The evening started so well, prepared all the dinner and gave hubby instructions on when to put it on so ready when I got back from run. Decided to nip to the loo before heading out and managed to drop my VERY expensive phone down the loo - argggghhhh! It's as dead as a dodo and has my C25K app on it so no phone and no run.
Managed to find an old phone and spent an hour getting that into a fit state to download the app - couldn't remember my password either, so the run won't be logged. By which time, I've already eaten my dinner and my stress levels are through the roof.
I thought that doing the run would be good for calming down, but I decided to take a different road as a bit of a short cut (as run 2 left me 10 minutes away from home). What I didn't realise was that all the cars and vans use the pavement for parking so run 3 was spent squeezing sideways past cars whilst a mutting a stream of obscenities under my breath.
When run 4 was about to start, I was on the steepest down hill and was too scared to run as I needed to take a sharp bend, this wasn't so bad, as I only missed the first little bit and started as soon as I was round the corner.
If I can get my phone working again (currently sat in a bag of rice in the airing cupboard), I will redo W1R3.
I hope everyone else had a slightly less disastrous run!
Your very stressy barmy x

Oh that's a bugga about your phone , fingers crossed the rice does its work.
Far as I can see you comlleted the run so you could move onto week 2
Wow, you have shown real dedication getting out there and doing it, what a rotten night, hopefully your phone will have survived and be ready for your next run. It's an absolute pet hate of mine cars parking on the pavement, I have twins and the amount of times when they were in the pram I had to go out into the road just to get about was unbelievable.
Wow! I admire your determination to get out there, well done for getting as far as you did! Don't know if you saw the series "trust me I'm a Dr"? Women should eat before exercise, (men afterwards) as its better for fat burning etc, so you got that right too 😉 Ps try those little bags of silica gel that come in shoe boxes for your phone.
