Windy consolidation run!

Well after a week away and 2 weeks since a run outside (been on the treadmill a few times) I felt determined to get my mojo back this week and fit in at least 2 5k runs a week in prep for the bridge to 10k plan which starts on the 5th!...

Took myself on a loop route so I didn't chicken out and stuck to my goal... Great thinking as it spurred me on. But I hadn't appreciated that my last km was going to be against this crazy wind out in the open! πŸ˜ŸπŸ˜ŸπŸ˜ŸπŸ˜– gruelling!! Im pretty sure I was running backwards for some of it but i did it! πŸ™Œ Next run will surely be easier than that!!

Well done - running in to a strong headwind is hard! πŸ’¨πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ Let's hope the wind drops a little for your next run - and good luck with the Magic 10k plan too! πŸ‘πŸ™‚

Thank you! Was certainly interesting! But I figured that it must be good resistance training right?! 🀣 really looking forward to taking on the next challenge too!

Yep, good strength work definately!πŸ˜‚ Progressing to 10k is brilliant - just keep your pace down for the longer runs and you will fine.πŸ™‚
