5th Consolidation Run - Almost, but not quite

It was nice to run with blue skies again and a lovely breeze stopped it getting too warm. Set ourselves a destination point and time, 40mins. At the end checked and it was 4.8k, so close but not quite there. Ah well next week I know just a little further to push will take me to magic 5πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸ˜€.

I’m really noticing a big difference being back at work and sat at a desk all day. To keep up the same pace on my runs is taking much more effort. But I remind myself how much more beneficial this is to my lifestyle and health than the couch was. I also know how amazing I feel now and people are noticing.

Another big plus is I needed to go shopping πŸ› as my clothes aren’t fitting and for the first time in years it’s going the right way πŸ˜†. I’ve dropped a dress πŸ‘— size πŸ₯³πŸ˜€πŸ˜€.

Happy running all πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

That all sounds very positive and encouraging - next week I start my consolidation runs so taking inspiration from your post. Also, work does get in the way, doesn’t it? Good to remind ourselves of the benefits - and a dress size sounds like excellent motivation.πŸ‘πŸ˜€
