Birthday run

4.3km in 38 minutes this morning. That's my longest run yet and that elusive 5K is is getting closer. I was going to have a long lie this morning as it's my birthday but decided to get up and out instead. It'll help offset all the treats I'll be eating later if nothing else. I set my time for 30 mins with no expectation of going further but I felt I had more in the tank so just kept going for a bit. Also had my first visit to the hairdresser yesterday post lockdown so I'm feeling great today :-)

Thank you. I'm very chuffed. Trying to increase my time gradually rather than push too hard too fast and then injure myself.

I surprised myself to be honest but I'd had 2 rest days so I was ready to get back out. My mindset is definitely changing for the better :-)

Happy birthday! 🎉 Well done on the run, a great way to start a birthday. I think that warrants an extra large slice of cake 🍰
