Forgot my watch

Well I’ve never done that before! put my garmin on to charge then forgot to put it back on before we went out

As it’s a week day we went to the park, set off Zombies Run and my playlist that I’ve added quite a lot of ELO to, thanks Buddy34 for mentioning them I’d forgotten what a good beat they have

A lost Child, off we go

I followed Willow round the track, using him as a pacer because I’ve a habit of going off too fast getting puffed out and then by the time I’ve sorted my breathing out not having much left in my legs to speed up

Park almost empty, another runner, going the other way, we’ve seen him before, he goes head down and ploughs on at a much faster pace than us

1k in and he’s stopped for a breather, I surge forward a bit leaving Willow to his nice steady pace, but then I’m running to get to the lost child and he isn’t

Another kilometre and the other runner is stopped again, we exchange a few words as I pass by

Ask if I can follow him next time round I want to see how long I can keep up, he’s on his last round so has slowed down some and I kept up fir half way round then let him go ahead as I had another 10 minutes to go,

So, half hour of good running, good tunes, and joined back up with Willow for the last 5 mins and home again 😀

Happy running all and enjoy good music if it’s your thing

Sounds like a great run for you 👍👏. You forgetting your watch and me deliberately leaving my mobile behind 😂

You can always record your run straight onto Strava on your mobile.

Never thought of that, I did have map and stats on Zombies Run but can’t remember how I found it lol

That's a lovely run! Nice to meet familiar faces on a run.

That familiar face looks so determined running so fast it sort of made me feel better about our slow pace when i kept seeing him stop to take a breather, Walk I will if I feel the need but stop? never yet lol 😂

Haha I have the same principle! Stopping is the cardinal sin, don't stop, slow down, crawl, tip toe even!!

Yes, the music was good just no Garmin stays, mind you Garmin hates me as I’m getting older and older lol

Always good to keep up with a faster runner for a bit 👍 shame about the watch, but I think we’ve all done it x

I almost did that today! It was on charge in the lounge and I had almost shut the front door when I remembered. If I had I don't think I would have gone back for it, I would probably have just used Strava on my mobile instead.I love the image of you trying to keep in that faster runners slipstream 😁

It was fun running after him and he wasn’t as fast as i had thought mind you it was his last time round before going home, Funny not having the watch, but I still had the zombies lol

Or maybe it was because you were running faster than you thought you were 💪👍😁

Good for you W&S. You’re more nonchalant about leaving your watch behind than I’d ever be! 😅

I might have been more stressed about it if i hadn’t set up a half hour Zombies Run on my phone
