OMG I just ran my first 5k. I am ecstatic.

I had a bit of a break and only did 2 runs in 2wks since graduating (bit naughty)

So today I went out thinking I’d do another of wk9s runs. I had Michael in my ear and when he said that’s time for your 5min cool down walk I looked at my distance and was at 4.5k so I thought go for it you got this, and I did.

Managed 5k in 35 mins and I feel like I’ve got the bug again.

I’m now going to try to stick to 2-3 runs a week

Anyone else who hasn’t run for a week or so - get back out and give it your best. πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈyou may just surprise yourself πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†

Thank you I’m so happy. You will reach it. Just keep at it. I

I wouldn’t recommend taking a break it really did take a lot to even get my running gear on today, and I had a failed run on Monday (got 8mins in and everything went wrong) which nearly put me off for life πŸ˜³πŸ˜‚

Stuck with it and I bet you’ll be there in no time πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ

There must have been something in the air on Monday, I had a terrible run too, it made me grumpy all day! It's a bit frustrating at times but yes, we need to just keep at it πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

It’s weird because my Monday runs are normally my best- but not this week πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ

I just walked home and thought β€œit’s one bad one in all the fab ones” and I let it go. So glad I did or it would have been on my mind today, thankfully it wasn’t and look what happenedπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ🏻

Keep up the fantastic running πŸ’ͺ🏻
