Well I graduated on Friday and spent the weekend floating along on that road of β€˜ what an amazing sense of achievement β€˜ πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ₯³.

So Monday morning arrived - thinking I’ll get up early and go off for my first consolidation run - oops that didn’t happen - stayed in bed, feeling lazy - then the laptop got in the way but after I closed the laptop for the day I thought shall I go out now - don’t usually run this end of the day. I felt lethargic but hey let’s just get out and see what happens.

I thought I’d leave Jo behind - sorry Jo - and just take my music and the Nike timer along for the run and see how I got on. Not so good - don’t feel I failed - as any running is good for my legs - I started off ok, steady pace, lovely weather, my music stopped - so fiddled around to start it again and continued on my usual route. Got to around 3.5k after about 25 mins and I had run out of steam - walked the rest of the 1.5k home. Whilst I’m disappointed it’s fine just hadn’t prepared well enough during the day. Lesson learnt βœ…. Onwards to run 2 on Wednesday or Thursday - this time in morning definitely πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸŒπŸ˜Š. Happy running everyone πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘
