This morning was my first run for 10 days. Last week I was frightened of getting caught in a thunderstorm βοΈ and earlier this week I was busy celebrating my 60th birthday π±ππ€£πππ₯π₯΄. I decided to take it slowly and do my best. It was blowing a gale π¬οΈπͺοΈ and within seconds my hat was gone! Why did I think it a good idea to wear a hat?! I managed to grab my hat before it was gone forever and held on to it tightly. I ran at a steady pace along the single track country lane near my house managing not to be squished by two tractors π π trundling along. I wasn't sure how long I could run for today and after 25 minutes decided that was it. π When I got home and checked my stats I'd run 3.51K at a pace of 7.10/km. My fastest time!!! Happy with that π
A run in the breeze: This morning was my first... - Couch to 5K

A belated happy birthday to you NorfolkWifey, I hope you had a great day and that cake was delicious.
Good run and time for you despite the weather being so windy, I am sure that your next run will be quicker and hopefully not run in such windy weather. π ππΎ

It just goes to prove that there really is life after 60.............
Keep running, keep smiling.

Happy 60th! Well done on the run too. I'm 61 next month and hadn't run for 42 years. Even way back then I was a sprinter and loved the buzz from being fast. I have no idea why I decided to do this program and j honestly didn't think I'd get past 5 minutes of running. Good to have you to follow due to our similar age. I'm hoping to do my last run tomorrow. Good luck with yours xx
Hi Lindy! I was inspired to do the C25K by my cousin and a friend that did it last year. I'd been thinking about it for ages then when we went into lockdown I thought now's the perfect time to start. π So, since graduating, I'm trying to continue to run 3 times a week, it doesn't matter if I don't do 30 minutes or reach 5K every time, it's all good exercise and is improving my health and fitness.
Good luck for your final run!

No we mustn't stop after all the hard work! I'd also like to take part in the Saturday morning Park Runs when they get going again. x
