Forgot my watch

[SueAppleRun]

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

Great run there, shame about the watch but I. Sure you can do a manual entry. Happy running 🤗

Thanks, I’m not too worried about manual entry I’m just happy i can run

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

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.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jools2020]

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

[9weeks2Run Graduate10]

Well done Sola and Willow on your run.

Thank you

[limu_mu Graduate10]

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

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to limu_mu]

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 😂

[limu_mu Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

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

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to limu_mu]

Yes 😀

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

Yikes!! It fills me with dread thinking about forgetting my watch!!! Well done for not going home!! 😜

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mummycav]

It’s only a few minutes in the car and the thought did cross my mind but we were in the park and hen i went to set my watch so just kept going

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

💪🏻

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Great running even though you forgot your watch, easily done now everything is on charge nowadays. I love my music when running 😊😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

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

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

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

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

First time for everything x

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

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 😁

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

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

[Birdlady64 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

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

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

It may have been

[Week7 Graduate10]

Sounds like a really enjoyable run...!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Week7]

actually yes it was thanks

[Week7 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thats what it's all about isn't it!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Week7]

Yes I love just running 🏃‍♂️

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Sounds like a great run regardless!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

It was enjoyable even though only half an hour, i’m off this coming weekend so hopefully get a run in

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to SueAppleRun]

👍🤞🏼

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

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

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

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