Sunset over the sea, 5k under my feet...

W9R1 done and feeling very proud of myself. I was procrastinating a bit trying to work out routes on Strava and eventually thought this is silly, got my shoes on and got out. Lovely sunset over the estuary as I was running (photo taken on the hoof so doesn't really do it justice). The route wasn't perfect, I had to do a bit of doubling back and the last bit was all along the road, but definitely better than still being on the sofa tinkering with my route planner until it was too dark to run.

I tried to take it at a comfortable pace rather than pushing too much and had enough left at the end to keep going beyond 30 minutes until my phone ticked over to 5k.... I still don't quite believe I did it :) What a programme this is!

Thanks, I wasn't exactly planning to do it in the first run of the week but it seemed to work out :)
