First consolidation run....

Well it didnโ€™t start well tbh.

I got offered a new job yesterday ๐Ÿฅณ and so last night we had a takeaway curry and a few too many drinks ๐Ÿคญ to celebrate. This morning to say I was dehydrated and felt a little bit rough was a slight understatement.

Got up and chucked on my running gear, glass of water and a piece of toast as I had post drinking hunger going....

Thought hmmmm consolidation Iโ€™ll try something new ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I decided to try the Nike running app. Ermmmm well the app was playing through my watch while my music played through my ear buds ๐Ÿคช. So gave up on that and ran solo with just no doubt to keep me company....

Oh I missed someone telling me I was doing well and how many minutes I had left..... and I found out no doubts isnโ€™t the best to run to as it has so many little odd beats which made me want to just dance ๐Ÿคฃ

BUT....

Despite all that! I completed my consolidation run 30 minutes done! Slower than all my runs in week 9 but I DID it ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Note to self : hydrate with water not alcohol before next run!

You've got to celebrate a new job! Congratulations on that and the consolidation run. I seem to have got into a lot of discussions about wine and water on this forum recently: seems us runners have some things in common other than the running.

Brilliant that you even got that far! I know how it feels running with a hangover..... but doesnโ€™t it feel better after the run?!

Firstly, Congratulations on the new job ๐ŸŽ‰

Secondly I nearly spilled my tea when I first read your post as I read it that youโ€™d โ€˜chucked upโ€™ on your running gear ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฎ

Was relieved when I re-read it ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Hang over and running canโ€™t be a great combo but you gotta celebrate a new job! Well done for completing the run too
