3rd Consolidation Run, ‘free-running’

3rd consolidation run, and I am running without my training wheels, that is without the C25k podcast, without Jo Whiley, without additional inspirational chatter.

It was a good run. 500m longer than last time. And at 6am I was the only runner.

Drizzly , cloudy day, paths were overgrown just from 3 days rain! But as my run is still so slow, the grasses don’t hinder me much.

Also am trying to find perfect running routes without styles, without too much mud in rain, and without too many other runners.

Upwards and onwards.

Amazing, well done! I love being the only runner about in the morning, but sometimes it's nice to have someone nod their head at you in acknowledgement that you are both runners! That looks like a lovely route to me, do you always run in the country areas or have you tried other places? :)

Thank you 🙏 yes, I am saving up my street routes for when the mud, rain and weather forces me to run on roads. So do now, fields it is!😅.

And yes, love the emptiness with once-in-while a nod to a fellow walker.

Love your route, must find an alternative to tarmac.

Yes, I am lucky. The one time I tried tarmac I could feel the impact on my limbs. But my first runner-winter will afford me to run on tarmac. So not looking forward to that.

Yeah, well done. A previous post called this Naked running 😁🏃🏻‍♀️. It is quite different isn't it? You can get in your own zone and don't notice the time. Sounds like you are having some great runs. 👍

Awwwhh, thanks. Yes, and I am still trying out so many new variables on how to use my new running skill. Fun, fun, fun!
