What a difference two days make. Loved this run w8r2

I set out this afternoon in my final run of 2020. I am normally a morning runner but it was a really heavy frost do I thought I'd wait for it to thaw a bit... Hey...check out that phrase-"I"and "runner" in the same sentence 🤩😂 who'd have thunk it!

I embarked on the session with a positive attitude and with a mindset that I could go as slow as I wanted. My last few runs have ended up too fast and then I've been out of synch and not enjoyed it so much. I forgot to start my watch until I'd been walking for about a minute but no worries.

The weather was glorious. Many of the village residents were out enjoying the crisp sunshine. There was no wind so no freezing ears.

I had been getting frustrated about the BPM of my music but today, I just enjoyed it and didn't try to run to any beat in particular, just a steady comfortable pace. I didn't want to run without any music.

The beauty of my surroundings took over and I opened up my phone's camera. I was snapping shots here and there, hoping to to have too much blur as I didn't want to stop. I managed to get a number of lovely ones and have posted a few.

I am wondering if I'll be ready for the 30 mins after only one more 28 min run but I'm staying positive and I'm sure it's achievable.

Happy new year to all you lovely people. Thanks for all the advice and support. Can't wait to be smashing this couch to 5k in the first week of the new year. What a great start to what I hope is a fabulous 2021 for everyone 🤩🍀🥰🏃🏼‍♀️💪🍻🤞🥳🥳🥳

2 more minutes for you. No problem. Not with those sunsets!

It doesn't sound much I know...I can do it 😁😁 thank you. The view certainly help to get me round. I love photography in any case so seeing the views change as I ran and just capturing them on my way helped to distract me no end 😂

You've definitely got what it takes to beat that 30 minutes Lindsey1097 just no piccies running only 💪 great readable posting 👍👍

Thank you 🤩 I can't promise not to take pics tho ha ha... It's such a welcome distraction and I don't stop running 😉

[Hidden in reply to Lindsey1097]

I kinda get that piccie moment when you've just got to capture it 👍

Likewise Lindsey - great run and lovely pics! 😍

Sounds like you’ve got C25K in the bag with that mindset 👌🏼 Those extra 2 mins will be a cinch! Keep looking ahead to that finish line! 🏁🏆🌟

Check you out, you’re a runner! And what great pics. Love the pink vesty thing (don’t know the official name) but it looks nice and lightweight 😀. I’m just one run behind you, did W8R1 yesterday, and really enjoyed it, especially as everything looked so sparkly and pretty. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

[Lindsey1097 Graduate]

Thank you 🤩 ha ha, the Vesty thing is just like high-viz straps, one round the waist and one over each shoulder. It is very comfy and just clips at the waist. I wear it day or night. It's my running uniform ☺️Good luck with your next runs too.. We're nearly there 💪🍀🏃🏼‍♀️😁
