CR 11

Wasn’t sure about going out for a run 🏃‍♀️ this morning as the weather has turned cold 🥶 & sleety. Didn’t want to slip!

Decided to give it a go after checking in my back garden 🪴.

Very pleased I did. Managed my first 5km for December @ 38:30 which was a little better than my previous 5km. It was hard and I did have to stop once to take off my fleece as I had got so hot 🥵!! (I just can’t seem to run very well when I am hot ?) and again near the end as I needed to take on some water 💦. I guess that is ok 👌.

My usual route had large puddles & was muddy so I had to just make up the route as I went which included a few more inclines which I really don’t like. I much prefer the flat so was pleased with my time and that I kept going and made it to the end.

Happy 😊 running 🏃‍♀️ to you all. ❄️☔️🏃‍♂️

Yes I have had a look at some of the posts. Just wonder if I need to be more comfortable with 5km first?

Ah good point Angie only you know when that time is, the magic plan is a great one to follow, it's not set in stone and like C25k you can go at your own pace 👍

Wow, well done Angie!! Another 5k in the bag and a PB too, congrats! Hope you enjoy a rest in the warm this evening knowing you got out there and did a run earlier. Have a great weekend!

Well done, sounds a good run, 5k, and a good pace too, know what you mean, about getting too hot, i see other runners out, jackets, hats, gloves, long trousers, and there's me in my shorts, long sleeve top, sometimes have short sleeve, underneath, have worn gloves once, and got too hot! 🤣 and doesnt it feel good, after a run, when it's been cold/raining, an even bigger achievement!!! 😀
