Just ran W8R3 without the lovely Laura as she let me down big time on W8R2 by telling me to slow down 2 minutes early then telling me is finished during my warm down walk.....ah well that's technology for you and I'm sure Laura's spanners were nowhere near it. 😀 Anyway today was back to iPod watch and run keeper. Thought I'd throw in an early 30 min run if I could, and see how far I got. Well at 29.57 I hit the magic 5k Whoop Whoop.... My life is almost complete.....Just the 916sps to go....and I really need to learn to play those 2 guitars I bought years ago .....ah well 10 weeks ago I had no thoughts about running so life is full of surprises and after week one I realised why I had no thoughts of running but just stick with it any newbies who might be reading this because if a 53 year old with dodgy knees and back and AF can do it then there is real hope for anyone. Looking forward to W9

Yes my AF doesn't seem to affect my running or exercise in general. I've got it I live with it I try and keep away from as many triggers as possible and just monitor it myself. It's a lot milder than many people have and I had an ECG check up last week and all is ok apparantly.
