Benchmark Run, wrong turn ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Tuesday Morning is my benchmark run where I run a set route in 30 minutes to see if Iโ€™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 didnโ€™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 Iโ€™ll take that as a win ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Oh, and Iโ€™m down another pound this week, rapidly approaching a full stone now ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

Happy Running everybody

That sounds brill. Things donโ€™t work out as planned sometimes but turn out even better for the changes weโ€™re forced to make ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I always do my benchmark runs at parkrun. I wonโ€™t get lost as Iโ€™m always following someone. Well done on your weight loss too. Great effort.

You can keep the pound, no charge ๐Ÿ˜

It was dark and there are a series of avenues that all look the same. I didnโ€™t realise Iโ€™d missed my turn until I came to a major junction! Must have been in the zone!
