Consolidation Run 22 ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

B210K - W2R2

5K ๐ŸŽฏ

Iโ€™m not sure if it was the three ๐Ÿป last night or running a short 1 mile yesterday on my rest day but my body was achey today ๐Ÿ˜–

Because of this I decided to have a rest day today but after popping on here and seeing everyoneโ€™s efforts I changed my mind. Everyone is pushing through with their runs whilst dealing with all kinds of things in their lives so I can get over a few niggles ๐Ÿคญ

I knew I needed to be pushed by my music choice so I opted for a 167BPM playlist ๐ŸŽต and had told myself Iโ€™d be happy with a sub 6 minute per K and a sub 30 minute 5K.

Although my body was aching and I felt like today was a bit of a struggle the music must have down the trick โœ…

Iโ€™m really really happy with this run and I will be treating myself with a lovely long hot soak in the bath ๐Ÿ›€ followed by some (naughty) nice food and a relaxing film ๐Ÿฟ

Happy running all! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Great run and great pace- especially as you weren't up for it.๐Ÿ‘

My plan was to get up early and do my 6k run this morning but after only 3 hours sleep it just didn't happen.

Now I feel guilty after reading about everyone else's achievements on here so I may well go get changed and get one of this weeks runs in the bag!

Decided to run in the end. Not sure if that was the best decision as it was a bit of a struggle to get to 5k

Rest day tomorrow then Monday will be my short "recovery" run ๐Ÿ˜
