5k run in May

Yesterday I went for what I thought would be a 4k run building up the distance again after not having run for a while. Work has been very busy lately with an endless sequence of meetings to attend and no time for lunch runs anymore. Come to think about it, lunch has been replaced by lunch meetings most of the days. As my planned circuit ended up being 4.7k anyway I pushed on to complete the full 5k and earned the 5k Strava trophy for May. Looking at my trophies I saw the last registered 5k trophy was from August 2021 which came as a shock. Looking at my runs I was relieved to see I did actually still run 5k in December 2021 but that was the last one. How time flies when you are procrastinating ! Luckily I have been taking the bike to work quite a bit this year already so in terms of fitness the run from yesterday wasn’t too taxing, I’m just deliberately building up the distance slowly to get the body used to running and into the routine again.
