Done my 3rd consolidation run this morning & my first with no coach in my ear - just started my watch after my warm up walk & off i went. Had John Taylor reading me his autobiography on Audible & a beautiful, bright, cool scottish morning. Got so lost in the heady tales of life in an 80’s pop band i didnt even notice the time & before i knew it I was nearly home with more gas left in the tank. Decided to take a wee detour on my normal route & finally hit the 5k mark for the first time!!!!

So proud of myself for reaching it, actually enjoying it & for realising that im free now to run for me. My first consolidation run I had to stop at 20 mins for a wee 1 min walk, this one I could’ve went for ages, the next one who knows? I feel like lm finally embracing the freedom & joy of running & Im loving it 🏃🏻‍♀️
