Benchmark Run, wrong turn 😩

[Rigpig]

Tuesday Morning is my benchmark run where I run a set route in 30 minutes to see if I’m improving in pace and distance, this morning I missed my turning and before I knew it I was running and trying to see where I was on google maps so that I could get back on track. Anyway I managed to do so but not before I had navigated 2 hills that I didn’t know existed, which I managed to do with a bit of extra effort and ended up back where I was supposed to be. I finished in my usual place and had covered slightly more distance and knocked a fraction off my pace but with the addition of 2 hills I’ll take that as a win 😎

Oh, and I’m down another pound this week, rapidly approaching a full stone now 🎉🎉🎉

Happy Running everybody

Fantastic effort, love those extra hills. Weight loss too, what more can you ask for? Happy running

That has to be a double personal victory. 😁😁

That sounds brill. Things don’t work out as planned sometimes but turn out even better for the changes we’re forced to make 👍😃

A wrong turn , 2 hills and more weight loss you're definitely on a roll. I hope it continues 😊😊👍

I always do my benchmark runs at parkrun. I won’t get lost as I’m always following someone. Well done on your weight loss too. Great effort.

Hi, your pound found me 😀 well done on losing it

Your running just gets stronger too and you must be fast to miss a turn i only do that in the car, nearly ended up at the channel tunnel once with the joy of fast motorway driving a

You can keep the pound, no charge 😁

It was dark and there are a series of avenues that all look the same. I didn’t realise I’d missed my turn until I came to a major junction! Must have been in the zone!

Yeah you must have been, I will pass the pound on, I have a friend who’s lost loads she might not mind a pound coming back lol
