A fourth dimensional overtake

[Snail61]

In recent weeks I've been treating myself to a walk after my run. Today I decided to run 5k and walk 5k back to back only pausing long enough to save my run and allow the watch to reacquire satellites before initiating the walk. The full 10k took me 1hr 13mins 05secs. As I walked along in the sunshine I couldn't help smiling as I remembered the terrible run I had last Saturday. Rain pouring down my neck and bouncing off the watch face as I tried to read it! I just couldn't find my mojo or any pace. Today in the sun, I glance at my watch to see I'm striding along at my best walking pace of 7.2/km. Last Saturday I was "running " along at 7.45/km, so I could have overtaken myself walking. Lol I think if I had an HG Wells time machine I'd have done just that just to have seen the look on my face! Happy running everyone!

Cracking 5k time of 31:26, the walking one is pretty impressive too, I think it’s about time you changed that name of yours Snail61....what about TurboSnail 👍

Great idea but I like my old shell.
