Consolidation run 7 (wk3) - By the light of the silvery moon

So I was debating whether to slob in front of the tv and have a G & T, when I clicked on to here and started reading through posts..

Mostly inspired by @Imc50 who was cajoled into a run by said mentioned teenager and then getting a similar nudge by my son Ryan (on lockdown at uni) .....

That was it, all I needed really.

Having only run on Monday of this week so far and being bogged down with driving miles to go to interviews, I figured I was lagging behind a bit anyway.

Perfect night for a run round Prestbury village as it turned out.

8C, twinkly kind of sky with a sliver of moon and the smell of woodsmoke hanging heavy in the air...

Sticking to the 'naked' running for now and on a night like tonight, it was perfectly still and peaceful. All I could really hear was the sound of my breathing and my running shoes crunching on the leaves...

I told myself if I struggled tonight I was going to do intervals. However, once I got to 15 minutes I ran out of inner gremlin excuses and ploughed on.

I was quite pleased with myself about that...gave myself a little pat on the back.

Tonight was a steady 4km and no issues.

My pace didn't alter from the first to the second mile either so nice and consistent. I didn't push tonight and just wanted to enjoy the quiet of the run as it's been a stressful week. Worked a treat as it happens, feeling heaps better already.

Seems like a run was just what I needed. ☺️

I did wonder whether I'd keep up this running malarkey post graduation, but it turns out I'm doing just that👌

Hope everyone is doing okay out there.

I was genuinely motivated by the posts tonight so thank you all....🥰

How did those interviews go? Did the hair do the trick 🤞

Well done Burkey46, nice to hear your still out there running and enjoying it, not sure I could run ‘naked’ as you say, I do enjoy my Nike Run Club app and music for company. I did run without music once when my phone malfunctioned, but didn’t like hearing just the sound of my breathing.....each to there own though I say 👍🏃‍♀️

Brilliant Burkey46.

Well done Hidden it sounds like a lovely run and just what you needed after the week you’ve had. 🏃‍♀️👍

I wasn’t sure I was going to continue once I’d graduated, but here I am 2.5 years later😊 I doubt I’d have made it without the support and encouragement on here🙂 and now I wouldn’t be without it! 🏃‍♂️

[LottieMW Graduate]

Well done 👍

[CazzaW Graduate]

Glad your run made you feel better after the week you’ve had 🙂 good on Ryan for the nudge. Fingers crossed for good news on the job front 🤞

Hope you have a restful weekend and get that G&T 😊

Well done for sticking at it Burkey 👍🏼

Sounds like a perfect naked run, the stillness of the night and autumn smoky smells sounds blissful..🌜✨

Evening Burkey... glad you got a couple of runs in this week, it will help with your headspace.

I hope everything works out soon with the job front, such a stressful time, I hope the running is helping.

Hope you enjoyed a big G&T ☺️
