Hey runners!!

Back out there today after one of my good VRBs UnfitNoMore advised Nike has an achievement for a run today! Nice, subtle encouragement! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Well, it worked, as I thought, ๐Ÿ˜ฏ yes... I should go and get that! But in the middle of the day and with work to do before the end? It needs to be sensible! Do I go or leave it? Look...if Iโ€™m being true to myself, I should just make time and go! How much time? Well....thatโ€™s a different matter. ๐Ÿ˜Š

So, the thing I like about my app is, it seems to cater for every mood and capability. And low and behold thereโ€™s a 10 minute run! I briefly considered it cheating, but from where Iโ€™ve been...(at ground zero), thereโ€™s really no cheating involved here! So, 10 minutes it was! Iโ€™ve got to give myself a little cheer for those short few minutes. I did it when I could have so easily thought itโ€™s not worth it! But Gremlins, Iโ€™m on it and youโ€™ve been slayed! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜

Happy running to everyone out there today and every day! No matter how long or how slow! Youโ€™re running and thatโ€™s so much better than zero!! Until next time Runners!! Enjoy! โค๏ธ

I also spotted the short run on Nike today, it will come in handy at some point.

Only friendly runners out in the rain today :-)

Hope you feel pleased you did it!

Yes CouchPotato, it certainly did come in handy, It was a bit blustery today, but it blew off some cobwebs nice and quickly!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Thank you!! ๐Ÿค—โค๏ธ

Actually it must be nice going for a shorter run as you know you can run as fast as you want and it will soon be done ;-)

Ah Couchpotato I wish I could say it was fast, but alas it was pretty slow too! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚! But youโ€™re right! If you just want to go for it! Itโ€™s a great way to do it! ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ

Well done for getting out there and happy IWD! I know what you mean - I tend to think anything less than 30 minutes isnโ€™t a real run (not least because showering and drying my hair takes longer ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚)!

Fabulous450Graduate10โ€ข in reply toMummycav

Mummycav! Thereโ€™s one thing Iโ€™m certain of, I wonโ€™t give up! When I started this programme, my car broke down and I didnโ€™t have any way to get to the gym to continue with W1R2! I was planning to do this on the treadmill ๐Ÿค. But, then had to brave the streets or give up until I had my car back. ๐Ÿค” I didnโ€™t stop being a driver because I had no car! And the car was a right off in the end ๐Ÿ™. So good job, I found the courage to do it another way. New car now and Iโ€™m still running outdoors! Result!! ๐Ÿ˜†

๐Ÿค” I donโ€™t stop being a runner when life gets in the way of running. I just have challenging times, like most human beings ๐Ÿฅด and you know what......I know that will be ok! Iโ€™ll continue to gain from every experience too. Life surely is an adventure! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝโค๏ธ
