W7R2 you lot made me do it!

[atomic]

An hour after receiving several nudges in the right direction I ventured out, and it was absolutely fine!

I ditched the podcasts for the first time ever (sorry Laura, I'll be back soon!) and just ran 25 minutes with my own music. I was saving that reward for my first post-graduation run, but I felt I really needed to exorcise my horrible W7R1, so I treated myself to a bit of classic rock and other guilty pleasures. It really helped and I felt much much better today.

Thank you so much to everyone on here for the encouragement!

Now to embarrass number one child by turning up to the school playground looking like a very damp beetroot....

Hooray! Knew you would enjoy it!

Thanks! I honestly didn't fancy it at lunchtime. but I'm so glad I was persuaded!

[Tikiczocky Graduate]

Damp beetroots are soooo cool... At least I hope so as I am one too! Well done on your 25 minuter & thank you so much for your encouragement.

Thanks very much! Even when I was a young fit thing I never got away without going very very pink!!

[atomic in reply to paul727]

Because the voices of experience are right! Thanks very much - it was just what I needed

[Belindauk Graduate]

Onwards and upwards to W7 R3

Thanks! We're definitely getting there!

I am glad you got out there - thinking about it can be worse than the actual doing (well maybe not but you know what I mean).

[Ejbirdy Graduate]

Yeah I'm glad you got out there , good effort

[Tomas Graduate]

Well done you! And I'm sure Laura will forgive you, she's very understanding like that
