mine.

I am logging my times with not (parkrun). I'm looking forward to parkrun returning. I joined parkrun in week 2 as an incentive.

Brilliant - it's great to use Parkrun as your goal...and your time is even better if it's a hilly run!💪🙂
