It’s all in the planning… well almost

[61Lady]

I’ve not run with any podcast, music, coach in my ears since before Christmas - just let my thoughts wander but yesterday I put together a 30 min playlist in prep for today.🎶

Last night before bed, I got all my running gear together in the spare room ready for this morning. Headphones, phone and watch all fully charged and waiting for me.

Alarm went at 6am … just one 10 min snooze I think 💤… and then another 😴 … and then other 🛌 and as I flung out my hand once again I stopped. What on earth is the point of getting everything ready and then not going ? 🙄

So yes - 6.30am and slinging on my running gear. Armed with all gadgets I make my way downstairs for my door key. Oh no - the one thing I didn’t factor in is that keys were not “where I always put them” ! 🔑 Note to self to include keys on prep list

A quick scout around to find them (not where they should be at all) and finally out the door at 6.45 - still not too bad I suppose ?

Glorious morning and had a marvellous run - 3k in just under 23mins which is a record for me. 🏅Walked back just as the last of my playlist was going.

I’m so pleased I didn’t snooze one more time 😉

Run or rest well my forum friends 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Well done on getting out so early. Wise decision as it!s very hot today 😎🌝

I know - so glad I went early - it was very warm even then. Lovely that I’m still in short sleeves 👕

I wore shorts and vest yesterday but crikey it was ‘ot! 🌝🔥☄️ Not that I’m complaining 🙂. I ran past an ice cream van in the park on the way back and a chap was being handed an enormous 99 🍦 I always run without money so I don’t get tempted. Instead I imagined how delicious and cooling it was 😋

Oh wow! Well done for getting out and what a lovely time to run, it was lunch time before I got out. Those keys, I try to keep track of mine but it doesn't always happen 🤣🤣

I know - thought I was soooo organised and then slipped at the last hurdle 🤣

Well done 61Lady. You did well to get up early, it got very hot later in the day.

Ever since doing c25k for the first time, that time of day is my favourite for a run - just got to stop pressing snooze 😉
