Consolidation 1: Speedy fun!

[packersruns]

Today I was back and forth on whether to use a coach (whether it was on C25K app or Nike app) and I decided last minute to not do either, and just listen to my music. That was definitely a good decision, as I actually felt the run whizzed by and I enjoyed it a lot more than having a coach! I changed my route today which of course I took a photo, however I think because psychologically on my other route I know to go slower at the beginning, for some reason that literally went out of the window!!

My average pace was 8'48" which for me is really fast, especially as I was going out today to just have a nice easy run and didn't look at my watch in regards to pace, only for the time so I knew when to turn around. I found this run a more challenging in regards to route as there was more inclines (not full on hills but usually only ran on flat surfaces) and had to run up and down some stairs (running up my legs YELLED at me) but apart from that it was actually a really enjoyable run!

My next run is definitely going to be a slightly slower run though, as feel like my legs might suffer today and tomorrow.

Here is my nice photo of my route - good luck on everyone's next run!

Thank you! I don’t know where I would be in regards to running without listening to something! Rain is nice to run in as long as it isn’t absolute downpour!! I am cigarette free still, got about 9 days until I’m 3 months free! 😊x
