Week 9 under way

Gave myself a little Mother's Day treat and had an hour to myself first thing this morning. Well me and Laura and Julie 😁

Drove to the canal today for a change of scenery. It was so peaceful, especially when I'm used to pounding the streets with traffic whizzing by. Passed a few other joggers, cyclists, dog walkers and an early morning photographer. Got a cheery good morning from all of them.

I like doing an 'out and back' run. It really stops me getting hung up on time and how long to go because I know I'm running back to a specific point and have to keep going until I get there.

All in all a lovely start to the day. With the crowd in the photo cheeering me as I set off and congratulating me at the end 😁

I was so curious about Julie that I used a podcast today instead of the app πŸ˜‰

Good of them to turn out... :)

Well done on a great start to your graduation week. You probably couldn't hear them cheering cos you had your headphones in. whoop whoop.

Looks like they need to get moving. Still nice to see interesting things on a run, great photo! Great run, makes me want to search out a canal path, we have some locally. Julie

Brilliant Kim! What a lovely treat for you today. Well done, you're getting so close! Really feel I've missed out on Julie, need to know what she's all about... Feel a podcast coming on next week ;)

Good luck for the rest of week 9, to treadmill... Or not to treadmill, that is the question :) x
