This time last year.....

I’d have laughed at anyone who said that I’d get running gear for Christmas and be thrilled with it and that I’d be out running on Boxing Day 😂 That I’d be trawling the internet for running gear in the sales (new leggings etc.) That I’d have a quiet, contained Christmas Day and that I’d love it.

And lastly, that a very real highlight of Christmas would be getting a PB today. I often marvel at other people’s pace and think I’m SO much slower than that and I am STILL slow but I was a bit less slow today and I feel great 😁

I’ve done a few 5k pavement runs after a few weeks of mainly treadmill running and I think that has helped. I stand ready to be corrected. Nowt will burst my bubble today 🥳🥳🥳

You and me the same. Running was not something I would even have given the slightest thought to this time last year.

Doing anything other than flopping on the sofa on Boxing Day would have been unthinkable.

Great post and congratulations on your 5k pb. Remember, run for you. A snail’s 🐌 5k is the same distance as a Speedy gazelle’s 🦌 😉. I’m all for embracing the inner snail. She’ll speed up when she’s ready 😊
