My first run for the weekly virtual 5K

no drama run , except i forgot to start my music for the first 5 minutes and couldn't figure out what was different haha πŸ˜‚

this was my 3rd 5K and turned out to be my most comfortable yet and even managed to shave over 4 minutes off my first 5k time !

Happy days 😬

Be careful with that injury if you are increasing pace though (sorry to nag!)

Your not nagging, I understand !

It wasn't actually a conscious increase , I was just pacing it by my breathing

Nice run, might give running without music a go at some point, one less thing to faff with before a run lol.

Thank you , I think the 4 mins is because the injury didn't bother me , but I'd be nervous to try and maintain it , think I should just concentrate on 5k now at whatever pace 😁

Gannet1Graduateβ€’ in reply toInstructor57

A bit better, thanks for asking Instructor57! 😊 It’s going to take a few weeks, so I’m not taking any short cuts. For once in my life, I’m doing what I’m told! πŸ˜„πŸ‘
