Was planning on attempting stepping stones tonight but had second thoughts as had a long day work and tiring commute. Will be more mentally prepared on Wednesday.

I did however do my 9th consolidation run and covered 5.01km in 30mins, so I'm well chuffed. I also got a haircut today at last which I'm sure will help me to run faster for longerπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ.

Hope you are all well and progressing πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€πŸ‘

An amazing 9th consolidation run, well done, great that you have had a haircut, I got word that my hairdresser is never going to open again, so from now on I will cut my hair when it gets really long, I am so happy that you enjoyed your run today. Surely that sub 30 minute 5K is just around the corner.

Morning Al yes a haircut at least, unlike you I don't possess the skills to cut my own hair! Yes sun 30 5k is near, I don't however want to aggravate my calf so will take it easy for a whileπŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ

For a guy of 74 I still have a reasonable amount of hair up top, yes I have thinned down a bit but the last time I was at my hairdresser in early March she told me I was NOT bald, hair growth is slower than it used to be so any hair that is annoying I just cut it off.

Good news! Have you listened to stepping stones? The tempo is sooo fast. I could hardly keep up with the walking, let alone running. Good luck

Having less up top has certainly helped! πŸ‘ΆπŸ‘πŸƒ
