1st consolidation run

So still buzzing off my graduation run on Sunday I did something today that’s been a goal since starting this; go running with someone

So.......

Every run I’ve done I’ve come back and messaged this person with how buzzing I am and she’s been so supportive of me through my c25k journey so I coyly asked if I could try running with her!

And.......

Today I ran 5k(!!!!!) in 43 mins!

I’m fricking buzzing!!! I’ve only ever done 30 mins

Runs but I was enjoying it so much I said let’s try for the 5k and I did it!! I ran 5k!!

I literally have to pinch myself to believe it

I struggled with w1r1, mentally blocked out of w5r3 and lost my mojo on w6r3

And here I am casually going for a 5k run after work with a mate.

If I can do it..... you can do it too!!!

Yes absolutely - I’m aiming to just keep to 30 min runs and build on that but was just enjoying it so thought I may as well! I still could keep up a conversation and had some left in me at the end

But totally get what you’re saying!
