Consolidation Run 1

Thoroughly enjoyed my first consolidation run this morning; sun was shining and I’d prearranged to run with my virtual running buddy met through this forum, @acountrycabbage. We both set off in our respective parts of England at 10am and was lovely knowing we were doing it together - though separately.. then comparing notes once back..

I listened to Laura’s Stepping Stone podcast for the first time as I’ve said my farewell’s to Jo. Really enjoyed Laura’s informative technique explanations and tutorials along the way.. I have learned to use my arms properly and it made all the difference!

Feeling great now and looking forward to the day ahead and the ☀️ ☀️

Yes it’s not easy in the mornings when it’s dark, cold and damp. I’m doing lunchtimes as working from home thank goodness!

Do you suffer from asthma?

Aaaw...I did my first run today too...started at 9:20 🙄

it was a bit late for me actually...I’d overslept 🤦🏻‍♀️ I thought I’d do 3 weeks straight 3x30” and then explore the podcasts.

Nice to get this first run done 😊

Good plan.. I did enjoy branching out and trying something new, gave me a pep in my stride and I ran a bit further! Good luck with it.

Well done Sussex ☺️. Certainly was the better day than yesterday 😎.

I find it strange not having Jo with me anymore, my look into the Stepping Stone podcast.

Try the Stepping Stone, I quite liked listening to someone different and was quite instructional too, which helped my technique no end!
