...that when I got to my usual start point near the river I discovered I'd forgotten to download the podcast and my hair grips/hair band. Thankfully I had enough signal and set off to enjoy the foggy river and didn't get too annoyed by flying hair! Think I spent most of the run wondering what the science is behind the 20 minutes of week 5 run 3 and then dropping back again to run/walk but found I'd gone further than I ever have, around 3.8km I think. It's not fantastic but I'm a very tubby short 40-something who has never before enjoyed exercise and it's 3.8km more than on the sofa 😉

Happy running folks! 😊

Happy running to you too! We do forget stuff at times, but good on you for carrying on regardless. That's the spirit! Running with no plan, with complete freedom, is just the ticket at times. So pleased you enjoyed it. Well done!
