First post graduation run complete!

Had an interesting 30 minutes this evening... First 10 minutes all fine, lalala, then a bit of a draggy bit until a slightly naughty AC/DC song came on my shuffle and made me laugh so I perked up again! Beautiful late afternoon here - blue sky, warm sunshine - though pretty windy!

This might sound mean but I'm glad I ditched Laura a couple of weeks ago (sorry Laura) as there was no 'Oh no, what'll I do without her?' thing to go through. I only ditched her because I couldn't cope with the music any more, honest!!

I use an app called run double it follows the nhs couch to 5k but you pick your own music and in interval announcements.

Sadly I don't have an iPhone and I'm too tight to pay to put music on my android!!! I'm just pootling along quite happily with my garmin for time and my iPod shuffle for music 😊

I ditched Laura in week two - apart for the music not doing anything to flaoat my boat, she was all pally and nice but never invited me home for a coffee and a hobnob after my attempts at running.

Well done for getting that run back on the track! Nothing better than good moozik to get the spring back in your step :-)

It was great. Angus shouting 'She's got balls' in your ear is just the thing to get the spring back in your step!! 😉

the world is lobster now :D you can go your own way :)
