5 KM done this morning 🏆

[XenaZelda]

was it the rain? was it the shoes ( wore my other ASICS Novablast) was it pure determination? Was it because I felt good this morning? Was it the marathon pace setter music on BBC sounds? Or a combination of all of them? Even with the first 6 minutes of the run up hilly road and faster pace with each kilometre ( although it is a slow pace for a lot of people) I achieved my longest I have ever run in my life in 40 mins 56 seconds and faster than I predicted, even with an early stage lung condition my VO2 max has increased from 30 a month ago to 32 today woohoo, I am so so happy right now, I was soaked through but feel so exhilarated and so happy 😀

my lovely ASICS Novablast, I have had them a few months but this morning was the first time I wore them 😃

ASICS Novablast black and pink

Ooh, they look nice! A sensible colour, too, seeing how mine always end up grey anyway!

thank you, they are my cushioned so I felt like I was bouncing along
