Week 8 completed!

This morning I ran W8R3. It was a funny sort of run. For the first time it was properly dark when I left the house, so I had to make up a route as I went along. I usually run through a nature reserve, and I didn't fancy that in the dark, so I pounded the streets! Having read so much about the famous Laura, I downloaded the podcast instead of using the app. Then I turned the wretched thing off halfway through my warm up walk. I am really tight for time in the morning, so I ended up listening to Radio 2 and setting a timer. Towards the end I found that I was "shake, shake, shaking" along to Taylor Swift, which by that point of the run was very apt! I'm pretty pleased to have week 8 under my belt, and I can see graduation approaching. Three more runs!

Well done! Shame you couldn't stick out Laura but the music is not to everyone's taste (just me apparently...)! Enjoy graduation week!

Laura was lost due to ineptitude with technology rather than my musIcal taste (or lack of it! ) Not entirely sure Taylor Swift was any better!
