Morning c25kers! (and beyond!)

Today was a very good day! Up and out for around 6am and returned to a previous route to mix things up, knew from the second I set off that it felt good. Despite not charging the headphones again I set off without tunes but after about 5 mins decided to just play Spotify on my phone which I was holding anyway, turned it up nice and loud 😁 a nice "good morning" from a dog walker as I shot down the side of the golf course, then a laugh out loud moment as I overtook somebody on a bend as The Chain by Fleetwood Mac blasted over my speaker 🤣🤣🤣 that baseline really did make me run quicker too! 💪🏻🏎️🏎️😂

I again didn't keep time and run remained steady and smooth, got to allotments near home and figured I'd done 20 mins... Had a look 28 mins 😁 had a glance at my distance and pace and was pretty amazed! Had already beaten my best run and had couple mins to go! Picked up the pace and finished strong and could have easily kept going, the though did seriously cross my mind but want to do this right and build up correctly. No aches or pains today and I feel great after that run 👌🏻 it was too dark for a nice sunrise photo but I've uploaded the data as usual.

Good luck to all running today especially my running pals close to the end! 🏃🏃‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️👍🏻

Well done bud - great run today 👍 that's nearly 5.5k!!! 💪 May be that was your gazelle run 🦌!!!

I'll bet it was pretty cold this morning.....how did you find it? Hopefully nice warm ears with your new headband 🤣 I keep imagining you with fluffy ear muffs on but I'm sure you look much cooler than that 🤣

[Jericho2332 Graduate in reply to StoneDragon]

Fluffy ear muffs would be good 😂😂😂

Thanks SD! Today was a really nice run, coldish but not wet or windy so it was enjoyable once I got moving. The headband/ear warmer combo does help but cool they will never be! 😂 I got a 3 pack from Amazon for 7.50 think the brand was Tagvo, sort of a looks like a thin fleece wrestling helmet 😂, keeps the sweat off, keeps my ears warm and allows top of my head to stay cool/release heat so I'm happy with that 👍🏻 I certainly felt a little gazelle like on a couple of sections of the run and always felt like I could go faster and longer if I wanted to, didn't push my luck though and was very pleased with what I did 👍🏻

Another great early morning run-positivity definitely makes you run faster and enjoy it more. It’s a good feeling when you get to the end but don’t feel burnt out - you’re getting a bit good at this running lark

now! 👍🏻👍🏻

[Jericho2332 Graduate in reply to Bambi2020]

Thanks Bambi, I don't know about getting good at it but it's certainly getting a little easier and quicker 😂

Are you sure you’re not Brendon Foster with a time like that, you are flying! Great post again by yourself and another great run.

[Jericho2332 Graduate in reply to Jcksam]

😂😂😂 Thank you! I did feel quick today, especially on a couple of sections. I think Bredon may be safe for a while yet though 😂👍🏻
