Hi Runners
My last run was on Saturday, but I packed my kit to run while I am away. I got home yesterday pumped up and excited as it was still light, getting my kit out, thinking ๐ญ.......happy days๐!! And then what? Trainers โ ๐ Top ๐ โ ......dig.....dig....๐ญ, โwhereโs my leggingsโ? ๐ต.....yep!.....AWOL! ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
So making light of my plight (we wonโt call it stupidity! Thatโs not nice! ๐) I decide, well it looks like thereโs no running until I get home on Friday. I go for dinner and let it go!
However this morning, I was thinking ๐ญ (I know...again! ๐) I might be able to buy some later, but is it worth doing that? To cut a long story short, a couple of my VRBs had suggested running in undergarments! Yes.....you know who you are!! ๐ถ๐ And they were duly advised โNot a chance in Hโ! Besides, Iโd be escorted off the Island!! ๐คบ๐คบ๐คบ๐
I took a short trip into town at lunch time and browsing the sale rack, I find a pair of old school leggings. No price tag, but thought it would do the trick!! Guess what?........50p!! Weeeeeelll, now thatโs a gremlin busting bargain and a half!! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐ So, I know my run is on! I have a spa and gym where Iโm staying this week ๐, so I decide to go and take a look, face โthe machineโ and see how it goes ๐ฌ.
I did W1R1 on the treadmill, but never been back since! It wasnโt one of those virtual running screen ones like today, so this was different and kind of fun. I definitely prefer to be outdoors. I really didnโt understand how to operate it either, so it was a flat 7.1 pace all of the way. There was no straight forward up and down buttons to vary the pace. That said, itโs done!! I did 3k! Not so much buzz for me today, as I had to focus quite a bit, but Iโm glad I got there and had another new adventure!! My 50p leggings made it possible and itโs in the bag!! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐โค๏ธ
