I did it 5k 😊. Birthday run determination.

I was determined to run for 5k and I made it my birthday challenge. Cannot believe I did it , in fact a little bit more, but that’s only because it was downhill to home.

I struggled with my pace, but there were a few inclines. Sooooo pleased I completed my first 5k. Was very red faced when I finished, which I haven’t been for a while, reminded me of my first few weeks.

Hubby and the pooch bought me a Garmin so was itching to test it out πŸ˜„.

Lovely flowers from our daughter and going out for a meal tonight... I think I deserve a dessert now 🀣.

Happy running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Congratulations on your first 5k !πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

And Happy Birthday πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‰πŸ₯³

What a wonderful memorable birthday this will be for you 😁

Don't worry about things like pace. That comes with time. I still struggle to get that right almost 4 months after graduation.

Enjoy your magnificent achievement and have a wonderful birthday evening

Oh well done you πŸ‘πŸ‘ I think you had your sights set on this so what a fab day to do it πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ˜„

Beautiful flowers and I bet your having fun with your own garmin .

I bought one ( it was on offer πŸ™„πŸ˜‰) around week 8 I think and although I know I should do a bit more reading to fully get all its benefits I just love getting that wee screen with the three circles when I get home πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚

Hope you’re having a fabulous evening and I’d go for something very chocolatey, unless of course there’s lemon posset on the go πŸ˜‰πŸ€”πŸ˜‹

Happy times ! βœ¨πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Yes I did, especially after Sunday’s tech issue. I set myself a challenge to do it on my birthday.

Played around with my new watch this morning and was great looking at new stats this evening. Can’t stop running now hubby had bought me one haha 🀣

Had a lovely evening ending with sticky toffee pudding, yum πŸ˜‹

Will need to do another 5k to work the pudding off now πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚
