2nd 5k -CR17

Exactly 7 days ago was when I last went for a run. Had a work week from hell (readying for 2 weeks off) and just wasn’t able to fit in a run. I was really frustrated, then yesterday due to bad planning I missed my chance again. But today I was determined, late afternoon after the chores were done, the child had been excercised in the park it was my plan to do a run and end up at the Sainsburys local where I needed to pick up said child’s Xmas presents. I set a NRC 45mins cold run, even though it didn’t feel that cold. I really enjoyed it, coach whatsit was just the right amount of company, really relaxed into the run and managed to take in lots of my surroundings - enjoyed all the Xmas decorations. By the time I was nearing the end I was so close to 5k I just ran around the block a few times, so so pleased - I went 6 minutes faster than my first 5k seven runs prior! Really helped my head get straight after our Christmas plans have been scuppered. Had to do the 20 mins walk home with arms full of presents but gave me a good opportunity to warm down! Am psyched for my next run 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️

Sounds like a great experience and a good use of time. Next time, running with shopping bags? 😁

Coach Bennett 👍 love the NRC guided runs, done loads of them. Glad to hear you found time and enjoyed your run. Those presents look intriguing 🤔

Coach Bennett yes, I am really bad at remembering names. I have grown quite accustomed to his guided runs, makes me chuckle which helps. Which one shall I choose for tomorrow! Exciting.

I like the Don't wanna run run, or First Fartlek Run - that's a real hoot! 🤣
