Well I graduated on Friday and spent the weekend floating along on that road of โ€˜ what an amazing sense of achievement โ€˜ ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฅณ.

So Monday morning arrived - thinking Iโ€™ll get up early and go off for my first consolidation run - oops that didnโ€™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 - donโ€™t usually run this end of the day. I felt lethargic but hey letโ€™s just get out and see what happens.

I thought Iโ€™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 - donโ€™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 Iโ€™m disappointed itโ€™s fine just hadnโ€™t prepared well enough during the day. Lesson learnt โœ…. Onwards to run 2 on Wednesday or Thursday - this time in morning definitely ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ˜Š. Happy running everyone ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‘
