W4R3 or what?

Wasn't sure when I set iff whether I would just do 4k this morning or go for the 8k, decided to go off at about 7 mins /km, soon sensed that I would be going for the longer distance, it wasn't too hot and I was mainly in the shade, a couple of difficult bits on very sandy trails in the forest BUT...

Today I really felt like a runner, actually enjoyed the feeling if keeping going, so much so that the 8k turned into 9 and sprinted the last 100m.

A number of firsts, 9k, running for over an hour and most importantly I enjoyed it.

Happy running everybody πŸƒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Steve, you are The Man!! Lovely job.

Ripcurlrana71 might let you borrow her Garmin next time to push you over that 10K mark.

Running for an hour? Madness, I say, madness!! xx

Thanks, I may well be heading for a tech overload, strava, fitbit, maybe a Garmin, I won't be able to move!

Thanks mountaindreamer but if I can do this, I am sure you can, I think the sun, the moon and the stars all aligned this morning to help me.

Give me a couple more weeks, then I’m popping over the bridge to join in the fun. Sounds like I need to check my star charts first then...πŸ˜‚πŸ˜Š
